Baby Eden was due on February 4th, her due date came and went and my doctor then set an induction date for valentines day! Monday the 13th I woke up to my water breaking, after a few hours we made our way to the hospital. Since labor wasn't progressing I was started on pitocin and labored for 5 hours before getting my epidural after finding out I had only progressed 2cm. After 11 hours of laboring with an epidural I was fully dilated! My doctor turned off my epidural before pushing so I could feel the contractions (Ouch)! I pushed for 4 long hours and baby girl still wasn't making her way out. My doctor then tried to assist with suction and we had no luck- so I ended up with a C-Section. Eden was born at 8:49AM weighing 8 pounds 11oz and 22 inches long! Although her delivery was not ideal and kind of traumatizing, we have our girl and she is so healthy and loved :) 

Recovery now is a bit rough for me. I have a spinal headache from the spinal tap I had to get before my cesarean, stitches for a 2nd degree tear from pushing, and a c-section incision. Of all of those, the spinal headache is by far the most painful thing. I cant stand up for more than a minute at a time, the pain is excruciating! I'm thankful to have my husband since he has been doing pretty much everything! I pray this pain goes away soon so I can be more active with our girl! As a first time mom, my birth experience honestly wasnt great at all, but GOSH was our baby worth it! I would do it over and over again for her :)
