Labor

I lost my mucus plug and appearantly my water broke about 14 hours ago.. )': These contractions are horrible, and I'm still only about 3cm dilated and even if my contractions have gotten stronger, they're also not as frequent as they would want it to be so I won't be getting my epidural anytime soon.. THIS PAIN IS HORRRRRRRRIBLE! D:

    I was into too much pain to remember and hear everything the nurse said, but something sealed itself a little so I am no longer leaking amniotic fluid, just bleeding here and there.

    Try as best you can when a contraction comes to relax every muscle in your body. Like a rag doll...or you can try to get up and walk around. It should make labor move faster. Or you could try to use the bathroom (sounds weird I know) or take a hot shower.

    Walking around does wonders, I've been walking for hours straight, but had to sit down cause my feet were starting to hurt. At first there was mild pain down in my abdominal area, and as the hour passed, it got stronger and now is everywhere, from my abdominal area to to top of my belly )':

    @mommy2audrey I woke up around 6am from groaning from pain in my sleep and when I went to use the bathroom I noticed a big wet stain in my boxers and I was bloody so I went to the docs right away, I got checked around 9am and they told me I broke my water. I've been in the hospital right after she told me, and I'm still here, still 3cm dilated but with stronger contractions D:

    Ahh im constantly thinking my water is going to break...

    You could try the hands and knees position with lots of pillows underneath to support ur belly. Try to remember not to tighten ur abdomen justlet the belly flop. It may help to prop it up on something

    @beautiufl_altar Ohmygosh, I give you props. This pain is too much for me )': Its also my first child.

    You can do it!! When ur uterus contracts you can exhale and think about your favorite place in the world. Try to imagine the wind in the trees or the waves on the beach. Your uterus will tighten but always relax again. And if possible try to relax between contractions. You can really do it!

    I got my epidural and I got even extra med through the iv cause the med isn't strong enough, if the contractions are strong I'm squeezing the living shit out of the baby father. I've fotten the med jbakrf

    Just woke up from being drugged with a lot of dosage at once, from a pain med through my I.V. & some other medication from the wire to my back from the epidural. I can't stop shaking, I'm so cold but the nurse thinks my room is burning hot. Sadly I'm only just 4 cm dilated now.

    @SOSmommy I'm 37 weeks.

    Thank you everyone, you're all so kind.. I just thought it'd be wrong if I kept talking like the world revolves around me without saying thank you to everyone for their time to actually respond and wishes for good luck.
