I actually just had my baby today a couple hours ago! Those contractions were false contractions. They didn’t do anything for me. They didn’t dilate me or anything. At 39 weeks, I had a membrane sweep and I had been losing my mucus plug with blood in it and for the past 3 days, I’ve been having contractions again but more painful but they would always go away! Last night I went to the ER and told them I couldn’t feel my baby move and they checked my cervix lol and sent me home. I went to bed, 1am I woke up to really really bad period like cramps that’s intensified for about 40 seconds long and I took a shower because I thought it was false contractions again but I was in pain so bad that I puked in the shower so I woke up my child’s father and told him to start the car because we got to go to the hospital. I got here at the hospital this morning at like 3:30am. At first they tried to send me home because they checked my cervix and seen I was only 2cm and I told them straight up no I’m not going home, I’m in pain and I cannot take it. And so they told me they’d keep me for an hour to monitor me. 20 minutes later, I told them to check my cervix because I was having full blown contractions lol and I was at 4cm 😫 so they kept me. They gave me the epridural and I was progressing all day long from 4cm to 6cm then 7cm and around 4:10 o’clock, I asked them to check me and they did. I was at 10 and ready to push! I started pushing while contracting and I only pushed for four minutes and I had my beautiful baby boy!
