Hello everyone!
Baby Julien was born on March 9, at 11:56, exactly 26 minutes after we got to the hospital
We just got home earlier today and I'll admit I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed (he's super cute, but he cries a lot
) so I'm going to make this quick and try to add pics when I can.
I started feeling contractions at 9 am (I had lost my mucus plug a few hours earlier), but it was all in my back and I wasn't sure it was really contractions. At 10 I called the hospital, but they didn't seem to think I should go in yet so they told me to take a bath and lie of my left side for 30-60 min. I called Chris at work and told him to come home. I took a bath for 20 min. and then the pain became really unbearable. I tried timing the contractions, but I couldn't, it just hurt all.the.time!
Chris got home at 10:30 and I told him I really thought we needed to go. We called the hospital again and said we were coming, I couldn't even get to the phone to talk to the nurse, it hurt so bad. And I was feeling pressure in the rectal area. At 11:10 we were in the car. When we were a block from the hospital I told Chris there was no way I could do it without an epidural. Turns out, I didn't have time to get one
I got to the hospital, went to the birthing centre and was checked almost immediately. I was 10 cm dilated and ready to push!!! The doc couldn't believe it! I told Chris I was capable of waiting for him to run out and park the car and come back so he did. When he got back, I started to push. I pushed through three contractions and Julien was born!
I still can't believe how crazy fast it all went!
Baby was 3160 grams and 51 centimeters. I'll try and convert to pounds and inches later. And I promise pics as soon as I can!
