Raegan-Johnni`s birthstory

My labor unfortunately was very long and difficult! 41 hours from start to finish! I started to have very painful contractions on Tuesday the 15th at 3p, coming anywhere from 4-12min apart. We went to the hospital at 1130p, when they were coming every 4min for an hour, and they sent me home because of course they let up to about 7min apart when we got there, they told me I needed to wait until they were 2-3 min apart.. I was soooooooooooo pissed! They sent me home with and ambien to help me sleep.. not very well.. lol. So I stayed at home all day Wednesday with the same progress, the contractions just never came to 2-3min apart. I was in soo much pain!! So I went back to the hospital at 3p and they took me!!! I had an epidural at 5p, and ohh my god are they FABULOUS!!!! I was smiling and joking. Everyone laughs because I am the same happy joking person whether in pain or not! I think that`s why they turned me away in the first place, I can`t help it, it`s just me! They ended up giving me pitocin because I wasn`t making very good progress on my own ( I can`t even imagine how long it would have been without it!!!). Around 5a on Thursday I was at 9cm and almost ready, the epidural was wearing off and I was in pain again, threw-up twice, it was awful, but they gave me some other medicine that really helped and then I was ready to push.. At first I was like I can do this all day long, but then it turned into 2 1/2 hours and of course the other medicine began to wear off and I could feel even more, I was sooo friggin exhausted!!! She finally popped out at 849a on Thursday the 17th! 41 hours of total labor! Whew! She has the biggest head ever, I swear! She is absolutely perfect in every way! She taught me how to breastfeed! She latched on like a champ! I am so in love with my little girl!!!
