My water broke at 6:45pm on October 7th, 2015. She was only 35 weeks and 4 days. Labor did not progress naturally so I was given pitocin. After 36 hours of grueling labor, I had only dilated to a 6. I chose to have an epidural at this point. All went much better until it was time to push. She was posterior and her head was at an angle. Finally, after 43 hours, Stella Therese was born at 2:58pm on October 9th, 2015. We are all so glad to be done and healthy!
