As you all know, I was to be induced on Monday March 10th, due to PIH. Needless to say I didn't make it to then. Saturday I was having bad back pain all day, so I ended up going to L&D around 9pm. They hooked me to the monitors, said I was having some contractions but nothing too significant. Checked me and I was about 2 1/2cm dilated. So, we went home. I woke up at 4:45am Sunday morning, and felt fluid dripping, got up and the bed was wet. So, we went to L&D again. The test for amniotic fluid came back negative, yet I was still leaking, and cramping. They sent me home around 10am, with "cramping" and said they'd see me Monday at my induction. The cramping got so bad, to the point I couldn't talk or breathe and hot showers weren't helping anymore. Angelo called the doctor and we went to L&D for the third time. They checked me, and I was 6cm dilated and in labor. I was then moved across the hall to the delivering room. About an hour in there, and I told the nurse I felt the urge to push, she checked me and I was fully dilated. The doctor and anesthesiologist were in with a c-section, so I had a natural birth with 3 nurses delivering me. I pushed for probably 5 minutes, if that, total. I had such a fast delivery, I amazed everyone there, especially for being a first timer. They said to inform everyone that I deliver fast the next time, so I won't be sent home like I was. We just got home today, spending 3 days at the hospital. We were to come home yesterday, but Jayden had jaundice, and ended up being a blue light special for 2 days. We have a pedi appointment in the morning to check his levels, but overall he's perfect
As for me, I'm feeling pretty good, still pretty sore. I live for my Sitz bath and donut. These 'roids are a killer!
