Birth Story

Andres Sebastian Pineda

6lbs 8 oz 20 inches long

December 31st 2007

On Sunday I made myself one of those famous CO Milk Shakes. 1 hour after taking it I threw everything up. Around midnight I woke up with contractions they were 5 minutes apart. The contractions lasted until 3am. I went back to sleep. Around 5am DH wakes up to get ready for work. I felt myself wet, I thought I peed on myself. I checked my pants and I had a lot of clear, liquid, discharge. DH and I dropped my DS off my moms house and arrived at the hospital at 7am. My contractions were very irregular, I was 3 cm 50% enface. The nurse check me around 10am and there was no change. I was started on pitocin. I was getting contractions however the monitor was not picking them up. Around 2pm she came in to check me again and I was still the same. The doctor came in at 2:30 I was barely 4cm he then decided to insert a monitor vaginally and rupture the rest of my water bag. Once the Doctor ruptures my water bag the contractions started coming every 2 minutes. I got the epi around 3pm but, it was too late when I got it. The Epi didn't help to take the pain away. The nurse check me around 3:30 and I was at 8cm. Then she checked me again at 4:20 and I was at 10 cm. She had me push and Andres was on his way out. She had me stop and screamed out the door twice for someone to get the Doctor. Doctor gets there and with 3 pushes Andres was born at 4:37. I had a wonderful deliver no tearing or hemorrhoids.
