Maxwell-Atticus-Mitchell`s birthstory

I went in for induction on the 22nd at 6:00 am due to my elevated BP. At that point I had no cervical changes or contractions. They started me on Cervidil to open my cervix. This also started to cause some contractions. At about 7:00pm my cervix was about 4 & the doctor broke my water. They also started pitocin and called for the epidural. From that point on it was pretty rough. I ended up having the epidural placed 6 times. The doctor who placed it said I was the most challenging case he ever had. Several placements didn`t take at all. Twice it worked but wore off within 2 hours each time. Luckily it was during those times I was able to try & get some rest. After the last one failed my contractions started to get extremely painful. Unfortunately at this time it was not possible to get any pain relief because my labor was so far along. I ended up having a vaginal birth without any pain relief. I did not tear or require sutures. Luckily I had a great team egging me on. My husband & my mom were there & all the nurses & my doctor were great. At 8:31 am Max was born. 9 pds 7oz & 21 inches. Full head of hair. Beatiful! At this point I thought it was over. It wasn`t. I ended up hemoraging a great amount of blood. My BP dropped to 74/43. I ended up getting a blood transfusion. According to the nurses I looked pretty bad. I thought I wasn`t going to make it. We stayed in the hospital until Thursday & now are home. I am extremely swollen with fluid and am still pretty weak. But it was all worth it. We have a beautiful baby boy!
