Well I had a bizarre weekend!
I lost my mucus plug last monday after swimming but didn't really think anything of it cause I lost it early with my other DD's. Started having backpains by Thursday but nothing unmanagble. By Fri. night my back was killing but we had gone strawberry picking so I was squatting alot, figured thats what it was. Sat morning I got up early to go 'garage saling' and my back still hurt so We went to the hospital just to get checked since I hadn't been to my OB for 4 weeks (appt was supposed to be today)
I was put on the monitors and I was contracting every 2-3 mins. and 2-3 cm dilated but I didn't notice. This was at about 2pm.
Started fluids to try to stop contractions and gave me a steriod shot for Avalee's lungs 'just in case' and admitted me for monitoring. By 5pm contractions were obviously not going away and I could feel them now (5-6 cms). They moved me to Labour & Delivery at 6pm. Contractions were about every minute and I had to concentrate and breathe through them by now.
7:30pm - 7-8cms but water still intact.
I asked the Dr. to break my water so I could "GET IT FREAKIN OVER WITH!!!" were my exact words! so he broke my water at 8:22pm and left the room. One push at 8:25pm and there she was laying on the bed between my legs. Troy was the only one watching--No Dr in the room and Nurse was doing paperwork!!
She's healthy, came out screaming! Apgar scores were 9 and 10 and she weighs 3lbs, 6ounces.
No drugs--no more being pregnant, I love her so much! ↓
