9.15. The epidural is in. It's all happening and I can't believe that I'm finally saying that I'm feeling a bit of excitement now.
We had a second dose of prostin around 5.30am. I had been feeling contractions for a while and they were 5 minutes apart but my cervix was still long and only 1cm dilated. So they put another dose into me and left me to my own devices.
The contractions were painful but not as bad as I thought so i had a snooze and before I knew it, my perky anesthesiologist was here and it was all happening. I don't know how long it'll take from now. With my darling daughter it was 5 or 6 hours til delivery. Maybe this one will be faster and easier. I can only hope!
So difference between first and second child. Last time my dear husband was by my side holding my hand when the epidural went in. This time... Sitting in the armchair on his laptop hardly even looking up during the while thing.
Now I'm gonna watch a movie and relax until it's time to push. I so hope it doesn't take too long!
