That’s amazing about lo1 saying “baby” right before your water broke, it’s like he was calling her and she listened! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shes-here-pro-epidural-39-wk-augmented-lampd-story#post-2804742 Sat, 17 Feb 2018 05:26:30 +0000 DesertDreams88 2804742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Juliana was born yesterday at 2:07pm, 20.5 in, 7lbs 9 oz. Very peaceful baby. So thankful. Still so surprised about going into labor 39 weeks, water breaking first, and how amazing the epidural was. For reference, my son was 9 days late with a 24-hr induction with back to back contractions, stalled labor, and I wasn't allowed an epidural due to low platelets, and </p> <p>Birth timeline:<br /> 4:30pm: Cervical check at OB 1.5 cm,<br /> 6:00pm: nurse son for 10 min, got cramps, laid down<br /> 6:30pm: LO1 patted my belly saying "baby" and then my water broke<br /> 7pm-1am: not really contracting, chilling in OB triage, finished some grading while standing/rocking<br /> 1-7am: 2 cytotec doses got me to 4cm and effaced, but lots of pain and crying about being stuck in bed for monitoring and my water breaking putting the 24-clock on labor. Even though it was early labor, my contractions felt like a thick wooden pole being shoved through my vagina.<br /> 8am: luckily my platelets were high enough so I got the perfect epidural: even on both sides, could move and feel legs, having contractions but not feeling them. Seriously AMAZING and REVOLUTIONARY and PHENOMENAL. totally labor-altering element.<br /> 10am: started lowest level of pit, at 4cm still, rested, hazy sleep<br /> 1pm: 10cm, yeah! WHAT?!<br /> 2pm: baby born after 40 min of pushing. I could feel the pressure and the pushing but not pain. </p> <p>I had some low blood pressure after delivery but that was managed quickly. Small 2nd degree tear and some swelling. </p> [attach=5393/18/p4aic6.471x600.FullSizeR.jpg] [attach=5393/18/p4aic8.532x600.IMG_2135-1.jpg]
