Aydan`s birthstory

Monday May 12, 2008 at 7pm I started to have contractions at about 9:30pm we went in to the hospital because they were 2 to 5 mins apart. We ended up having to walk for an hour where I had a change in my dilation. Once we addmitted to the hospital I decided I wanted to try to walk again. We didn`t get very far and it felt like I was getting wet. They checked me and my water hadn`t broke yet but with in 15 mins I had a hard contraction and it broke. Once my water broke the contractions were through the roof, they were actually going off of their monitor. I told them I wanted an epidural and it took 2 hrs before they were able to get to me. Once I got it, it was great. I will always have an epidural when in labor for now on. I went from 4cm to 7cm in 1 hr after the epidural. I ended up stopping at around 7cm to 8cm for a few hours and when my doctor came in at 7 he had ordered pitosen (sp?) but then checked me and I was at 9cm they started the pitosen to get my contractions close because they started to get futher apart. I was at 10 cm in no time but Aydan was still up high. They did what is called laboring down where I sat up in the bed and let gravity help with bringing him down. After an hour of that I was ready to push. It took about 20 mins of pushing and he was out and another good thing is I didn`t tear at all either so the recovery will be easier.
