My longish birth story
On 4/12 I had a regular appointment but had a higher blood pressure. I was 37w4d. Was told to come back on 4/15 to get it checked again. Next thing I know at 7 pm that night I was admitted to start my induction. They started me on something to thin out my cervix. The next day 4/16 I got a balloon inserted to help me dilate well that worked within about 30 minutes the ballon had cause me so much pain I was puking. I started to bleed a little from down there. I knew something was weird. So they checked me and the ballon just slid right out so they amp up the patocin and I try to sleep. I woke up to horrible contractions so they gave me fetenoyl. The next day 4/17 I work through my pain until I can’t. So I cave and get the epidural. After that I slept for at least 4 hours straight. She came in and checked me and I was about 4cm that’s when she broke my water. That started the more regular contractions. Then I was awoken to my left side feeling everything while my right felt nothing. They told me to roll and see if gravity will help we’ll it kinda did it’s now about 7 pm and I am having some serious contractions I breath through then until like 8:45 when they only thing that helped the pain was to push so the doctor comes in and says well yup you’re ready to push!! So I start pushing and about 20 minutes in they lost his heart beat. They then get a mask on me and roll me to my side at this point I am full on screaming with my pushes. They then find his heart beat again and I push out my little bundle of joy at 9:32 pm weighting 6lb 15oz.
