I had my beautiful daughter on thursday!
I had been having contractions about ten minutes apart for about 24 hours, and thursday morning my mom and I gave my dog a bath and the contractions all of a sudden started hitting really hard and fast (3-5 minutes apart), so my mom talked me into going in to the hospital because I was afraid they would send me home.
So we went in and I was in tears from the pain and we waited for about 30 minutes while they hurridly cleaned a room for me.
Once I got changed they had the on call doc come check me, and it happened to be my favorite doctor! I was at a 3 and 80% effaced. She asked if I wanted to have a baby that day and when I told her yes she broke my water.
The contractions were so intense I was having a hard time handling myself, though I was told I did a really good job keeping it together(they tell everyone that, right?), so they put my IV in (after 6 tries. I guess my veins get really tense and don't bleed or something)
I got a shot of pain killers and they had the epidural guy come in.. after what seemed like forever... and after that I was in heaven. I realized that anesthesiologists talk too much.
They checked me again about an hour or so after the epidural and I was at 7 and completely effaced. the doc said it would be about an hour and i'll start pushing.
So once I started pushing my contractions completely stopped. We tried to work through it, but it just wasn't happening so they gave me a tiny bit of pitocin and they came back, but were really weak.
After 2 hours of pushing and waiting and pushing my lil girl came out kinda sideways...
Everything was so wonderful and almost perfect!
She got a 9/9 apgar and perfectly healthy.
I love
her so much!
