Keira-Claire`s birthstory

Well to start off, I was scheduled to be induced on thursday the 26th but Keira had other plans =]
Tuesday was a normal day for me I had no contractions or any other signs labor was near. I watched a movie with Derek and at about midnightish I went to bed. I woke up a little after 1 feeling as though I had to pee and when i got up I realized i was a little wet and was leaking, I honestly thought I was peeing myself even though it kept coming but I did go pee and kept on leaking so I was like this must be my water breaking, which I sorta knew but did not want to get to excited seeing as though I was overdue and nothing seemed to be happening and well was scheduled to be induced the following day. So I wobbled out of the bathroom to the phone to call Derek, I called his cell first he did not answer, then his house phone, no answer, at this point I was freaking out that he was not answering so then I called his sister's cell and she did answer! She went to go give Derek the phone and I told him my water was breaking and he thought I was lying and I said "why would I call you at 1 in the morning for a joke" and then he goes one more time "are you being serious" and i said "Derek, I am being serious, this is not a thing to joke about", so he said he was coming to my house and would take me to the hospital. At this point I was very calm and when Derek go to my house he was all ready to go saying we better get there and I was just taking my sweet time saying I needed to find something to wear and put a pad on so I wouldnt leak all over. I have no idea why i was not in as much of a hurry as him. So anyways, we get to the hospital and the monitor me for awhile and I am at almost 2cm =/ and this lasted quite awhile at this point my contractions had started and I was getting uncomfortable. For many hours my labor was boring and there really is nothing to say about it,All I did was sit around and wait until I was 4cm because then i could get an epidural. I was very iffy about the epidural, I knew I wanted it, there was no way I was not getting it but i kept putting it off because I hate needles and just was scared. Well I was expecting the worst of the worst but really it wasnt that bad I was all ready to scream and squeeze Dereks hands as hard as I could but really it wasnt that bad for me, it did not hurt that bad, of course its different for everyone. After getting the epidural I was a happy little camper and smiling again, before the epidural I was in tears because of how bad my contractions were getting. Anyways,I did not progress fast, they ended up giving me potosin and I kept throwing up and Keiras heartrate was dropping and going up she was becoming stressed. So they said if I did not get to 10cm quick I would have to have a c section this was almost 30 hours after I got to the hospital and I was exhausted so really at that point I was not stressing the idea of a csection to much I just wanted to be holding my little girl and for it all to be over. So the waited a bit and checked me again and I just was not progressing the way they wanted me to, so they decided the best thing to do would be to have a csection and i felt very relieved to know I would be done soon. So they got me all ready and wheeled me down to the operating room. My epidural had a kink in it so they had to also give me a spinal. This is where things went bad, it was only supposed to numb me from my shoulders and down but it did from my eyes down and I was still getting sick from the potosin but couldnt feel it and i was having trouble breathing and my eyes were going black, I could barely see a thing and had trouble swallowing i really thought something horrible was happening I felt like I was dying, I also lost my ability to speak for a bit and it took all my strength to even get out a whisper. Derek came in and asked me how I was but I couldnt talk so i started to cry, because like i said i felt like i was dying. He kept asking what was wrong and i could not even answer, I remember whispering something but not sure what exactly I think maybe like "i am scared" or something. he held my hand, which i could not feel but just knew he was. The whole time I just layed there feeling dead and barely concious. When they showed her to me I could barely see her because my eyes were still all wierd. After though I passed out until I was all stiched up and they were about to wheel me back to my room and at that point i was feeling a bit better. When I got in the room Derek was holding Keira and I smiled, I was so happy to see her. The wheeled me into place and then I got to hold her and she was just beautiful =] It was a hard labor and was very long but was so worth it!
