Just gave birth today at 38 weeks and 3 days. I had no signs of labor before today. Woke up at 3 am with pain at a level of 8 and a half. The pain was a 10 by the time I got to the hospital at 5:15 am. Cervix checked at 5:30 I was 8cm. I begged for an epidural, by the time I got to the labor room 10 minutes later I was 10cm and it was too late. I'm happy is was because my plan was to go natural. I started pushing at 6am and pushed for 2 hours. The pushing gave me so much relief! I welcomed it even though I had to push for a while. 5 hour labor, first time mom. I thank God for helping me through it, my nurses and midwife, mom and my husband!

Ladies, please do a kick counting every day! That was life-saving for my baby. I had a normal pregnancy with all the milestones met at the regular OB appointments. No pain, no leakage, no problems at all. At 38 weeks and 6 days I did not feel my baby moving as much for almost 20h and decided to call my OB who advised me to come for the US and NST. An hour later, I was in the OR having an emergency C section as baby was not moving at all on the US. Luckily, my baby was fine, 😊but very tiny. They told me who knows what would have happen to my baby if I haven't done the kick counting and decided to call my OB. Diana, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for emphasizing the importance of kick counting in majority of your videos! You have made such impact in our case!❤😊

I delivered my baby boy last week being only 38 weeks pregnant. He was my second and I had delivered my first child a week early as well. My water broke in the middle of the night and within 5 hours he was born at 8lbs 12oz. The nurse even tried to hold him in for the doctor to get there on time (he didn't). Unlike my first where I labored for over 12 hours and my daughter had to be vacuumed out after many doses of pictocin, my son needed no help and was waiting for no one. He is now a week old, healthy, alert, and very strong. My recovery feels a lot better this time around too. I was worried about delivering too early, but I think it was just right for him.

I ended up visiting the L&D twice for my prodromal labor, sent home once and just BARELY avoiding being sent home the second time. That second time I came into L&D I’d been having painful contractions 5-10 minutes apart for an entire day from (this was after several days of painful contractions that were anywhere from 5-30 minutes apart. These would ramp up at about 7pm every night and then randomly vanish for hours at a time and then start up again. I was getting to the point where I was in so much pain that night (1/17/2023 at 39+1) that I thought “I can’t do this anymore”. For me the mental battle was the worst, to think that I would endlessly be in pain with no cervical progression. I got up to go to the restroom that night at about 7pm and had a trickle of fluid. A small trickle but still identifiable as something other than urine. I guessed it was my waters, and went to L&D immediately. When I got there they said they couldn’t tell if my waters had broken, but could tell I was having contractions… prior to this I was dilated 1cm, 50% effaced, and station -2 a week prior. I went through a week of painful prodromal labor and hadn’t progressed AT ALL cervically. I was in so much pain and starting to really lose hope. This part isn’t the nicest to hear but it’s realistic. I was left to progress for a few hours and was in so much excruciating pain from the contractions that I was crying, screaming, convulsing at times, biting my blanket and pillow to get through the contractions that were about 2-3 minutes apart and 90 seconds long. The pain was honestly so unbearable and I was begging the lord to take it away. I will be honest that the fear of being sent home with no progression was making the pain so much worse. I was terrified that I would be suffering at home for lord knows how long. Anyways… 4 hours of excruciating pain pass… midwife comes in after “she forgot about me” (she was delivering 3 babies so it’s completely understandable), and I had not progressed at all… I was so defeated. My midwife saw I was in so much pain and wanted to give me one more hour before sending me home. Thank god she did and thank god she had “forgotten about me” before, because in that last hour I finally progressed barely enough to be admitted. From a 1cm/50% effaced/-2 station, to 3cm/90% effaced/-1 station. I was so thrilled to know my pain was bringing me progression that it seemed to vanish. Yes that same pain that was making me convulse seemed bearable now. I had planned to have a totally natural birth, no meds, no pitocin, no epidural. But my midwife recommended an epidural when she admitted me. At this point I was so completely drained from the 27 hours of excruciating (early) labor PLUS weeks of prodromal labor that I needed something to help me get through. My only fear being that the epidural might not allow me to use my body and muscles to give birth later on. Long story short, I’m admitted at 4am on 1/18/2023. Given the epidural at 6:30am. I had a very skilled anesthesiologist and when I tell you the relief washed over my body was like a gorgeous heavenly wave of happiness, I mean it. That epidural SAVED my birthing experience. Plain and simple. I was happy as a clam after it was put in my back. Anyway, I was left to progress further and unfortunately I wasn’t progressing at all. My doctor recommended at that point to be given a low dose of pitocin, and then work slowly from there until I make more progress. I trusted my doctor and went with his recommendation willingly. I was given a slowly increasing dose of pitocin until my contractions were strong enough and consistent enough to make progress and it worked! I was at 6cm dilated and 100% effaced by 12pm. Then my nurse goes to lunch… I think nothing of it, I’m just relaxing with my husband, resting, letting my contractions do their thing.. then I start shaking… similar to a caffeine induced adrenaline rush but I felt great. No pain at all. I felt blissful but I was VIOLENTLY shaking and felt increasing pressure in my undercarriage like I had to 💩. My nurse had let me know when that urge became too strong to call her in. At 12:30pm I couldn’t handle the urge anymore, felt like I was going to 💩 my pants!! I call my nurse in and lo and behold I’m 9cm dilated and progressing fast. Doctor comes in, everyone is getting me prepped. I dilated to 10cm in less than 10 minutes and I’m told to wait for a while before pushing even though the urge to push is nearly unbearable at this point. (Insight: if you’ve ever taken an enema at home, and experienced holding it in and waiting before you go… that’s what it feels like right before birth ~with an effective epidural~ except it’s just an EXTREME version of that sensation.. that’s the only way I can compare it LOL). I waited about 30 minutes before pushing after everyone piled in the room and then began. I pushed for 30 minutes and my doctor coached me through all of it and how to position my body since I still had use of my legs to a large degree. 30 minutes of pushing total and my baby boy was out at 1:58pm! Healthy as can be. All in all, my birth didn’t go at all how I planned but it was an extremely positive experience once I was admitted. Early labor and my lack of progression, I’ll be honest, was so miserable and defeating. Please don’t hesitate to go in to L&D if you’re experiencing prodromal labor… it’s a mind f**k, and it’s mentally draining and so defeating. I really trusted my team to take care of me and I am beyond thankful I let them take the lead in recommending things like the epidural and pitocin, because I would have never asked for it on my own. If I hadn’t had the epidural and pitocin I think my body would have given out from exhaustion before having my son. As it already was giving out 12+ hours before I delivered him. Really long post I know, but advocate for yourself if you’re experiencing prodromal labor. Don’t be embarrassed. Trust that your pain is real and VALID. Try to forget the contractions until they can’t be ignored anymore, and above all trust your instincts. What you’re going through is real, it’s not in your head. Stay strong, and go to L&D as many times as you need. And another little note, don’t be too attached to your birth plan, as it may change completely once you get to the hospital. You got this mamas!!!

Am 38 weeks pregnant & my C-section is scheduled this Friday the 2nd Feb 2024. This is my second pregnancy after 5 years & since the beginning my health has been deteriorating, now that I have severe heart issues this time around I feel super stressed and anxious about the whole thing. On the other hand I would like to thank you because I have been following your pregnancy videos since the very first week & it has helped me a lot. Please talk about anemia, thyroid problems & heart diseases in your videos that women may face during pregnancy which apparently i did face. Anyone reading my comments please pray for me 🤲🏻

I’m 38 weeks pregnant 🤰🏽 and I have to week left until my give birth to my daughter Amari!!!! When I was 37 weeks I started feeling contractions but the doctor said that it was false contractions and my body was getting ready for birth and also they said her head was at the bottom…😮 But I’m at my doctor appointment today cause I’m having a C-Section again . I had 2 pregnancy by C-Section. I don’t know what to think 🤔 cause I’m really scared 😟 to have another one but I know God is with me.. Also today they supposed to schedule me for my C-Section appointment. My due date is on Nov 19 and that’s is before Thanksgiving and I really want some Thanksgiving food 🥘 and I just want a healthy baby girl and a safe delivery!!!❤❤❤❤❤

im 38 weeks today. ITS Fascinating how everyone of us goes through it differently. I had no symptoms, discomforts - apart from occasional heartburn - but I never took any thing for it, neither did take any painkillers.still swimming and being active. was running down the stairs the other day being grateful for the way I feel - no out of breath. since beginning of my pregnancy I knew I will most likely be overdue. and possibly deliver one week after my due date. but what do I know - ONLY SHE knows when she is ready :) xx good luck everybody as I know some journeys are pretty painful and hard- you are almost there ! and soon hard time will be forgotten!!! gooood luck mammas to be!
