Elliott's birthing story

Wednesday I went in to my 38 week OB appointment. Doctor said I would have him within a week. Later on that same at 6:45 pm-ish I leaked amniotic fluid. So my SO and I went to the hospital to get checked out. At 9pm (full house) they confirmed that I indeed ruptured my water. They put me on an IV. But since I was a 2cm they gave me petocin to help get my contractions regular. Yesterday at 10am doctor went ahead and broke the rest of my water. In a few hours I went to a 2 to a 5. And then a 5-7 in two more hours. But then I just stopped progressing in dilation. That and Elliott was coming down in an awkward position. I was a 7 for four hours and been in labor for 28 hours when my doctor suggested c-section and I took it. I was in too much pain even after the epidural. Surgery lasted about 30 minutes and recover was about an hour and a half. Elliott was born 11/3/16 at 10:12pm weighing at 5lbs and 08oz and is 18 3/4 inches long. Despite his weight the pediatrician said he's the healthiest and strongest baby he's seen.
