Ethan-James`s birthstory
Went for ultrasound on 16th and amniotic fluid was 4.24 (very low) so dr wanted to start me on cervadil to soften cervix. Contractions started right away and intensified throughout the night. At 7am I was given pitocin... that was painful because contractions really intensified then... around 11am I was dilated 2 cm and my water broke. Thats when pain really started... the gave me an epidural shortly there after and I was finally able to rest. At 2:45pm I was dilated 5 cm, then at 5:45pm I was at 6 cm. Dr was worried and felt like it was best to get Ethan out. His heart rate was dropping with each contraction and I was on oxygen. So, I was rushed to surgery and at 6:12 pm Ethan was born. A very healthy little boy who scored a 9 on both his apgar tests.
