Delivery

:-) danke dir vielen mals :-)
I was admitted at 12, balloon came in at 2 pm, came out at 9pm and that's when I got some pain meds in the IV. I was 4cm at 9 pm. At 12am I got the epi and went to sleep at 5:30 they checked me I was a 7. I went back to sleep after getting some more epi stuff. Woke up at 7 and had strong cramps but no urge to push because of the epi. They came checked me and I was 10 but I couldnt push cause I didn't feel the muscles down there just the freaking cramps. They slowed the epi so I could feel the urge to push but I didn't. So a delivery nurse or so came and ibpushed they saw the head and said go for it when contractions come. I pushed 4 times and she came out. :-) healthy. 8lbs 15oz, 20"3/4 inch ( like Melody)


I was schedulded for an induction due to GD on my due date May 14th Tuesday. 
I called L&D and they said they will call me back, so we went to NST at 10am. Everything was fine and we were waiting to get the US done, that's when L&D called to come cause I was being admitted. They told me to make sure I eat something so we went to BK and I ate a whopper lol. We got admitted at around 11 - 12 pm. 
They checked me and I was only fingertip open but very soft. ( I was having bloody show since the 9th (thursday)). Since I have already been induced with my first child and it didn't go too well I had expectations and kind of knew what I wanted and how.
At 2 pm I received the foley bulb and was laboring on my own till 9 pm. that's when it came out and I was having contractions 2-3 minutes apart. At 9 pm I was 4 cm and I received pain meds in the IV. I fell asleep right away and woke up shortly before 12 am with more intense contractions, that's when I called for the Epi. After receiving the Epi I went to sleep and woke up at 5:30 am, got checked and was a 7. 
I asked for more drugs in the epidural and received that, the contractions got pretty strong. I went back to sleep and woke up at 7 with intense cramps asked to be checked and I was fully dilated and she felt the head. She asked me to push but my epi was still pretty strong and I didn't feel the kegel muscle nor the urge to push. So they turned it down and we waited for the urge but it didn't work. They prepared everything and I was in so much pain from the cramps I was crying and I knew that I had to get her out. 
Delivery team arrived and the Midwife said go ahead and try to push, so I beared down and pushed 4 times and she came out at 8:17am on the 15th of May.  My placenta came out 10 minutes later.
We were moved to the Mother Baby unit like 2 hours later and we left to go home the next day at 4 pm.
I am so happy and we are now complete :)

Admitted

Called L&D at 8am but they didn't have a free room. We went to NST and while waiting for the US, L&D called to come upstairs cause I was being admitted.
Hooked up to the monitors and got blood drawn at around 12pm. We are now waiting for the doctor to come check me.

2pm: doctor came checked me I was still fingertip open. She inserted the foley bulb and we are now waiting to dilate. I have my own contractions,  when they stop that's when they would use pitocin.

3pm: strong contraction that was 120 on the monitor.

7:30pm: contractions are 2-3 min apart and pretty strong but I'm a through them. Nurse said Foley should fall out around midnight and baby would be born around noon.

39+4

Nothing was happening in the morning but at 2:15pm after going to the bathroom I discovered bloody show again. Well its more like a orange pinkish discharge. As long as it's not the water.

39+3

This morning I had just a little bloody show and then nothing the whole day.  We went to Ross in HH, Wal-Mart and HEB. In the late afternoon I started leaking again but it was clear yellow this time, and later in the evening it got pinkish.  Still unsure what it is we decided to stay and wait. Valeria is moving so no concern for now.

39+2

Previous days weeks:
I had regular Braxton Hicks, some pressure on the pelvis and baby dropped weeks before. Was very active at times, like crazy I might say. Last check was on Monday 29th April so 37+6 and still nothing. I started taking EPO 500mg 2 orally and 2 vaginally 4 days ago starting Sunday night 5th of May.

This morning 39+2 I woke up and had more discharge which was mixed with blood, it looked like kind of orange. I changed my liner twice. Had 3 needle like pains that led me to the bathroom. Now it's waiting game again. I have an appointment today at 12:30 pm so we shall see.

Update:
Doctor checked me and I was not dilated nor effaced but soft. She scheduled an induction at 40 weeks, May 14th.

I got home waited for hubby to get home so we can go grocery shopping, after we were done with that we went to KFC to get some dinner and while waiting for the food I felt a leak again. I went to the bathroom and same thing as this morning I went back to the waiting area and it happened again.
We went home and ate and while I was cleaning I bent over to pick up some crumbs from Melody and I felt and heard like someone would squeeze a bag. Next thing I feel the fluid come again, it's always just a little bit. That was at around 6:30 pm. I am a little confused at what to do now. I guess I better go find my book and see if I have to call L&D.

Update 2:
Didn't go to L&D. It kept leaking but just a little bit.
At around 11:15 pm I got up to go to the bathroom and I had a lot of discharge.  I also have minor cramps. I will wait the night and see what's going to happen.
