Had a Cervidil put in last night and that resulted in regular mostly painless contractions all night long every two minutes. Went into hospital this am at 3cm and so they decided to try breaking my waters and see if that alone did the job. It, things went fast and Iris was born 4 hours later. I had an epidural at 6cm but went from 6-10 so fast Epidural hardly took effect and I felt it all. Oh the pushing, oh it hurt, first time I experience the ring of fire..oh boys but four contractions later she was born pink and screaming. I had a second degree despite an awesome doctors attempt to prevent tearing, he took it slow and did perennial massage but the pre-existing scar tissue from episiotomy with Evan tore..all in all though I can't complain, just had a pee and it hardly hurt. She is 7lbs 5oz and 20 3/4 long. So perfectly dainty but so different then her sister. This hospital
Is awesome and let her nurse 2.5 hours before doing her vitals :) she nursed like a champ.
