My mood while writing this blog: Joyfully in love |
Well I was 39 weeks and 2 days when "little" Kayley made her appearance. On the 16th I went to my OB appt. as usual with my 2 yr old daughter. Just for a routine check - so I thought. First they couldn't detect Kay's heartbeat with the doppler. Then the midwife came in and used the ultrasound. There was Kay - her heart beating just fine. So the midwife tried to stimulate her. No movement. She then said when a baby acts like this it means time to come out. Mind you I had been ready to have her for the last 2 weeks. So she said she was calling ahead to the hospital to get me a bed and to go there now. I said do I have time to drop off my daughter and pickup my hubby? She looked at me like I was crazy and said nooooooo. So I made plans for my girlfriend too get my hubby and take Erin until my parents could get here.
I was admitted by 11am and in a birthing room by noon. Pitocin was started off we were off to the races. I was 3cm and 50% when admitted. It was a long wait for me to get to 6cm and 80% effaced. That was at midnight. Kay was still at a -1 station. I told them I was informed she had a big head and was afraid she could not engage. They said let's wait and see. I had my epidural and all was well.
By 330am I was fully dilated and effaced. Imagine my surprise. She was at a +2 station. I told then I thought I could push so we tried and I was doing so well that the doctor was called. It took 10 pushes and 45 minutes for me to have her. I had a 1 degree tear and now a beautiful little girl!
