Mia-Alejandra-Diaz`s birthstory

i woke with pains on my due date (june 10th 2009) couldnt sleep, peeing every hour and contracting about every 20 minute to 30 minutes. went in for my check up that morning at 7am, and was dialated to 4cm 60% effaced. being already 40 weeks my doctor didnt want me to go past 41 weeks, so we schedueled the induction for the next day at 11am. went home and i was still contracting and losing my mucus plug. the contactions got closer and stronger but i was still baring it (about 12 mins. apart around 4pm) did some last minute things around the house (i even waxed) and they were now at 9 mins. it was 12:42am and my husband practically begged me to go to the hospital already (i wanted to wait till 11am for my induction) got to the hospital, admitted (now at 6 mins. apart) finally got a room at 3:30am and now they are 3-4 mins. apart.. as i filled out consents and the rest of the paper work they prepared my iv because i was dehydrated which led to it irritating my uterus making it contract uncontrolably every 1 to 3 minutes at still 4cm 70% effaced -2 station. well i then opted to get the epidural at 5am, they checked me and i was 7cm 90% effaced -1 station. at 5:30am they broke my water. i ate a cherry popsicle and then took a nap. woke up at around 8:30am felt some pressure asked the nurse to check me and i was ready to push. started pushing at 9:04am (3 sets of 3 pushes for 10 seconds each) and at 9:11am 7 minutes later... Mia Alejandra was in my arms!!!! i tore a bit and got a few running stitches, other than that everything went smooth and my epidural was great aswell.

`s birthstory

I went to my OB appointment at 38.5 weeks on July 7th (4:00 pm), I was 4 cm dilated, 70 % effaced and at a -1 station. I was getting contractions all day but not enough to make me go into the hospital. We went to the mall, walked around and shopped around. Got home, finished packing the bags, built the crib (it was recalled so we had to get a new one and it arrived that same day I was contracting), finished up the nursery, showered, shaved, pumped gas in the truck and did a little last minute shopping at Wal-mart (around 4 am). Finally arrived at the hospital and I was admitted, I was 4-5 cm, 80 % effaced and still at a -1 station (contractions were 10 minutes apart and some small ones in between), they broke my water (9:18 am) and i got my epidural an hour later (my contractions were now 4-6 mins apart, I knew they would get worse and closer so i didn't want to wait until I couldn't bear the pain) I was feeling an awful pressure on my tail bone at every contraction, took a 15 minute nap and asked the midwife to check me because the pressure was very intense. She goes "I feel no cervix!! lets get this show on the road!!" she was so shocked because the last time she checked me I was 4-5 cm dilated. So I started pushing... a set of practice ones and his head was crowning, then 2 real big pushes and Kaleb Alejandro was born!!! It was now 12:05 pm, He couldn't have been more perfect =]
