Hey,
I am in this DDC, my due date was the 14th, i just mostly lurk, but i thought that i would post that the baby came and the details. I NEVER thought that i would go early!!
He was born at 2:19am on May 6th. 8lbs 2oz, 20in long
My water broke at about 11:30 on monday night. I actually thought that when i ws having my regular contractions (that i have been having for weeks) that i was peeing on myself. Then i went back to sleep, and woke up at 12:15, to more of the same. That was when i realized that i was not peeing but my water broke.
My contractions were then at that point right away 2 min apart, and lasting for a minute. called the MW, she got over about 4:30am. I was already 6cm, and was doing fine. Got all the way dialated to 9.5cm, basically just a rim left, and then it would not budge. Spent 6 hours like that, the rim them swelled and i just could not relax enough at that point to get the rim out of the way. I decided to transfer to get some meds so that i could relax to get the rim out of the way. It took 3 hours for the swelling to go down, after it did i pushed him right out. No tearing or cutting.
i got a VERY LIGHT epidural so i could feel everything, just with the edge off.
I am so bummbed that i did not get my home birth that i have planned for forever, but stuff happens i guess.
We signed ourselves out at 6 hours after the birth and are home now.
I have to say that i have NEVER felt pain like that, and i am not even sure if there is a word in...any language to describe it!!
Those natural birth videos that i have seen seemed to have left that part out.
