Birth story experience

Mandy • Mommy to Athena, Anderson 😘❤💙 Wife to Isaac 💘💟 my life is so complete!

So I finally have a birth story. I went in for induction yesterday afternoon and every thing was going smooth they put the Foley balloon in which was very uncomfortable but I got through it. So contractions started to come along maybe within a couple hours and they gave me some pain meds which works for like a hour so I wanted to the epidural so I could get a good rest. Well the anestegeologist comes in and just naturally I got real nervous tense about getting it. It just happens so I had to stay very calm I was crying cause I was so tense that it hurt obviously and I got to the point where I just took it tried so hard to stay calm she got it in and everything was good I just needed to get through that 😌 so I'm waiting for my contractions to stop which they dont for like 30 min turns out she didnt press start on the machine and was like oh sorry 😒 so obviously it wasnt in right cause my pain was so intense like I habe never felt this intense with contractions I swear I wanted to cry! So she pokes me again and at that point I was like just give it to me! Cause every 2 min I was getting contractions. Well it ended up helping but then wearing off 😩 turns out inwas 10 cm dilated but my balloon didnt fall out my water didnt break nothing. So then omg they coupd only give me so much medication and didn't want me pressing the button very much either they wanted me to feel like enough pressure to push. I was like oh common I feel the contractions like I dont understand why I had to wait every 15 min to press the button something was right cause I felt everything! The nurse wanted me to turn on my side while I had all this pressure and contractions 😩 she didn't care that I was in horrible pain then she wanted me to push every contraction I felt which you can bet that hurt like a bitch! I was crying whining everything but she was like common you can push harder than that your not pushing hard enough 😠 she did not get my pain! Well before you know it delivery is happening and I felt everything! I felt the burning sensation pushing my baby out and I was screaming! Like I swear I kept saying sorry for being that way but omg I had a horrible traumatic birth it was so horrible I couldn't believe I pushed feeling that.

Anyways

Anderson Isaac Peña came into our world on 1/21/20 weighing 7lbs and 4oz 😊 he's the cutest he was so worth it but I pray nobody goes through this. And I hope ill never have to have a traumatic birth happen ever again in my life!
