Travis-John-Sydney-de-Bruyn`s birthstory

Well I went in the hospital November 8, 2007 to have my water broke. They broke it at 10am and by 12 there was no sign of labor. At about 12:30 they started me on the oxytocin drip and come 1pm I was having contraction 6 mins apart. Before I knew it the contractions were non-stop. I then asked for the epidural, and in the same sentance screamed that I had to push... The nurse ran to check my cervix and I was eight cm....`NO TIME!` she screamed and then paged for the Dr. Before he even got in the room I was bearing down with small pushes..I couldn`t help myself. There was a feeling of tremendous pressure, not pain. The only pain was the never ending contraction and the not bwing able to take a nice deep breath. When the Dr. was ready It took everything I had to listen to what he was saying. I believe I screamed I couldn`t do it... then `OH F#*$`... with the nurse replying `thats what got you here in the first place` as much as I wanted to laugh, I couldn`t. 5 pushes and my baby was here... my body shaking, tears rolling down my face... I was so proud that I had done it, and Natural. I always said the only way it would happen was if I had no choice. In a 53 minute labor and delivery... there was deinatly no choice. Ican say though that when you go natural the swelling and pain is so much more bareable.... better to relax! Good Luck everyone and thanks to all for everything!

HEY THERE EVERYONE!!! Travis is now eating some cereal in the evenings and has been sleeping 10-12 hours a night for about a month now... 4 months old already WOW!! anyways when I was prego with Travis they nticed at about 18weeks that he had an inlarged kidnet which I guess was caused by a blockage in his uriters (tubes which empty kidney to bladder). they kept and eye on it with ultrasounds monthly and Feb 22 2008 they did an ultrasound on him... so in his third month. They tell me nothing has changed thus far and I now have to go and see a paediatric urologist and he may need surgery to open the ureter or to place a tube in there... I guess I will find out more when I get to the new Dr in May. Seems so far away but I have been told things will work out and that its better they found this problem as early as they have. The condition is called Hydronephrosis if anyone has heard of it or experienced it I would love your info and comments THANKS
