KASEN-DEAN`s birthstory

WHAT IS CONSIDERED THE DURATION OF LABOR? MY STORY BEGAN WITH BLEEDING AT ABOUT 6:30 IN THE MORNING WHILE SITTING ON MY EXERCISE BALL. IT WAS A BRIGHT RED LARGE AMOUNT. CALLED L&D AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN. HE WAS STILL MOVING ALL AROUND AND I HAD THE BLEEDING WHEN I WENT INTO LABOR WITH MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER TOO.
ARRIVED AT HOSPITAL AT 8:10. GOT CHECKED OUT - ONLY DILATED TO A 2 AND 90 EFFACED. BUT THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR THEM TO KEEP ME RATHER THAN SEND ME HOME. YEA! AT THIS TIME HAD THE GIRLS, MY MOM, AND MY AUNT WITH ME. TEXTED THE REST OF THE FAMILY TO TELL THEM I WAS BEING ADMITTED AND MOVING TO MY ROOM!
MY BROTHER GOT TO THE HOSPITAL A BIT AFTER 10:00 I THINK.
THINGS WERE VERY VERY SLOW. I WAS NOT IN ACTIVE LABOR AT ALL. TOOK A LONG JACUZZI BATH AND READ MY BOOK. WALKED THE HALLS AND TOLD THE STAFF MY OPINION ON THEM NEEDING A TREADMILL.
AT ABOUT 3:30 THEY BROKE MY WATER. CONTRACTIONS FINALLY PICKED UP A BIT.
AT 5:15 I WAS 3 CM AND 100% EFFACED AND HE WAS AT O STATION. MY DAD ARRIVED.
5:55 I WAS GIVEN SOME FENTINAL TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF OF THE INCREASING CONTRACTIONS. HARDLY WORTH IT - IT WAS STILL VERY PAINFUL. I STARTED SITTING ON THE BIRTH BALL WHICH DID NOT HELP. MY BACK WAS KILLING AND WE WERE SURE AT THIS POINT I WAS HAVING BACK LABOR.
6:00 HE WAS GIVEN THE INTERNAL MONITOR CAUSE THE BELLY ONE WAS NOT TRACKING AS WELL AS THEY WANTED. FENTENAL STARTED HELPING A TAD. JUST MADE ME FEEL HIGH OR SOMETHING BUT CONTRACTIONS STILL HURT. BUT... I WAS NOW DILATED TO A 5! FINALLY SOME PROGRESS.
6:30 EPIDURAL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO HOO! FINALLY! GOT SPINAL IMMEDIATE RELIEF AND ALSO STANDARD LONG LASTING, SO FABULOUS!!!! GUY WAS ADORABLE TOO.
7:25 9 CENTIMETERS AND I GET TO GET READY TO PUSH SOON!!! WAITED FOR MY FRIEND TO ARRIVE. 7:30 MY 9 YEAR OLD SAID `I HOPE I DO NOT GET EMOTIONAL` HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT?
8:25 STATION 2+ AND REALLY READY - HURRY UP MARGARET - WE ARE WAITING!!!
PUSHED THROUGH ABOUT SIX CONTRACTIONS, GOT TO CATCH MY BABY AND BRING HIM TO MY CHEST. IT WAS AWESOME! HE LOVES SUCKING ON HIS THUMB AND HANDS. STARTED RIGHT AFTER HE WAS BORN. SO CUTE! HIS 9 YEAR OLD SISTER CUT THE UMBILICAL CORD AND HIS 11 YEAR OLD SISTER HELPED WITH HIS FIRST BATH. THEY WERE AMAZING!!!!
HE IS A GREAT BREASTFEEDER AND A SWEET CUDDLER. FUSSES WHEN HE CAN NOT FIND HIS FINGERS, BUT VERY VERY PRECIOUS. I AM SO IN LOVE.
I HAD SOME TEARING, BUT WHO CARES. HE IS WORTH IT AND I DON`T HAVE TO LOOK DOWN THERE ANYWAY.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE OTHERS WHO HAVE GIVEN BIRTH AND GOOD LUCK TO THE MOMMIES STILL WAITING. :o)
