Caden-Joseph`s birthstory

I had been having contractions on/off for SEVERAL days and was really uncomfortable at home. The contractions weren`t necessarily strong at first, but they would get to 1 - 3 minutes apart and it made me really nervous. Unfortunately my cervix just wasn`t doing anything, so I was frustrated. I went to the hospital yesterday and they said to go home for a few hours because they were PACKED and didn`t have room to admit me unless I was at least 4 - 5 cms. So, I went home and rested. We went back around 10pm and they gave me an Ambien and let me rest for a few hours while they monitored me. They started my labor at 7am this morning. I was on pitocin and the contractions were suprisingly tolerable. My cervix started making change and I went for several hours without an epidural. I finally gave in and got one because the anestesiologist was going in for a c-section and would be gone for over an hour....so I didn`t want to chance it! My epidural worked GREAT....on my left side. I could still feel EVERYTHING on the right and was really uncomfortable. I tried to handle it though because I didn`t want him to have to redo it, but I just couldn`t take it anymore. It was about 4:30pm and I was 6cms. He came in...redid the epidural....and I was finally at rest. It was 5:00pm when he was done and the epidural kicked in. Within 5 minutes I felt A TON of pressure and told the nurse who just HAPPENED to be in the room. She came over, lifted the covers and yelled to the other nurse...`CALL DR. DUFF for a precipitious delivery!!!` They told me not to talk, sneeze, cough, laugh, or push! His head was right there and they were running around prepping the room. My doc came right in (she was just across the hall) and threw on her cover-up, waited for a contraction and then told me to push. He was out with ONE push! No kidding....ONE PUSH! I am STILL in shock. I can`t believe it. As she was cleaning me up she told me that if I have anymore children I need to be prepared to deliver VERY QUICKLY.
