Hey August mamas, so I went into labor early last Monday morning. It was truly an experience lol. I woke up thinking I had a bad stomach ache and needed to 💩 because of last nights dinner until I got out of bed. I was extremely wet and anxiously called my mom and aunt to confirm it was my water and it was (no mucus plug)! I waited about an hr before I went into the hospital - my contractions were coming in 4 mins apart at that point and I was GBS positive so I needed antibiotics. I made breakfast but my body didn’t want it. After getting to the hospital and confirming it was amniotic fluids we found out it was meconium 💩 in it! Why this grown little baby already pooped 😭. I was 1cm dilated but contractions were still coming fast and sped up even faster after an hr because it was decided I needed pitocin and omg. Pitocin made my contractions UNBEARABLE. I labored completely pain med free for 13 hours and only got to 6cm!!! While having back to back contractions I was soooo out of it. I agreed to take some “fentanyl” pain killer IV. That did NOTHING so I caved and got an epidural (dont kill me for saying that I just wanted to go all natural personally) after that I reached 10cm in a few more hours easily and felt no pain at all. Needed stitches but all was well at that point, plus I was numb so I didn’t feel it! Beautiful Baby Boy dawned upon us Tuesday morning and I’m so in love with him! 8/6 🩵
