Bailey-Grace`s birthstory

Sunday morning, I woke up to go to the bathroom about 5AM. My stomach was upset and I felt like I had a gas bubble so I bent over and felt this little pop. I thought it was kind of weird but I went ahead and went back to bed. About 10 minutes later, I rolled over and water started going EVERYWHERE! So, I woke my husband and told him that my water broke. I told him to take a shower b/c I wasn't in any pain and I wanted him to be as comfortable as possible. We got to the hospital about 5:30 and they couldn't tell that my water broke b/c after the first time it kind of stopped. But, I was dilated to a 4 and after she checked me water started leaking again so they went ahead and hooked me up to an IV. About 2 hours later I started having contractions and asked for my epidural b/c I was dilating so fast I was afraid I wouldn't have time to get one. It was ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! Now, I don't want to scare anyone b/c I'm sure this won't happen to you. I have SEVERE scoliosis and the anesthesiologist had to do my epi 3 times! Anyway, he hit a nerve in my leg and I almost came off the table. So, after that was over, I felt great for about an hour. I couldn't feel anything below my chest. But, it gets better. My epi wore off and they tried sending me more meds but NOTHING worked. I started feeling EVERY contraction and I was in a lot of pain so my husband had to make everyone get out of the room b/c I was literally thinking I was going to die. After everyone left I started breathing through my contractions (THANK GOD for the lamaze breathing class we took or I honestly would not have made it). After about 3 hours of hard labor it was time to push. I knew b/c with each contraction my abdomen would automatically start pushing. I pushed for an hour (only screamed once) and there she was. I was still in massive pain after she came out but after the doctor stitched me up and the placenta came out I started to feel conscious again. I love my baby so much and I'm SO happy she is here!
