Aidan-Mekhi-`s birthstory

It was a vaginal birth and all natural birth. No pain relief at all. (Still pissed about that) but so worth it. He is beautiful and healthy. I am breastfeeding and don't have any time to spend on line, but just wanted to update everyone. Had my baby shower 9/5/09 and started having contractions that night. Went in that morning to L&D because they were getting stronger, but still ony 10 minutes apart. They kept me for a few hours, but then sent me home even though I was 4 cm dilated. I was pissed. Then when I got home I had a call from the dr.'s who asked me to return to the hospital for a stress test and u/s and even though I told them I was having real contractions they didn't believe me and sent me home for the second time on 6/6/09 around 3:30 p.m. When we got home at 5:30 after having dinner out, my water broke around 7pm. My contractions then started coming every 2 minutes apart. It was horrible I was in so much pain and thought I was going to have the baby in the car. We arrived at the hospital at 8pm. and I delivered him at 8:12 pm. I literally almost had him in the car, and would have if we'd run into traffic. Needless to say the sons of b&$#ts did not have time to give me an epidural because I'd dilated so fast after my water broke. It was the worse pain I'd ever felt. Yes he was worth it, but I'm still a little traumatized by the fact that I'd been there and they didn't believe I was in real labor and sent me home twice and that I had to go through all that pain for all those hours without relief.
