My pre labor was apparently real labor. Lill.ian Eliz.abeth born last night at 9:21
Birth story-called the Dr At 1 after having contractions 15 min apart all morning. They wanted to check me, so I went in around 4. 3 cm. Sent to L&D. Water broke on the way over. Admitted at 5. Contractions picked up really quickly. Got an epidural around 8 and was 8 cm! God bless the epidural! Fully dilated and pushing at 9. After 20 min, a suction, and a wicked episiotomy, baby girl was born at 9:20.
They told me later that baby wasn't handling pushing very well, and were on the verge of a CS, which is why they had to do the suction/episiotomy so quickly.
Nursing is going realy we'll, but healing has sucked so far- I'm so sore and tender and it hurts I like a bitch to switch from standing to sitting or back. Pain meds only do so much. The thought of pooping makes me want to cry!
As for the healing, I hear ya! I had a second degree tear with my first and hurt so badly afterwards. Do you have any ice packs? It helps with the swelling. Oh, and Advil and Colace are your friends! They definitely helped my pain and the Colace helped my trepidation with pooping.
