Jayden-Kainoa`s birthstory

So, this is gonna be long cuz im not good at making short stories! So it all started the day i thought i was leaking fluid. After being sent home from the hospital from my `false alarm` on Tuesday, my contractions only started hurting more. When i had left the hospital at around 1pm they were irregular and just a little painful, bearable. Since i really didnt sleep much the night before i took a nap for 2 hours. When i woke up at 5:00pm I noticed the contractions were startin to be a little more painful and regular. So i called my mom for awhile and went on the computer. I started timing them on contractionmaster.com and they were like 10 min and 8 minutes apart consistently all night. Around like 10 pm i laid down with my hunny to watch tv. By then,the contractions were pretty painful but since they only lasted about a minute and were 8 minutes apart i thought it was normal and i could handle it. I was actually in labor and had no idea. At 11pm i took a benedryl so id be able to fall asleep, but the contractions kept getting stronger and stronger. Im like ok, im really tired now so i tried to fall asleep but was still timing my contractions while trying to do so. So id fall asleep for a few minutes, and BAM! every 7-8 minutes id have a horrible contraction. Im thinking GOD, these are really starting to hurt. I was breathin so hard and almost crying they hurt SO bad. Still not realizing i was in labor, i kept dealing with it until 3:30am, and finally after dealing with it for like 6 hours and trying the whole time to sleep i was SO irritated, im like how and the HELL am i sposed to sleep?! And your tellin me i could be goin through this for DAYS? Then they REALLY got painful and i woke up my boyfriend and i was like I CAN NOT HANDLE THIS NO MORE! I dont care if theyre 8 minutes apart and they send me home again! I just wanna go to the hospital cuz i cant possibly stay here and handle this pain at home! Its not fair,i shouldnt have to deal with this pain! As i was getting my stuff together in like 20 minutes my contractions started to become 4-5 minutes apart, and the contractions were coming on with a vengeance. So we got in the car as im like realllly in pain with my mom on the phone, she lives in Illinois and wanted to be on the phone with me through labor since she cant be here, that was funny. The hospital ride was like 30 minutes away, 5 minutes down the road my bf`s like, i forgot my wallet! Im just like, wow. I told him to go back and get it cuz he would need it. So back home we go, then on the road again and my contractions were about 2 minutes apart the whole way there.Im like DAMN! This shit hurts. Some of them were right after eachother and im like, what the hell? I thought i was sposed to get a break in between?! I didnt get a break, thats not fair! My mom was laughing at me. When we got to the hospital i could barely walk. I was 4-5 centimeters dilated when we got checked in. WOW! I guess it does come on outta nowhere cuz earlier the day before i was still only 2. I was so glad i was really in labor, i didnt wanna get sent home again. But i was so surprised that it was really happening! yaay! We got to the hospital around 4:30am got in the room about 5am. The nurse prepped me, got my iv in and drew blood and everything and then at like almost 6am they gave me the epidural, started pitocin (which im not sure why?), and put in my catheder. I was like, when do most people get the epidural? and the nurse said like 3 centimeters, im like what?! Ive been dealing with this pain longer than i couldve been? I think i coulda actually done it without the epi, but why? i dont wanna be in pain when i dont have to be. Im glad i got it, i cant imagine giving birth without pain relief. I was so worried about the needle from the epi., and the catheder, im so silly. I really didnt like the epidural bcuz for some reason it like really, really numbed me up. I was numb up to below my boobs and couldnt feel a damn thing. It wasnt bad at first, but then once it fully kicked in i couldnt move anything at all, it was like i was paralyzed and i started feeling really funny and panicky and my anxiety started to kick in. I guess it just wasnt whati was expecting, i thought id still be able to move. The doc said everyone reacts different to the med and usually people need MORE, but for me, i was like no, i need LESS! So he shut it off for a 1/2 hour and then turned it on lower, it was little better after that. I felt like i could breathe a little better but i still couldnt feel a thing, which was fine though. I was SO tired and tried So hard to sleep but the epi just made me feel so weird and loopy that i couldnt. At one point my bf left to go get food and my leg started to fall off the bed, and i couldnt sit up or move my leg, i had to call the nurse. Im like, uh, my leg is falling off the bed, can you come fix it? haha, that was funny. They checked me again at almost 9am and i was dilated to like 6-7. I asked the nurse outta curiosity about how long she thought it would be til i would be fully dilated. She said probly about 4-5 hours. Im like ok. Then at 10am, my doc came in on his way to a c-section just to check my progress, and when they did, theyre like, whoa! Shes fully dilated! Lets go! All the nurses and the doc started scrambling around getting stuff ready, me and my bf just looked at eachother like what?! Already?! wow! So everything started in a matter of minutes. I was like,i cannot feel anything so i dont know how ima push, theyre like dont worry we`ll help you. Direck didnt really wanna watch the baby come out, he thought he was gonna be by my side, but then the doc was like come over here and hold her leg up, so he was like right there in all the action. But he was ok, just a little amazed at what was goin on. Labor was not painful at all, i couldnt feel nothin! It was just hard pushin as hard as i could and not bein able to feel what was happening. But all the nurses were like your doin so good, your pushing great! I kept putting my butt up, and theyre like, put your butt down and push! I couldnt feel it though, so they had me pull on a sheet that the nurse was holding. The doc was like the head is almost out! If i snip you itll pop right out, im like, no, im almost there, just let me tear if im gonna. I mean,thats more natural, if i tear then thats whats meant to happen. At one point he was gonna use the vacuum but after a couple more big pushes, he came out! I only pushed for about 25 minutes and out he came! I was just so amazed at how fast evrything happened! It was beautiful, it was the greatest moment ever when they put our sweet little boy on my chest, i was so overwhelmed with feelings i cant even describe it. They had to take him and put him under the heat lamp cuz his temp was a little low, and then my doc had to go do the csection on his other patient. I had a 2nd degree tear on the inside, so they had to leave me in the stirrups until he could come back to sew me up. So i was just layin there for awhile waiting, and i was hating it cuz little baby Jayden was over there with all the family looking at him and i wanted to hold him so bad. Then i watched the nurse give him a bath and do all the procedures. Direck got to be right there for everything though so it was really sweet watching him in awe. I finally got to hold him while the doc came back in to sew me up. He was like wow, you have 4 tears. He was down there sewin me up for a longggg time, but i didnt care cuz i couldnt feel nothin!. We went off to the recovery room and my epi wore off like hours later. I still couldnt sleep, i was just too excited. I didnt end up going to sleep for like 48 hours! All i gotta say is for some reason i didnt think about how much the aftermath was gonna hurt. I dont know why, but i just didnt think about the fact that i wasnt gonna be able to walk after and how much pain id be in in the following days! silly me. My stuff was SOOOO swollen, it was the craziest most painful feeling ever, like worse than the actual labor! The whole 2 days was so surreal. The whole pregnancy has just been the most amazing experience ever, and our baby is so beautiful id do it all over again in a second. I am so grateful that through everything we had a healthy baby, and i prayed and prayed for a fast and easy labor (laughing at myself all along) and i got what i prayed for! Im really proud of myself, i handled the pain for the time i was in it so well, and im so proud of my hunny, he has been the best support through everything and he is the best daddy ever. I am so happy to have my own little family!! And i cant stop looking at our little boy being amazed that such a beautiful little miracle came outta me! Im so proud to be a momma!
