Duration of labor: 9hrs
Weight @ birth: 8lbs 7.6oz
Length @ birth: 20 inches

On Friday September 12th, I went for my weekly non-stress test. My blood pressure was 160/97. They were a bit concerned, an actual doctor came in and told me she was sending me down to get an ultrasound, and that there was a possibility that I'd be induced. So I went for the ultrasound and the baby wouldn't move, so I falied the test, they sent me back upstairs and they told me I wasn't going home. I was admitted around noon. They checked me before they started anything and I was 2-3 centimeters and 80% at 3:00, then they hooked up the pitocin, which is horrible and just kept cranking it up. She also broke my water, which was awkward, and then the contractions kept getting worse, then I remember them checking me again and I was 5 centimeters, around 5:30, then all of a sudden at around 10:30 I was 9-10 and they started having me push, I pushed for 1hour and 40 minutes, that was draining. and at 12:10a.m. I had my little girl. Everyone was very suprised on how great I did. My husband keeps saying "hunnie you did awesome", I didn't complain or stop pushing once. Apparently my right side of my cervix wasn't completely thinned out which made it hard for me to push her out, but we eventually got there, with my episitiomy and all, but now I have my beautiful baby girl to love and hug and kiss. That's pretty much it.

Amelia-Grace-`s birthstory

Well it all started on Monday April 19th, I thought I lost part of my plug, later that day I went to the bathroom and more came out, but this time with blood. I called the hospital the doctor there told me to come in and get checked out. So we went around 7pm..I got checked at 9pm and I was 4cm and 90% effaced. The doctor said ` so are you ready to have this baby? Do you want me to break your water?...We decided that we wanted to wait and see if anything would happen on it`s own, since I had an appointment the next day. So by the time we got out of there it was close to 11pm..at that point I was getting pretty strong contractions. So we got food on the way home and I took a shower, at this point they were coming every 5 minutes for an hour and a half, so around 12:45am, we headed back to the hosptial. They got me in a room at 1am, I was checked and I was 6cm and he broke my water, Omg..I forgot how bad it hurt to have a baby lol.. So around 3am they checked me again..cause I was saying I felt like I had to push bad, I was fully dialated and pushed for about 10-15 minutes and she was born at 3:27am on Tuesday April 20, 2010. She is beautiful..I love her soo much. She weighed 8lbs 12oz and was 21 inches long. All in all, it went pretty quick..I didn`t have to have pitocin till after I had her..to get my placenta out. I also tore over my old scar from the first time where they cut me. But it`s healing up. I think I was in early labor all day, the worst was from 11pm till 3:27am when I had her. I`m really suprised I was a 6..and I didn`t have any pain relief at all ..I`m proud of myself =))
