Birth story
A little late, but i finally have time to sit down and tell it.
Due date was 6/26 and it was already 6/28. I wasn't going to see my ob until 2 weeks later for some reason. SIL told me told me to go to L&D and just say that i was having strong contractions so i can atleast get checked. At 11 pm I went in with that story. i did not take anything since i figured i was gonna go back home. they checked my blood pressure and it was extremely high so i was moved to a room to get induced. I was lowkey freaking out. I told my family members what was happening then The baby's dad got there.i was 1 cm when I had the pill, but it didn't do much. At 6:40 am on 6/29 i was given pitocin, contractions were starting right away everything was going good. I get checked at about 8 and i was still only 1 cm dialated. I had visitors all day hoping that baby was almost out but everytime i gor checked i was just 1 cm. At about 7 pm baby had gotten stressed so i had to have oxygen. Contractions started getting real strong to where i could no longer handle it and got an epidural. At 8 pm the nurse that saved my life came in , she had me flipping from side to side so i can dialate. At 3 am on 6/30 the doctor came in and told me she was going to check my cervix i was 4 cm dialated. I almost cried since i thought i would never even pass 1 cm. They broke my water to speed things up. I kept flipping from side to side to keep me dialating since i only had until 6:40 before they can make a decision. At 6 the doctor comes in and explains to me that they were going to extend my induction a litle longer to see if i progress if not then c section will be. At 10 am i called my nurse telling her i had to poop so bad and she didn't believe it was the sensation already. She then explains to me that if she calls the doctor to check me and im not dialated enough it will be a c section right away. I said i didn't care, so doctor comes in and checks me then smiles real big saying its time to push. I could not believe my ears.. she said she was going to let my body do tge little more work it had and shell be back . At 11 she came in got everything ready and i began to push , it felt like forever since every push i made was supposedly the last one. At 12:15 my baby boy came out and it was the best relieve ever. I caught a fever so i was shaking while i was getting stiched down. I didn't get to hold him until my fever was controlled but once i did it was the best feeling ever. All that work was worth it and i was glad i didn't give up.
