Text of the page (random words):
had it prior to active and hours of labor within the next hour the contractions were more than bh but not painful i could just feel then annoying my cervix a little i went to the bathroom again and had some mucous plug come out with more show i d also never had plug before active labor so i wasn t sure what it meant for me i told tony who was about to leave to go work a clinic he works at one half day a week otherwise he d be home at our private practice i could tell he was excited that things were happening and that he didn t want to go but i assured him it was just warm up and it would be a while if anything happened and it could just fizzle out anyway i decided to skip my morning walk and take a bath i guess i was testing the contractions and figured if it was just bh that a bath would make them stop tony left and i was in the bath at 8 45am i spent about 45 minutes in the tub i didn t notice any contractions while i was in there i got out and they came back still annoying my cervix but not painful i posted a 40 week belly picture on fb because i figured if it was real that this was the last chance i went downstairs to get my dog wash lady situated and my midwife was at the kitchen table this was at 9 40am she d arrived three days earlier from montana she came earlier than i d asked because of bad weather potential and midwife intuition i was convinced that the baby wouldn t be here until closer to 41 weeks but was glad she was here it s a long drive and it was nice to spend some time with her she and i chatted i ate again and i told her about the contractions show and plug we timed a few and they were coming regularly at 3 5 minutes apart my last labor started hard and furious so even though these contractions were close they were only about 30 seconds long and not painful i decided to try to take a nap 39w6d i put on my hypnobabies fear clearing track and didn t sleep the contractions were coming easily 3 minutes apart and while still not painful were more than just bh the cervical pressure was more intense i texted tony an update i fb messaged some friends i decided to get up and put on a full face of makeup while i was doing that i realized i was in real labor it was early labor i could still walk and talk through contractions but it was happening tony called and we talked about what was happening and decided he should still go run errands he d planned i just knew it would be a while before things ramped up tony got home at 1pm i was so glad i was fine but just wanted him home we ate some lunch and chatted the contractions were still consistently coming every 3 4 minutes i decided to try once more to take a nap that wasn t happening i couldn t handle laying down anymore it was getting too intense i decided to put on my labor clothes my black bravado nursing bra and my night gown we hung out in our upstairs office area and i put my hypnobabies easy first stage labor track in my ear tony ran around the house getting a few things done and went to meet graham and stella walking home from school for me getting them home was the last big thing that needed to happen tony told them the baby was coming soon and they both kind of sheepishly came upstairs to see me we had talked about what would happen how the baby would come out and watched birth videos but at 6 and 8 they were still a bit nervous we hugged and kissed and took pictures of my last day as a mama of 2 and then they happily ran off to rot their brains on their tablets the contractions were picking up in intensity and i had to concentrate through them i sat on my birth ball for a while but the pressure in my crotch was too much i kneeled on the floor and rested my upper body on the ball we had music playing and a song came on that made me cry tony just sang and rubbed my back i should have recognized that was labor really picking up speed i kept having to pee a lot and the contractions were coming 3 minutes apart in my head there was still a lot of time ahead of us i started standing for the contractions it was the most comfortable position leaning over my desk and standing tony had gone downstairs to get me some water and the midwife asked how things were we were happy with our privacy and she was respecting that she told him what kind of noises to listen for from me and to come get her if i do xyz he told her i wasn t making noise and we haven t even filled up the birth pool yet she told him the baby didn t care we all got a good laugh when he came back up stairs we decided to go ahead and fill the pool i wasn t sure i was ready to get in just yet but i knew it would take a while to fill the water pressure just wasn t cutting it though and it was coming out a quarter of what it should have my contractions really seemed to increase in intensity but weren t super long but i was really starting to work and breath through them i had 3 4 four that instead of kind of standing and rocking my hips through them and lightly squatting into them that i came up on my toes and bared down against them i didn t think i was pushing and i wasn t have the overwhelming pushing contractions that i d had last time i was just trying to make it easier to get through i i then felt something i felt something in my vagina it didn t make sense to me i put two fingers in and felt something i wiggled it back and forth between my two fingers it was kind of long and thin feeling but not like the umbilical cord but not like a bulging amniotic sac of water either tony was still messing with the pool and i told him i felt something to go get ollie the mw he was like huh really same as me but he ran down the stairs and ollie was up the stairs before i even knew it she couldn t see from my standing bending over position so we went to my bed tony ran and turned on the bath tub assuming that i d just get in there if something was coming out i got in the bed and ollie looked and it was the water bag coming out in front of the baby at that moment i had a giant urge to push that i hadn t previously had and in 2 3 pushed it came out ollie tore a hole in it because the head was just behind it tony said oh my god baby you re doing it after the bag came out i didn t want to push the baby out i wasn t ready i wasn t prepared it was happening fast i didn t realize it was coming and i wasn t in the water i did not want to be in the bed i did not want to be reclining back with the mw and my husband watching i wanted to be on my knees in the water so tony could catch the baby how did i go from thinking this baby will probably be here by midnight yay less than 24 hours labor to i ve got to push it out right now here i freaked out and i didn t want to tear so i didn t want to push so i let my body just push and while she was right there i knew if i gave it a little umpf she d come out but i didn t want to instead i screamed and huffed and puffed and arched my back and cried and was way crazier in these few pushing contractions than i was in 4 hours of pushing out stella ollie tried to tell me how to be more productive so i d stop freaking out and just screaming through it and actually try to get the baby out her heart tones were fine but there was meconium tony was a mix of emotion cheerleader and helper he watched it all i felt the head coming down it was hard and i didn t want it to be there i wanted to be done i felt the crowning when the crowning started i decided i was done and i bared down hard and popped her head out i asked if the whole head was out i could see most of it and it was the midwife checked to see if there was a cord around her neck and there wasn t i waited for the next contraction and pushed her shoulders out there was a little resistance and i didn t feel that 1 shoulder 2nd shoulder delivery that i felt with stella i pushed out her shoulders at one time then the rest of her just shot out along with a ton of water the midwife suctioned her since there was meconium in the water but as soon as she was done i was bringing her to my chest i pushed for maybe 20 minutes max during pushing our assistant midwife showed up i just looked over and said hey to her and smiled at one point she was born at 4 45pm tony and i were both in the aw and oh my god that just happened state it was a girl and she wasn t huge she was covered in vernix which was another first my placenta took about 45 minutes to come out i was really over that the contractions were uncomfortable and i just wanted it out i pushed out about 7 8 tangerine sized clots actually i shot them out and we thought it was the placenta until that happened finally it came out and i was much much better it was nice to not have a retained placenta like i did last time i felt great right away the baby nursed for a solid 20 minutes i took a shower and put on clean clothes and the midwives cleaned up and changed the sheets tony held the baby while i showered and just stared at her once cleaned up we ate and they did the newborn exam she checked out perfectly graham and stella were in and out once the baby was born they didn t come in during pushing i m sure it was scary i was pretty loud but they did come up when it was over we realized it was still early evening and decided they should go to school the next day so we made sure they ate dinner and got ready for bed they both seemed ok with what they heard and saw after all was settled it was just the three of us papa mama and baby we stared at her and talked about what happened tony slept a good bit i dozed here and there we woke up this morning and made sure the kids were ok spent some time with them in our room with the baby and then saw them off to school i hardly feel like i had a baby i didn t tear at all i m a little tired and a little sore but otherwise fine we had some confusion about her birth weight but after re weighing twice she was 7lbs 12oz 20 5 inches long and 13 75 inch head she was a full pound and a half smaller than my first vbac baby almost 2 inches shorter and head 1 75 inches smaller diameter i had her 12 days earlier than the last one too i went from a 40 hour labor with 4 hours pushing to 8 hours and about 20 minutes of pushing it s amazing how different i feel i totally had a business hour baby read full post make a comment 1 so far recently on doula momma 10 tips for becoming a runner moms can
