My beautiful baby girl Claudia Yvette was born yesterday July 25 at 10:54pm.

I went to my 40+2 Drs appointment at 9:45am and my bp was elevated so they sent me to the hospital to be monitored. From there the on call agreed it was a good idea for induction an said there was no medical need for the baby to in there anymore. So at about 2:30pm, they began the admitting process and explained that since i was not dialated, they would give me a tablet vaginally every 4hrs to soften me. They were going to do 4 total doses and by 6am this morning I was supposed to start the pitocin. Well, my baby girl had other plans. After only my second doses of the tablet at 6:30pm yesterday, my body was thrown into full blown labor. The contractions came hard and fast! My cervix was dialated at a 4 one minute and an hr later a 6.5. At that point I asked for an epidural, and recieved it at 10:37pm. They got the loading dose in with some lidocaine and before it had a chance to take effect, I felt the baby coming. She was born only 17mins later all natural with less than 4.5 hrs of labor! The dr had no time to drop the bed and nurses had no time to insert a catheter. After she was born, the pain meds took effect lol go figure. But my baby girl is so precious and I couldn't be happier.
