On monday the 10th I woke up around 5am with some uncomfortable pains. Around 5:20 I walked downstairs to Dh who slept on the couch that night. He was just getting up for work. I told him I didnt think he should go to work. He said he had to. I told him he needs to wait an hour or so and see what becomes of these pains. He was hesitant because if it turned out to be nothing his work would probably just think he slept in lol. I walked circles around the basement and things were picking up. Dh filled the birth pool and i texted the midwife around 6:15 to head on over. I got into the pool as soon as it was ready and the midwives showed up not too long after. I felt like I wasnt really dilating becuase i hadnt had bloody show or anything. Then before I knew it I was feeling pushy. Guess I was dilating after all! The water broke on its own with a contraction and one or two more and she was out! 8 lbs 6 oz. 7:30am. Apgars 8 and 9. Nursing was painful right away and I suspect a tongue tie. We went into hospital around noon to get her all checked over due to the neuroblastoma but they really didnt do many tests. We went home the following morning. Ultrasound a few days later showed the neuroblastoma looks the same and no metastasis so that's good. Today at 6 days old she recovered her birth weight.
