Kylee-Marie`s birthstory
We went in at 7 am prepared for our baby to still be breech and for a c-section. When they did the u/s surprise she had turned back down. So they hurried and put us into a room and started the pit drip at a little before 9 AM. I was already 4 -5 cm dialated when we arrived and was having good contractions. They broke my water later morning and then I decided it was time for an epidural. After they gave me the epidural I kept feeling the contractions on a circular patch on the right side of my stomach. They readjusted and said sometimes you can get a `hot spot` if the tube is in to far, because it will miss a nerve. Anyways with that fixed they checked me again and i was at 8 cm. Then in what seemed min I was at 10 cm and ready to push. They told me she was `sunnyside up` or face up which makes it harder to push her out. They tried to turn her down but she kept wiggling right back up. And her heart rate was dropping so the doc finally gave up and said she`s going to do what she wants. I started pushing at about 2:30PM and she arrived at 3:22PM. She is moderately jaundice and we have to go tom for them to test her.
We are home, hurrah, and doing well. She is quite content as long as she is being held and she loves to eat. (My poor nipples!) But breastfeeding is going great. I gotta run got a hungry baby to feed!
