Real Contractions... FINALLY!!! Updated with pics!!!

post #1 of 17
Thread Starter 
I've been having actual contractions since about 2:45am this morning!!! That's only been about 2 hours as of right now, but I've called my MW to let her know what's going on. These were very sudden in onset so I really don't know what to think yet. They started out about 30 seconds long, and now I am up to a minute or more with them being about 5 mins apart. If they stay this way I will be calling my MW back!

On Facebook, either her Doula or MW's assistant (I know her too obviously) posted that she was happy Erin waited to start labor and welcomed their new arrival (not sure if she ever posted the sex so I will let her) 9 hrs ago. So I am guessing baby is here now.

Congrats!! Happy Babymoon!

Update....

Just a quick update to let you know that Lily Grace was born at 8:33 on Sunday night. We did end up as a transfer, but by my choice. I wasn't making much progress and we couldn't figure out why. Well it was due to the fact that she wanted to be born like Superman! I still had her vaginally about an hour and a half after we got to the hospital. It hurt like nothing I've ever felt before!! I pushed so hard that I gave myself a bloody nose!!! She is perfect in every
way!! She was 7 pounds 12 ounces and 20.5 inches long. I will post a much longer and involved story later! But for now, here's some pics to tide everyone over!

Under the warmer

Big sister!!
