I went into the hospital at 8am. I was given an IV for fluids and Pitocin to jump start labor. Yesterday when I went to the doctor I was only dilated to 3cm and at 0 station. Pitocin was started at 10 and from then until 12 I
felt NO contractions at all, my doctor came in at the point to check me
and I hadn't progressed at all so he broke my water. At which
point I felt EVERYTHING. I was trying to go natural but around 3 I
couldn't take the pain anymore and my body had only progressed to
5cm so I got IV meds for pain, which relaxed me enough to dilate to 7cm
at which point I was crying for and epidural. I got one it
didn't work so I had to get another. At which point I went to
sleep only to be woken up 10minutes later to push I was at 10cm. I
pushed for a total of two hours just to get her head out and 1 push to
get the rest of her body out. I couldn't feel my legs and pushing
was the worse part for me. I don't know if it was because of how
she was positioned but every time I pushed I had this unbearable pain
which made it so uncomfortable to push. I was worried. When her
head did finally come out her cord was wrapped around her head and she
wasn't crying. But the cries that came soon after were
breathtakingly amazing. She was born at 7:31pm on Friday, December 14Th,
2012, weighing 6lb 4oz 19in long with the most amazing cone head ever. My support system was great and very encouraging.
My SO and sister helped me to get throw every contraction. My Princess is now here after what seems like forever.
