Abigail-Lynn`s birthstory

Well as you know I was sched for induction on Monday the 7th to be induced. I went in to the hospital with my hubby at 0830 and was settled into a room by 0900. They then began a CTG of the girls and took my bp. After I was all hooked up to the machines the midwife checked my cervix for dialation and to see if the proticin gel would be needed. I was already at a 1cm but my cervix was still not soft and Abby was still high up. SO, the 1st gel was inserted and we waited. At about 1500 the midwife returned to check me to see if anything was happening down there. She hooked me up for another CTG, checked my cervix, which there was no change, so she did the 2nd dose of gel. This time it started up some irregular uterine contractions, nothing big, I didn`t even feel them.
At about 8PM the midwife advised my hubby to go home get some rest and that it looked like nothing was going to happen tonight and that my next dose of gel wouldn`t be till the next morning at 0800. So he left, I was given some codine to sleep and I made sure that if I took the drugs they wouldn`t allow me to sleep through labor, they assured me that labor would wake me.
At about 0115 on the 8th now, I woke up having to pee, so I went to the bathroom. I then remembered that I was supposed to have been given a stool softner before bed but wasn`t given one and I knew if I went into labor the next night I wanted to be cleaned out before hand. So the nurse gave me a gentle laxitative that she said would help me in the morning. I returned to my room at about 0130 and layed down for awhile. I was having mild cramps and thought that a warm bath would help so I got up at about 0220 and told the midwife that I was having these pains and that I was going to take a bath. I must have been in the bath all of 3 minutes before I felt a little gush in the tube. So I got up thinking I needed to pee again. As soon as I was out of the tube my water broke, I then had another cramp a little more painful. then another gush, so I rang for the midwife, I told her what was happening, she grabbed a wheel chair I put on my robe in between contractions and more gushing. she ran me over to labor and delivery, by this time I was contracting every other minute. they thought that the labor would be awhile so they called my hubby , said no rush, meanwhile I am telling them that I needed my antibiotics for my GBS and that I needed an epidural ASAP. They kept saying there was plenty of time, that was until the doc came in 2 minutes later, it`s about 0245 now, and she saw that I was already dialted to a 7. As soon as she was done checking me and they we calling the anthesisolgist I felt the erge to push, they said no it wasn`t time and to just breath but I couldn`t. So I pushed, they all franticly started running around the doc checked me again and said that we need to get to the delivery now. It was now about 0255 and everyone was in a state of panic and rush, nothing was prepared, no drugs, no antibiotics, no CTG machine, the pediatrician was paged, and the doc announced that I was fully dialated! I couldn`t believed it, the anesistioligist said she was so sorry that there was no pain relief now but old fashioned oxygen. At 0258 my hubby came in the door not expecting to see Abby head crowning and me being told to push, he hurridly ran over to my side and started asking one of the 10 people in the room what happened and why wasn`t he called sooner, and not but 3 minutes later Abby was pushed into the world, world ready or not she was ;0)

It was so amazing, my hubby was so proud that I had done it all with out any pain relief, and I am the biggest weeny when it comes to pain. The contractions started to slow down, and I was able to see Abby, eyes wide open and lungs were as loud as could be. Emmy cont. below.....

Emily-Marie`s birthstory

So Abby was just born and contractions where dying off. the doc hurried got an iv drip in me and started contractions back up withing a minute. She popped Emmy\'s water bag, and waited. 10 of contrations passed and still nothing strog enough to pushe her down or turn her, mind you she is the breech one. Anyway the doc uped the drip and things happened fast, first a foot came out so the doc had to go and grab the second. Finfally I was able to push and it was the longest 2 minutes of pushing in my life. But Emmy was born feet first and not a cry was let out, her eyes were open just taken in the moment. It was amazing.
