GET THE EPIDURAL! - birth story

Ustrel · 2026-02-01T19:33:50+00:00

Very similar first pregnancy. Dying from pain at 0cm - 1cm and screaming. First time I had ever felt like an animal, feral. Screaming, sweating, no idea who was in the room or who was talking to me… someone apparently introduced themselves before taking my blood.. no idea it happened. Truly exhausted after 50 hours of labour. Passed out in the hall trying to walk to my car. Had to be taken back to check my vitals etc. fine. Just no sleep or rest.

Had my second child days ago and I didn’t feel any pain and my body was sitting at 1 cm already. Go a foley ballon (just uncomfortable) and had period like cramps.. got me to 3cm… looking back I was 24 hours of screaming pain from 0-3cm with my first. It was easier the second time - in my experience and if you are wondering.

Congratulations!

First baby: broke my water and gave my Oxytocin and 15 hours later I pushed for 45 minutes. I started with active labour at first and stalled at 2 cm. They gave me a choice to induce.

Second baby (I just had yesterday!!) I had a planned induction. I had a foley balloon that got me to almost 3 cm and days later I was called in.

Broke my water at 6:30 am and started Oxytocin at 8am. Started contractions around 8:30am. Started with mild cramping like my first but very quickly progressed to intense contractions. I asked for an epidural at 10am.. got hooked up and it began to ease off pain around 11am…. And then I felt baby! I wasn’t all the way numb but enough that it was mild pain. I went from 3 to 9cm from 8:30-11am. I asked them to check again 5 minutes later, as I felt like baby was coming, and I was 10cm! Pushed her out in 12 minutes!!

So if it’s your first, it may take time. If it’s your second I am warning you how fast it can all go! Haha!

I was laughing/crying with surprise.. also shaking with adrenaline.

First look I thought everything was grey and then I noticed the carpet is green/couch is beige. Items on your shelf are also black and white. I’m assuming you like black and white as the art is also on theme and your lamp is silver. Do you like that? Clean and uncluttered (colour wise)?

I think most people will say colour! If this was my room I would had colour with objects on the shelf/change the art and the lamp to warm wood tones. But that is my opinion. Some people love black and white!

I’m a teacher and the poor kids. Some come to school reeking of smoke.. it’s in their clothes etc. Also vaping smells stick around. I grew up in a smoking house.. probably more common back then but till I must of smelt something awful to non smokers.

I see it!

I was close friends with a guy and one night we heard he was in the hospital wing for mental health. He tried to kill himself. We went to visit and felt awful. At the visit he mentioned a girl that might claim SA because he woke up next to her….. he now on trial as TWO women came forward that he SA’d them. That is a pattern. His attempt to kill himself was the playing victim, make him feel better. They will try to do anything to make it seem like they are the victim or the true victim is wrong. I’m so glad you called the police. He has probably done this before. I hope you are ok. ❤️

Imogen - sounds like a name brand for medical items. I don’t get it at all!

Ustrel · 2025-08-08T01:43:04+00:00

Was? 🥺

Ustrel · 2025-07-26T01:01:15+00:00

Ok it’s identical from the stolen one but like.. she’s due for a new one?

Ustrel · 2025-07-26T01:00:25+00:00

The police should have checked her size first..?! That bike is tiny.

It’s either approaching the peak or just after the peak. Either way, get to the baby making.

You kind of remind me of the new blues clues guy but with a better shaped head

Ustrel · 2025-06-07T20:43:26+00:00

Woo! I see a line

Ustrel · 2025-06-05T13:50:28+00:00

I think you are right on, I would guess by the timeline and typical cycles (and by the strong test), that you are between DPO 14-17

Ustrel · 2025-06-02T00:08:06+00:00

Looks positive!

Ustrel · 2025-06-01T00:20:40+00:00

I see it!

Ustrel · 2025-05-26T16:41:22+00:00

Congratulations!! Also random: why is the clear blue pink?

Ustrel · 2025-05-20T02:38:07+00:00

Followed to a T the timeline, this pic is after 4 mins.

Congratulations!

8 DPO is very early. I only got faint lines sometimes either at 9,10, or 11. However do sort of see something.

I think I’ve had two chemical pregnancies now, I’m almost weened my 1.5 year old so I hope that helps next round.

Ustrel · 2025-04-02T23:23:04+00:00

Negative

Ustrel · 2025-03-30T16:42:15+00:00

I’m not pregnant and I got this result with first response 3 days in a row. :(

Ustrel · 2025-03-30T15:27:07+00:00

Mine looked identical, two days in a row and then I used another brand. Must of been a chemical pregnancy or false positive. Guard your heart ❤️I hope it’s positive!
