After having false labor tuesday and being admitted overnight then send home on wed, then on thursday evening something different happened. I felt more pressure closer to by butt and at the time of my contraction i felt like making a bowel movement. I kept on drinking water hoping the contraction would go away but it didn't, the pain of each contraction felt more intense so i decided to call my dr. She said go tho the hospital and it get it check out, so we did..
When the dr at hospital checked me i was still the same 4cm, so i was frustrated thinking if this is another false labor and i will be sent home i would go crazy. So she said i'll check again in an hour, when she came back i was 5cm and was on active labor. So this is it, the time i was waiting for since the beginning of my pregnancy.
I was given an iv for the group b strep something because it came out positive, then after the blood work i was given the epidural. After 5 mins i was feeling a little bit better than before, but 10 mins after i started to feel pressure going down on my butt, and every contraction i had i felt like making a BM , the more contractions i had the feeling got stronger that i wanted to push so hard. But i couldn't, my nurse checked me i was 7 then another 5 mins after i was 8. Then after 10 mins i really really wanted to push, she checked me and i was 10 cm.
My dr came and it was time to push, I pushed for 10 times and my baby has arrived to our world at 1:49 am on 10/10/08. Giving birth was hard work since my epidural didn't really work so i felt the burning and the pain, and the way that he came out so fast. My baby was 7.9 oz and 21 inches at 36 weeks exact.
So Im not sure but i'm i the first one to gave birth, well good luck ladies because by the time you know it, it would be the day. Goodluck...
