When I got there, they have the ball that you can bounce on. There's the chucks pads that you put on the bed. So they had put that on the ball. And this was right after I got to the facility. I noticed there was like a little bit of yellow fluid there. Yes, I'm a nurse, but no, I've never given birth before. I've seen a baby born once and it was in a car. A mom pulled up to the ER and

pop, there goes baby. I've never experienced birth myself. So I thought that this fluid that was on the Chuck's pad was normal. I noticed that, but I didn't say anything at the time. It was a very small amount that was on the pad there. Throughout the night, I was in and out of the tub because the tub helped provide some relief when the tractions came.

between walking and being on all four and on the ball. And I was doing all of those things throughout the labor. What's funny is I had said something about taking something for pain and Danielle made a smart remark about, I can only give you Tylenol. I'm like, well, obviously I know that they don't have anything stronger than that there, but it's just funny thinking back on that.

Probably early in the morning, maybe around one, two, my labor stopped progressing. Like my contraction started to slow down a little bit and they started to space out.

Yeah, she told me to rest while I can. She didn't say anything about the contraction slowing down. And in the midst of in labor, my brain was only on one thing. And it was just me and the baby. I really wasn't paying attention to like logistics of stuff. And I wasn't in my nursing brain. I didn't know that they shouldn't have been slowing down. I had already been in labor for 48 hours.

This was in the middle of the night, Sunday night. So it's now into early Monday morning, around 2, 3 or whatever. I remember Danielle being in the room a couple of times. She would come in to change the water in the tub because I was so exhausted. Danielle, she did start an IV and start giving me fluids. I hadn't really eaten anything.

I was snacking on, you know, little stuff and trying to drink water. We had asked Danielle to check me at some point to see how far if I was dilated to a 10 yet. And she had told me to wait for whatever reason. I don't really remember. Danielle had been there on call since Friday. She had left that morning, Monday morning at 8 a.m. There was a switch. I was not aware of the switch.
