Birth story:
Well i went in for my scheduled induction at 0730 in the morning on 5/26/09. My doctor went in and checked me and i was 1 cm dialated and 30% effaced. He decided not to put in the cervidil to soften my cervix since i was already having very mild contractions and just start me on pitocin. By 1200 i was 4 cm dialated and at that time decided to get the epidural, not because i was in alot of pain because i was having just some discomfort, but because i kinda knew it was going to be a long day. So they did my epidural and the rest was just a waiting game. I had 0 pain for the rest of the time plus i could still kind of feel and move my legs. It was great because they would go in there and do i all kinds of things down in my vajajay and i would feel nothing. I know i would have been screaming in pain without any pain relieve. So at around 6 pm doctor went in and checked me again and suprise! i was still dialated at 4cm! I was so frustrated and felt like crying because i knew and they told me they might have to do a c-section if they didn't get me to dialate, plus the babys heart rate was occasionally going down way to low with some contractions. So they waited things out and kept on going in and checking me and then at around 830 i was 5cm and doctor putme in a weird position he called the pretzel position and an hour and a half later i felt some pressure down there but wanted to wait to tell the nurse because i was so scared that they were going to check me and be like, "nope your still at 5cm" or something so when a random nurse went in there trying to help my nurse do something i told her that i was feeling some pressure and didn't know if that meant anything or not. She said she would tell my nurse and 20 minutes later my nurse and one of the residents walk in there and the resident checks me and she's like oh your 10cm already and -3 station, so doctor walks in there like 5 minutes later and they set everything up and i pushed for like 15 minutes and once again felt 0 pain throughout all of this, and out came my little bundle of joy. He had great great lungs. He cried and cried. and they let me feed him 1 oz. and my poor son must have been as starving as i was since we hadn't been able to eat anything all day that he finished the oz. in like 5 minutes and kept on crying after i took the bottle away because they wouldn't let me feed him more than that. He was crying for most of the night and the next day because he would startle himself awake every 10 minutes. The poor thing must have been traumatized from being in all that stress of labor. I felt so bad. He is doing so much better now though and sleeping so much better. I love him so much and it just makes me want to cry just to think that i have to go back to work in 6 weeks and i don't know who is going to take care of him or how they are going to treat him. I want to take him under my wings and protect him from all the bad things and bad people in this world. I just love him so much and i'm so glad he is here and he is healthy.
