Grayson-Levi`s birthstory

I don't know where to begin as it was a very long and hard journey. I called in to the doctors on Thursday night because my blood pressure was giving my trouble again, then was told to come into the office on Friday for a blood pressure reading. My mom had an appointment as we share the same OB/GYN, so I left home with her around 3 PM. They checked it a couple times before sending me to L&D to be monitored closer and 20 minutes later I was told they would keep me to make sure things didn't change for the worse. My doctor then informed me that I needed to be inducted, but couldn't start me on medication to start up contraction due to me contracting on my own. They couldn't just give me something to make the contractions worse because my kidneys wouldn't hold up. They gave me an IV to help hydrate me, so the contractions would come to a stop, but after 14 hours of that and the antibiotics for StrapB, they started pitocin to get things going. At 10 PM my doctor came to check me and was only 75% effaced & 3 CM, so he said I would have to get a c-section since my water was broke for 5 hours. I got ready for the c-sections and all I heard was your such a good patiant, yay! It wasn't that bad at all, contraction were off the charts, but I didn't have medication until they put a spinal block in for the c-section. 32 hours of labor & 90 minutes of c-section, I had my little man at 11:30 PM Saturday night(August 15th). I spent the next 3 days in L&D becuase my iron level dropped to critical levels and my kidneys went hay-ware. I received two units of blood on Monday and got released on Tuesday at 5 PM.
