After walking around at 3cm dilated for 3 weeks, I went in for my checkup at the doctors being overdue at 40 weeks 3 days pregnant, the doctor checked my cervix and yep I was still 3 cm but i was thinned out, so she swept my membrains ( which automatically made me 4 cm) felt my uterus to see how big the baby was. The doctor said wow thats a big baby!, we can induce you anytime. I was like sounds good to me. She was oncall at the hospital the next day, but there were already 2 inductions that day, so I was waitlisted. Called the next morning and they told me to come in, I was so excited. But as I was getting ready, the nurse called me back and said she didnt see that I was on the waitlist and said to come in tomorrow to see what time to come to the hospital.

The next morning I called and needed to be there by 7am. Got there and checked in. Got my IV put in and the pitocin started at 8am. I didnt start having contractions for about an hour and a half. But when they started, boy they started. They were 4 mins apart and lasting 45 sec. but soon tured into 2 min apart and lasting 45-60 sec, I tryed to hold out on getting pain meds but damn those things hurt. So at about 10:30ish I got the spinal, I was fricken numb from my armpits down,I couldnt move at all, it was the weirdist feeling ( It was so awesome). About 30 mins later my doctor came in and broke my water,She said I was 6m, then I fell asleep for 2 hours. Woke up and I was able to move my legs again but still not feeling any contractions. At about 1:30 doctor checked me again and I only had a lip of my cervix left, meaning I was 9 1/2 cm. wow that went by fast! I was going to get another spinal but it was too late. The nurse told me that before this spinal wares off we had to get the baby out, so at that point I was determined, I started pushing at 1:45ish and my baby girl was born at 2:11pm weighing 8lbs 8oz. I was so happy she was finally here, Ive been waiting to have her for so so so long. Im finally a mommy, yeah!!!!!
