Birth Story

I woke up monday morning with mild cramping but didn`t really think much of it ( had a lot of cramping and BH crantractions in the past 2 weeks) and the day went on I started to have quite regular contractions but still wasn`t really sure if this was it cuz i was in much pain just disconfort. By around 5 i noticed the contractions really starting to hurt when i was standing.... so i tried pacing around and going for little walks to speed things up. By 6 we relized that i was contracting about every 3 mins so thought well maybe i should go get checked out, but i was sure i would be sent home!!! When we got there I was only 2 cm, and they told me i could go home if i would be more comfortable there..... but I was`t wasn`t... every contrations came on stronger and faster... but it seemed like the nurses all thought i was nutts and just let me sit there wimpering.... I fel like such a baby.... by 9 ish (don`t remeber the timings much) I was crying with pain and started to dry heave like crazy... that really kick things into gear the and they decided to check me again i was now 3-4 cm and the nurse ended breaking my water when she did so... and thats when we discover that the baby had passed meconium and the doc was really worried seeing as i was only 38 weeks... so he said he was not leaving until the baby born.... thats when i got the epidural..... thank GOD it rocked!!! but shortly there after the babies heart rate started droping with every contractions so the doc decided that was it and it was time to get the baby out NOW!!! so within half an hour i was downstairs getting a c section... it was really scary just cuz there was sooooooo many doctors there just waiting to attend to the baby in distress and my ob looked prettty nervous himself......but at 11 38 he was finally here!!! he was crying before they even got him all the way outta me!!! it was the most amazing experience EVER!!!! it all happened sooooooooo fast and now my bundle of joy is here!!! i`m loving every minute of it :)
