Birth Story

Well I can't remember everything but what I do remember I will write. On Tuesday night, I finally went to the hospital after having strong pressure in my lower abdomen for the whole day. I didnt think it as going to be labor because my water had not broken yet and I didnt feel constant contractions. We went to the hospital and they checked my cervix and I was only 1-2 centimeters dialated. Then they hooked me up to monitor me in order to see if I was having contractions. The nurse came back to my room and asked me If I was feeling those contractions. I told her I got the urge to pee and she said that thats what they felt like in the beginning. So they started an IV with fluids and she said tat if the fluids stopped the contractions, it was false labor, well it didn't, sure enogh they kept on going and they got worse and longer. They checked my cervix again and this time they told me I was 2-3 but 100% effaced! They gave me the option of going to the hospital where I was registered to deliver at and I decided to go. We left at about 4 in the morning and at 7:30a.m they told me I was being admitted into the hospital and that I was at 4cm. I was having contractions and then I cant remember that much. They cheked me again and I was still at 4cm so they had to break my water!!! They lied telling me it wouldn't hurt, it hurt soooooo much!!! I know I finally got the epidural and it was painless! I felt like I wanted to go to sleep but I started to itch, they said that the epidural did that. It was so uncomfortable. My husband said that the epidural pump said the word STOPPED almost the whole time! So when the nurse asked if I wanted more, she said why is this turned off? I dont remember that, my husband does lol. At about 7cm I could feel everything again! That epidural to me didn't last long. They said the head was soo low, it was lowering faster than the cervix could dialate! My husband helped me push for a couple of times then the nurse had the doc come in and we started hehe. It hurt soooooo bad!!! Finally after like 12 pushes, he was out!!! Our beautiful baby boy! It was awesome, I was crying!! My husband cut the cord of course and we were so happy, our new family! So a vaginal delivery for me, thank god!
