![]() ![]() She ended up being a preemie, so her size made pushing significantly faster (she was five lbs- still hurt like hell) The nurses exact words were: “Oh, yeah, there’s the baby- someone get the doctor in here!” They checked again and, sure enough, within mere minutes, I went from a six to a ten. They checked dilation, and said it would be a while and to hang tight. My partner thought it was another false alarm, so felt no urgency- until he got in the room and I almost killed him for taking so long (he’s an amazing guy, just young and didn’t know what to expect lmao). I gave the front desk my info between screams, but ultimately she told me we’d finish later (lol). He was freaked out to say the least.Īs soon as we pulled up, the nurses somehow already knew and ran out with a wheelchair before I was even all the way out of the car. He hadn’t even gotten his food before speeding off- almost crashed twice ran lights. Within a few minutes, I was gripping the roof of the car and yelling. Thought it was strange, shifted, and felt a rush of water. Then, while at a Wendy’s drive-through on the way to my fathers’ work (luckily, he works at a hospital), I feel two pops in my belly. I spent four days with on-and-off contractions, but it was way too early to go into labor so we wrote it off as Braxton hicks. It’s been a year and a half since the birth of my wonderful daughter. But nothing compared to the first pee after pushing a baby out. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. The pushing wasn’t bad at all if anything that was like a breath of fresh air compared to those contractions I was having. Hopefully I have time to get an epidural and have it lock in this time. I’m pregnant with my third and I am terrified of laboring that fast again □ but knowing my body I will. I kid you not, the nurse left for 4 minutes came back to check me again before sending me to get my epidural in a room and I was at 10cm THAT fast. We get to the hospital to check in at about 4:50 which took about 3 minutes and I get checked at about 7 cm. We leave everything and I get in the car at about 4:41. I immediately called my mom who SPED to my house she got there in about 10 minutes. 4 hours after he left I was eating a popsicle in bed and BAM real labor contractions started it was about 4:30 pm and I knew a real contraction from a fake one. My child’s father decided to fly to Georgia to be with his family for 3 days because I told him it would be okay and that I’d make sure I kept this baby in until he got back. Somehow that didn’t raise any alarms for the nurse practitioner and it was my second baby at 21 so I trusted my nurse. I had been having non painful Braxton hicks for about 1 week before full blown labor and I was at 5cm during my appointment. I was about 37 weeks pregnant I had an appointment the same day in the morning.
