Hi Everyone, I'm finally getting around to updating my profile, I know it has taken me FOREVER!!!! I've been a member of this site since I was 22 weeks prego with my son Anthony Scott. Jr AKA A.J or Jr and have been a active member (except for the past few months that I didnt have internet) I'm 29 and A.J is and will be my only son, He is 18 months old and is a real joy.

I've posted old entries and will be posting all other updates in blogs so if you want to see what's going on with us you can check those out, also you can check out AJ's own personal page by clicking on the childrens tab, it has some old updates on him and a few videos. Everyone take care!

My Labor Story

My due date had came and went. I remember walking past his bassinett and thinking 'he should be in there' then I started crying because I wanted to hold him so bad. Scott had called and asked what was wrong with me. I said ' I want my baby!' He said 'you have him he's just in your belly' I was like 'I know but I want to hold him' so any of you ladies that are going through being overdue I definatly get what you are going through, it's hell!

I was overdue by 4 days and set to be induced on the 26th of April. On the 25th I woke up at about 4 in the morning with horible back pain that wouldnt subside.I tossed and turned but I couldnt get comfortable. I got up and watched the Greys Anatomy episode that I had missed from the previous week. Scott got up and took me to my mom's for her to take me to my doc appointment because we didnt think it was a good idea for me to be driving. I remember sitting in my Dad's chair and I just kept moving around because no matter what position I was in my back felt like it was on fire.

I went in for my doctors appointment so she could scrape my membranes because I had only been dialated to a one for a week. My mom went with me. My doc checked me and said she was going to bring me in for the induction the next day at noon to start cervadil. I was really excited because I thought it was going to be later in the evening when she was going to bring me in. When she scrapped my membranes it kinda hurt, like a menstrul cramp but it had nothing on this crappy back ache, which my doc said was actually helping me to efface. I was getting dressed and my doc came back and told me that since my blood pressure was elevated she was going to check it again and if it was still elevated she was going to go ahead and send me over to L&D. I looked at my mom and said 'I gotta call Scott', she told me to wait till the doc came back and told me the result, and not to freak Scott out just yet. Well, Scott must have felt his ears burning because at that second my cell rang. I told him what was going on. He said ' I had a feeling!' I told him that it wasent definate yet, that she had to check my blood pressure again before she sent me over. I hung up with him and the nurse came in and checked it again. It was still elevated so I called him back and told him to meet me at the house so we could get my bag.
My mom took me home and my husband met me there. He turned the wrong way twice just trying to get home. By the time we left I had started having some mild contractions already from my doc scraping my membranes. We got to the hospital and they checked me in immediatly and hooked me up to a moniter and found I was having some pretty bad back labor and was firing off contractions pretty quick. It hurt me so bad I ended up filling up 3 barf bags ( sorry if tmi). They started me on the cervadil because I still was only dialated to a 1 and gave me some pain medication. At one point I felt I had to pee and the nurses asked me if I felt I could get up or if I needed my bladder drained by them. At this point my husbands cousin was in with me .I told them yes to drain it and my husband left the room. It felt like someone stabbed me in my vagina and I screamed like crazy. When my mom came back in I told her that no matter what to please help me to the bathroom if I had to go because I couldnt handle that again. The next day my doc came in and checked me and I was still only dialated to a one so she started me on pitocin. I was having really hard contractions but nothing was happening. They ended up having to attach a internal moniter to the baby's head because they kept losing him on the other moniter. When they attached the moniter my water broke all over the place. I never realized there was so much water when that happened. My nurse came back in after a bit and told me I was dialated to a 2 and I could have a epidural if I wanted to try to relax my cervix so I would dialate I said ok. The anestesiologist came in and seriously it wasent that bad. The first one he put in clotted up on him so he had to redo it but after that I felt great, just uncomfortable with the pain. Around 6 that night my doc called and told me the epi wasent doing any good and the baby was getting stressed so she really felt a c-section would be in my best interest. I agreed to it.
They took me into the surgery area, and my mom went with me because my husband truely couldnt have handled it. The anestesiologist asked me if after it was over if I wanted to be put under. I was really scared and said yes. My doc made sure I couldnt feel anything except a little pulling and tugging and got started. I felt a cut on my right side and screamed and grabbed my mom's arm. I felt them pulling hard and tugging and I started crying telling my mom to talk to me about anything. The pulling was SOOO HARD. I was crying and screaming 'please god, please, I cant do this'. My mom told me she could see his hand but the pulling still continued. I asked ' tell me he's ok, please say he's ok' and my mom did and then I heard him cry. About that time I went under. Turns out the baby was stuck in my pelvis with his arm over his head and his feet and legs were stuck up in my ribs. It took two people to pull him out. My doctor said it was the most difficult c-section she had ever preformed.
When I came out of recovery my husband was there waiting and said he could hear me screaming earlier and he nearly came through the doors. They rolled me past the nursery and I got to see my son and I cried. Then they took me to my room and I was still the first to hold him. He's perfect, we are doing great and I'm recovering quickly. I refused to just lay around. I know my story may sound scary, but my son was definatly worth it.
