I was excited that I went into labor on my own and wouldn’t need pitocin, but my body was doing a little too much for my liking lol Adam and I walked the halls for a little bit, pausing when I had a contraction so I could lean on him.
It would have been one thing if I had breaks in between my contractions, but the contractions had been like 3 minutes apart for HOURS and the back labor was continuous.
The contractions were continuing to be 2-3 minutes apart, lasting 1-2 minutes each time, and the back labor hadn’t let up for hours.
Finally after 2 minutes, but what felt like a life time, they got Jack out, snipped his umbilical cord (no delayed cord clamping here) and handed him over to the NICU team in the room.
