I had my baby girl on Tues night
: I got my HBAC!!!
Short version: membrane stripped on Mon about 6pm, crampy right away. Woke up at 4:10AM with a nice, strong contraction. I tried to sleep but decided to get up at 5:40AM to eat a little something and when I did my water broke. That's never happened before. Went back to bed and called midwife at 7:30 when I noticed some light meconium in the fluid. MW got here about 9AM. My sis took ds and dd out. We did a lot of walking, I ate, etc. Labor was slow going and I was only 4-5cm at about 4pm. MW gave me some concoction to drink at 5PM and then whammo! LOL! Labor sped up so fast I could hardly keep up. I was standing and rocking the whole time. At about 7PM I grunted and declared I had to go potty while my MW followed me to the bathroom. I swore I just had to go, I could not believe that my body was ready. I ended up jumping into the pool and my body just went with it. It was intense, primal, I was soooo loud. It really took me by surprise. Shortly after that the birth assistant and 2nd midwife arrived and I just couldn't even acknowledge them. I was too busy. When dd crowned MW had me get out due to a concern about thick mec. Had one contrax in living room them moved to my bed and she was out with the next one at 8PM sharp.: It was incredible. I am so happy and in love with my baby girl
