Birth Story

So I go in on November 6th at 9:30pm, I am a half an hour late. Because we got our son off the bus and he had a double ear infection so there went my evening of rest......Had to beg my way into the Dr and run around for medications and stuff. I couldn't leave until I knew he'd be alright.

I get there and within an hour or so the Resident came and put in my foley bulb.......within 2 hours it fell out which meant I was 3 cm dilated, no pain yet I couldn't rest or sleep they were checking my blood sugar every 2 hours which were good.

Come 5am on the money they started the pit, I was doing great Joe and I were laughing watching a movie etc....every hour they would come and increase it by 2mg per hour.........Dr came at 8:30 said I was a good 5cm and broke my water, I had the epidural first and then she broke the water at 9:20 at this point I am fine, know I am having contractions yet No big pain.........Until around 9:45/10:00 am I start feeling horrific pain in my lower right quadrant the baby was always sitting in that spot. I had never pushed the button on the epidural so I figured I 'd push it and be out of pain right? WRONG....The pain wouldn't stop, it wouldn't go away I am dying at this point begging the nurse to get that anesthesiologist back, she came and gave me something else in that bag, I am outta pain? WRONG again......It just intensifies I am moaning at this point it is like 11:30 and I am suffering BIG TIME. I never knew what labor pains were til this third baby. Contractions were not coming all around the uterus, they were isolated in that lower right area. I didn't know how long I had to go but I thought HOW am I going to go on? Could it be hours? I couldn't bare the pain, I was holding on for dear life. I was saturated my hair, my gown and I was yelling....Ow, ow etc....My husband had rags on my head, I was thinking I was going to die etc.....Then all of a sudden the nurse started breaking down the bed, she checked me and said you are fully but there is a little lip on the cervix left,,,,,,we'll sit you up some so the head can open that up. Nobody is really telling me I am at the end and we'll push at this point, here comes the dr, she's gowning up and donning gloves etc....I said to myself I guess this is it, It is about 11:45 at this point. All I am thinking is HOW AM I GOING TO PUSH? So they tell me to grab my legs I said I can't, so they thought I couldn't cause the epi made me numb.......NO it was because I was dying in pain..........I just gave it a push and felt like nothing, Pushed a second time and felt like I couldn't do it.......I said "can't you just pull her out?" Dr. said No you'll have to push ...... So on the third push I made three lil pushes and holding her in place I gave it everything I got and bam she flew right out............whew was I beat. Dr. said oh she's perfect.
