Birth details

Arianna-Ellen-Watson`s birthstory

Thursday morning I was feeling a little crampy before I went in to the hospital to get my gelling of my cervix done. After the gel was inserted they kept me for a couple hours to monitor me since there was a 10% chance I would go into labor. I started having contractions pretty often for the last hour and a half I was there so the nurse checked my cervix before they would release me. At 11:30am my cervix was still completely closed and just as thick as ever so they sent me home. All the way home the contractions continued but that was to be expected from the gelling. They told me just to relax and stay laid down so the gel could really soak into my cervix and soften it up. I fell alseep for a bit despite the contractions and just laid in bed for and hour and a half. About 1:30pm the nurse called me from the dr office to ask me how I was doing. I told her I had still been cramping and she asked me what rating I was rate it on the pain scale 1-10, I said 6. She asked the dr what I should do and he said just rest a bit more and if it hurts more call back. About 2:30pm I am contracting every 2 minutes to the point where I am crying it hurts so bad. I call the dr and they tell me to head into L&D. I start getting the bags to the car as quickly as I can but since I was contracting so hard it took me a minute to get things done. Plus I was trying to get Isaiah to get his shoes on because he was being a little grumpy from having to get up early that morning. He also was a bit irked I told him we were going back the hospital (where he just spent the morning bored) when we just got home a couple hours before. I call Jason and ask him where he is at because it was now 3pm and he usually gets home by 3:15pm. He said about 10 minutes away and I said please hurry best you can because I have to go to the hospital NOW! He comes home and whisks in and pretty much comes to my rescue. He gets all the bags in the car and Isaiah all packed up and ready to go. I can hardly walk around due the pain on the contractions in my back and then my water breaks! It is about 3:20-3:25pm and I have to change my bottom half really quick and I grab a towel to sit on in the car. I get into the car and I am contracting so hard I am saying to Jason, I am not sure if I am going to make it to the hospital! I feel like she is coming out now. I am thinking to myself I might have to call 911 and say meet us at mile marker 50 cause we are having a baby now. He says just let me know but I am going to drive as fast as I safely can and we will get there. He tells me to just breath and hold his hand. I am breathing the best I can and with every contraction trying not to push because she is about to pop out! It was hurting so bad I was screaming and crying and breathing and almost looked like I was convulsing because my body was shaking. We didn't hit traffic but it took us about 30minutes to get to the hospital so it was about 3:55pm and by that time I was soaked from the waste down with my water and I am crying from pain and am a mess. We park in the ER parking and run in with a wheelchair. The staff didn't seem to be moving fast enough for me and then a contraction hits and I start screaming and crying in the lobby to get a bit of pep in their steps. They started to rush me up to the L&D room as quickly as possible. All the while I am just trying not to let this baby come out until I get up there. I am thinking to myself oh my god this is happening so fast I won't have time for pain meds! I tell myself screw it I have to get this over and done with I will be OK! They give me a gown to put on and I hop onto the table and the nurse checks me. My baby is crowning and she had already pooped inside me so my water was mixed with miconium. The nurse tells someone to get Isaiah out of the room and get a table ready for the baby. She puts her hand on my shoulder and says if you feel the need to push with the contraction go for it. She told me I was safe and didn't need to worry about anything and don't try to wait for the dr if I had to push. So I had a contraction pushed and her whole head popped out. I had another contraction right after that and pushed and she popped the rest of the way out. They hadn't even hooked me up to the machines yet or IV or anything. I heard the nurse yell, We have a baby girl! Time of birth 4:05pm. Arianna started to cry right away and was pinking up already. She was so perfect!! All the nurses started doing their thing with the baby and getting her all cleaned up and getting me all cleaned up. The dr came in and said, well I guess you couldn't even wait for me! He delivered the placenta and checked to see if I had torn. He said no tearing everything looks great and all I can see if a couple of skid marks. I am assuming those might've been scratches? or maybe a couple little stretche marks? Not sure. I asked for some pain meds because it felt like I had fallin really hard onto my tailbone and my back was killing me from all the contractions I had. They gave me some motrin and I was like, you got anything stronger? LOL They gave me a percicet and I felt better. I was still high on life and in shock that it just went down like that. I felt like I was in the movies or something. I am so thrilled she is here finally <3 I am so in love with her.
