anyhOo
on thursday Oct 1st, 2009 at 10:OOam i had a appt to check my bp,because that monday before i had a very high bp, well it was still high sO my doc told me to gO to the hospital..i went right away..
well i was monitored for hours & by 3:50pm they decided tO induce me due to my blOodpressure being up&down. i called my boyfrand to let him know & to get the baby bag & to come..
well at 7:3Opm i got my pill -- the magic one.
that starts all the cOntractions. .
&at 9:Oopm they HIT ME.. the real things i was going to die. people telling me to breathe thru my contractions..i was like OoO oOo Ooo.
around 1am i was at 5/6cms sO i got the chance to get my epidural but i was also on some medication that made me extremely shakey &drowsy &my contractions were 3/2mins apart sO i was feeling them sO quickly that everytime i get one i get extremely tensed &i would SCREAM. Yeh screaam. my boyfrand &his mom was telling me that i wont be able to get the epidural bcuz i cnt stop shaking. im like `NO. nO. nOo i cant do natural labor gimme the epidural lets gO yo lets gO yo!` &i started crying softly to my self (lil crocodile tears) sO they gave me some medicine to relax my nerves it just puts me in &out of sleep. at 3am, after the medicine was inside my body &i calmed down
my contractions calmed a bit so i demanded them to get me a epidural before my contractions speed up again. they let me..finally &i did good..i stayed strong even while having contractions&getting stick with the needle. i am indeed proud of myself for that one.
well after the epidural i was good i was sleep..bad thing is
the epidural does wear off & i didnt know that, i thought it was consistent. another Unknown. anyways i was awaken by
contractions &pain &i could feel my legs so i knew my epidural
wore off... i told my bf &his mom to go ask a doctor abt my epi i dont feel it & i need more, thats when stuff hit the fan! they didnt want to do it -- kept telling me NO..&stuff..
i got VERY upset. &showed it.
finally my boyfriend went go get the doctor she checked me & i was
still 5/6cms
she let me get my epidural & i was able to sleep again.
i had gotten the epidural atleast 2 more times after that before my doctor showed up in the morning around 7ish or 8ish (the times are such a blur while in labor)
and he checked me & said i was still 5/6cms &if i didnt dilate in
2hours he was going to give me a csection . well he started me on pitocin to see if it`ll improve my contractions.
2hours went by- no doctor
but a hell of a lot of contractions..(epidural was continuting to wear off & i no longer felt when the epidural doctor was giving it to me)
3hours went by- still no doctor, still pain..& i find out my doctor is operating on someone,
4hours went by- pain increases, still no doctor
5hrs went by- im feeling sOoo much pressure!
im demanding to see a doctor hell any doctor, shoot a resident!
finally someone came in checked me &i was 9cms
i was in pain &they gave me some medicine & i fell asleep
woke up again from ANOTHER PAINFUL CONTRACTION.
my boyfriend mother was telln me : we`re going to have the baby soOn..&the baby bed stuff is right there..on the other side of the room which i did not look at cause i felt it will make me nervous.
sO i just laid down &drift off to sleep.
finally i woke up with all these people, lights, doctor pushing my bed up people checkn me..
&it was time to start pushing..
well i couldnt push gOod enough..i was trying &trying..
finally the doctor decided to use suction cups...
&he`s hereee!
