Not exactly what I had planned.
Membranes were stripped at 38 week appointment Monday morning. I was dilated to 4cm. Contractions started almost immediately(around 11:30am). We came to the hospital at 1 and I hadn't dilated anymore than I was at my appointment that morning so we were released to walk for an hour around 2. We walked to jimmy johns and the nurse had told Tony I shouldn't eat. I did anyways because I was hungry. As we were about to leave I decided to use the bathroom and my water broke around 2:45. Tony bribed a delivery driver $20 to take us back to the hospital. My contractions became very strong. Worse pain I've ever felt in my life. I immediately changed my mind about having an epidural. I threw all of the jimmy johns snacks I had up. As soon as they got the spinal block they checked me again and I was dilated to an 8 or 9. This was around 3:45pm. They realized that he was breech and I was rushed to a surgical suite for an emergency cesarean. Rachel got to come into the room as a student and assist while tony sat next to
Me and held my hand. Max's heart rate be an to decline and he was born at 4:57pm. He weighed 6lbs 3.6oz and was 18 inches long. He has been doing great since. He's been a very sleepy boy. :)
