So we started to feel some contractions Sunday evening but since it was not too painful so we tried to sleep it off. We woke up Monday morning and the contractions were gone.
Monday evening around 6 30 pm, the contractions came back and it became quite regular around 9 pm so we call the doctor and decided to go into the hospital for a check up to make sure Chamu is okay.
At the hospital, I was 1 cm dilated and the nurse advised us to stay. We then officially checked in at 1030pm. I was trying to delay the epidural until I was in the second stage of labor but by 1230am I gave up. I don't know how women do it without any pain relief. I am just not as strong and after epidural was in, I felt I was back in pre-pregnancy heaven. We went to sleep around 130am and now at 830am, Chamu is still not down yet. He has been on heart beat monitor and seems to be doing quite well. We are still trying to have natural but it now depends on Chamu's willingness to come out.
