My son <3 (long story)
My pregnancy was completely miserable. I was sick the ENTIRE time.
But my labor and birth was pretty amazing.
At 11am June 5th,2013, my boyfriend and I were laying in bed. I looked at him and said "he's coming out today whether he wants to or not. So we're gonna do it.." I basically raped my boyfriend to induce labor. Shortly after, I started having contractions 7 min apart. I didnt think much of it but after a few contractions it was getting worse. Stronger and more frequent. My boyfriend was sleeping the entire time. I timed my contractions for an hour at 4 min apart (relatively consistant). My boyfriend wasnt convinced because I had been in the hospital a few times previous to this. I got to the hospital at 4pm. Tried to suffer through the pain but after 2hrs I gave in. 6pm I reluctantly had the epidural. (Needle phobia). I was stuck at 3cm for forever, they added pitocin (sp?) And gave me an antibiotic for Group B Strep. At 10pm his heart stopped, it seemed like every nurse in the building rushed into my room. I didnt know what was going on, they put the oxygen mask on me and rolled me to my left side. His heart started beating again! At 11pm I started pushing. It only took 40 minutes! My boyfriend held one leg and a nurse held the other. My beautiful baby boy was born at 11:40pm, June 5th 2013, on his due date. I was stuck in the hospital for 4 days afterward due to him not eating well & because they wanted to make sure the Group B Strep didnt affect him.
