Let's start on Sunday September 18th I broke my leg ( two breaks in the tibia one break in the fibula and it did break the skin ) and had to have surgery where they put a rod into my leg.  Everything with baby was looking great as when I fell I landed on my butt.  After spending Sunday night in L&D to be monitored I was sent down Monday evening to Ortho recovery.  After about 5 hours in that room I started getting contractions about 4 minutes apart and was taken back up to L&D.  Contractions eventually stopped as I had not dilated anymore than I already was.  Wednesday evening I was sent down to the Heart floor as my pulse this entire time was ranging from 112-152 bpm.  While there contractions started again but were only 8 minutes apart so they had me stay there and they would then come and check on me.  I was monitored and tested there until Thursday ( for my pulse) when I was finally released to go home at about 4:30pm. Thursday evening I has random BH throughout the evening.  This morning at 10:21 am my water broke and I began contracting every 4 minutes.  After about half and hour they started coming every 2-3 minutes.  So we loaded me into the car and check into L&D at 11:45.  Due to a blood thinner shot and a norco I had taken for my leg at 10am I was allowed no pain medication during labor unless I made it until 10pm.  When checked at arrival I was at 3cm 80% (11:45 am).  By 1:30 pm I was at 6cm.  At 2:30 I was at 8cm.  At around 3:00pm I was fully dialed but baby's head was kind of stuck after 48 minutes of pushing baby Oliver arrived at 3:48pm.  In total I was only in labor for 5 hours and 27 minutes.  Everyone was shocked as I am a FTM and I had done all this with no pain management, a broken leg that couldn't bend.
