My story

Here's my birth story. Being induced was definitely not as bad as I thought it would be. I went in at 6 a.m. on 7.29.16. (9 days ocer due) Got hooked up to the IV at 7. She started my oxytocin at 8. I didn't even feel the contractions. Then she came in around 9 and upped the dose. Then I could feel them but they weren't painful. She upped it again a little later and they started to hurt but I was breathing through them. She upped it again and then the pain became worse. I got the epidural at 12. I became nauseous so she gave me some nausea medicine through my IV. Unfortunately she gave me way too much for my body weight (my doctor was not happy about that) so I became so out of it that I couldn't even open my eyes. I kept trying but it was so painful to open them. I was shaking like crazy and crying because I couldn't stay awake. I was scared I wouldn't be able to stay awake to push when she came in and I was at a 10. I started praying to God to help me. Of course He came through. I became nauseous again and threw up. That woke me up. I felt so much pressure (not painful) but she said i couldn't push because my doctor wasn't there yet. The pressure was so intense she kept saying don't push don't push but it wasn't me pushing it was my body. Then she said okay he's coming so she called my doctor and she was already on her way (her office is upstairs at the same hospital) she came in and put everything on. I asked for a mirror and they found one. She said i could start pushing when I'm ready so I started pushing. I could see his little head and could see his hair. I waited for a little bit til I felt my body was ready to start pushing again and I pushed again. His head came out. She told me to quit pushing. She suction his mouth and nose and it looked like she unwrapped the cord from and around his head. She said i could push again and I did. His body came out with that one push and it was the most amazing/weird feeling. They laid him on my chest and cleaned him. My husband cut the cord and they took him and weighed him. I delivered the placenta and then that was that. It was great except for the nausea medicine which I will never get again. I'm sore right now. My back hurts pretty bad but they gave me pain medicine. I didn't tear so I don't have pain "down there". He weighed 8.2 oz 20.5 in long. I couldn't be more in love. His big brother is being so amazing. My heart is just so full.
