I checked in 7/18/19 at 11am because my contractions where 2.5 min apart, was put on monitored to track contractions which did show I was in labor, I had steady contractions and my body was doing what I was suppose to. I was 3cm dilated got checked an hour or two later that showed 4cm. Then the nurse walks in with a bag, I asked what that was she said pitocin I said I didn t wanted that. She said that s what my dr. Wanted. They where trying to convince me about getting an epidural but I just hate the side effects I had with my first pregnancy. I wanted to speak to dr. And explain why I didn t wanted it. My second pregnancy I had a all natural labor, no epidural. I wanted to have an explanation why the dr wanted to use pitocin on me if my contractions where real close and my water wasn t broken yet. Well nurse still went ahead and put the pitocin in my iv. I was trying hard to control my pain naturally but because the pitocin I am guessing was making my contractions farther apart now nurse the to pump it up again then after some time they got farther apart again they pumped up the medicine again, at that point they checked me again and was only 6cm and the nurse would only walk inside the room just to pump up the medicine and I was like this is only going to get worst for me, it s only going to get my body too tired that once it s time to push I won t have the energy so as much as I am against the epidural I gave in, everything was good, no pain, I was finally able to relax, nurse came in a couple of time to have me move a little to one side. Well I started feeling pain again, strong pains, I even pressed the epidural button and it wasn t working, here she came back and I told her please don t pump up the pitocin I can feel this pain already and I am screaming every time the contractions come, she still pumped it up. It was hell after that, strong contractions I couldn t handle anymore, I was screaming in pain every time a contraction came & epidural was not working, I kept telling them I was in pain, finally nurse decided it was time to call the anesthesiologists again to check and yup the needle had moved so another epidural had to be done. Gave birth 7/19/19 at 1:10. I just wished dr would of walked inside my room, explain what she had in mind, if I was ok with what she had in mind. Communication would of made my labor experience better since I felt like I had no say and no control. On 7/21/19 I was back home when going to the bathroom a piece of meat was hanging from my vagina, I didnt wanted to pull cause it wasn t a blood cloth it was pale, smelly, 1 and half inches thick 4 inches long and I am sure longer if I pulled more. So I went back and yes it was a piece of placenta. I felt like the whole room smelled so bad after they pulled it out, I was bleeding lightly but it smelled so bad I just wanted to shower, kept apologizing for the smell coming out of me. Got an ultrasound done. It seems like nothing is left inside of me this time. On Thursday I have a appointment so they can check me again. I just hope that nothing is left inside me, I am still bleeding lightly, the smell isn t as bad anymore but I fell is still a bit off. Imma continue to check on smell hoping it s starts going away if not back to getting checked again. Out of my 3 pregnancies, one being a natural labor with no pain meds, this was the most painful one and the scariest. I am still a bit scared I can get an infection but hopefully everything is good. No more kids for me after this experience
