[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had been having contractions on and off for days (not too painful so I didn't go in) when I went for an ultrasound at 40 weeks. While I was there for my ultrasound I decided to drop in to l&d to get checked because the contractions had gotten significantly worse. My water broke around 5pm in triage. Only 1cm. Was checked in and given pitocin to hurry things along due to meconium. Got my pit around 9. My uterus overreacted so it was turned off. Asked for Epi and got it around 11pm. I was 3cm. At 1:30am I was checked again and was 9cm and she was out in 3 pushes. The nurse said the epi may have helped relax me and hence the good progress. It was heaven![/quote] Just wanted to add to this that I'm so glad I got the Epi. My placenta had to be manually removed (the docs did 30 minutes of trying to gently get it out with massage etc but it didn't work) and finally the doc had to reach in and pull it out. I'm glad I couldn't feel that! [/quote]
