December 31st 2007: BIRTH STORY

Well my little Angel made her appearance on Christmas Day 2 days after her due date. On Saturday morning (22nd) i woke up to go to the washroom. When i looked into the toilet i noticed that I had lost my mucous plug. I was so excited, finally some sign that she was planning to be born after all. I went back to bed and woke up about an hour later with period like cramps. They were irritating but not painful so i got up thinking changing my position would make a difference. I walked around drank some water but nothingchanged. So i sat up and watched tv and as the morning progressed they got progressively worse. I began to realise that i was probably in early labour and started timing my contractions. They were regular but not 5 minutes apart so i put everybody on standby and we all hang around waiting it out. By saturday night they contractions were extremely painful but were still only 15 mintes apart. I eventually wento to bed but didnt sleep well because the pain kept waking me up. By Sunday it was practically unbearable and i was in tears but still they were not close enough. I called my midwife anyway and she came to check on me. I was not even half a centimetre dilated and my cervix was still long and thick. Shechecked my contractions on a monitor and told me they were extremely strong but not doing anything. She said i needed some rest and that might help so she gave me a shot of gravol to give me some rest. It made me extremely sleepy and so i would wake up for every contraction but as soon as it was over i would fall asleep again. By the time it ran out 6 hours later i was in such agony and was throwing up so much. My boyfriend called my midwife again and she said to meet at the hospital so all of us ( siblings, mum and boyfriend) jumped into the cars and drove to the hospital. During the car ride i was in such agony that i bit my lip till it was bleeding. I was banging my fist so hard against the car door that i still have bruises. By this time i had already been in labour for over 24 hours. We got to the hospital and themidwife checked me and i was only 1 cm dilated. I was so frustrated all that pain and so little progress. She decided to admit me anyway because i needed antibiotics so the admitted me and we all went to my room. I was hooked up to an IV for fluids cause all the vomitting had left me dehydrated. 5 hours later as i was lying in the bed crying on my boyfriends chest and feeling such intense pains my water suddenly broke and thats when i thought i was going to die. Suddenly my contractions were coming every 3 minutes, then every 2 minutes and then every minute. They were hard and strong and unbearable they asked if i wanted an epidural and i said no despite the temptation, it wasnt what i wanted. This was now early tuesday morning and i was convinced i was gonna die. When they checked me again ( as they had been doing every hour) i was now stalled at 7 cm so they decided to start pitocin. They started the pitocin and that made my contractions even more painful. It felt like someone was ripping me open from the inside. It was like being in a horror movie. The epidural was so tempting i was screaming and crying and grabbing anything in sight. I slowly started to progress and then suddenly there was a rush of people in my room from the nurses station they noticed that my babies heartbeat was deccelarating. She needed to be out right now one way or another. They checked me and i was now almost 10cm. They told me we were going to start pushing by pushing past the last bit of cervix. This was 1:30 pm. I pushed and eventually all the cevix was cleared. Now i had to push for the baby. They discovered that she had turned with her face looking up to the sky instead of down to the ground. They said i would have to push super hard. I pushed for an hour and was so tired i couldnt do it anymore. Then i heard someone mention emergency c section and that terrified me. I grabbed my own legs and told them i am pushing. They grabbed my legs for me and i bore down so hard and pushed with everything i had left in me and all the love i had for my daughter and in that one push she was out. My pushing and labour had been so traumatic that i tore so badly and needed many stitches. I still can only sit on a pillow right now cause of the pain. At 3:06 on christmas day my angel was born and i know it sounds cliche but she was worth every single second of everything i went through. I love her with every fibre of my beingand i am so blessed that she is mine. Her daddy thinks she is the most perfect creation and cant get enough of her. Finally our family is complete.
