My Serenity

Tamika
I was due 2-26-17 all through my pregnancy i was horribly nauseous. I had been hospitalized several times. I couldnt keep ANYTHING down. It was horrible. I was scheduled to be induced 2/20/17 when i got there i was sent back home due to pregnancies with higher risks. I stormed out of my doctors office telling them they would not see me again until i deliver. My dr told me to schedule my next appt which made me feel like i would be pregnant forever. I came to my next appt 3/1 still 1 cm dialated with an unfavorable cervix, smh. She scheduled me to be induced at 7pm that day. When i csme back to the hospital the doctors kept telling me they think i should wait and try to let labor start on it's own. I was definitely not trying to hear that. Soooo they said they would attempt to ripen my cervix to get labor to start but they were thinking i would be oh labor for more than 24 hours. Well they hooked me up to the monitors and an hour later they put a very small pill pin my cervix. I thought in my head that little dot will not do anything. I knew i would be going home....... Well that little pill started contractions right away. They progressively got stronger. (The pill was placed at 9pm) i was screaming in agony from the contractions because they were so strong when they checked me i was only 2 and a half cm ave cervix still hard. I was in Sri much pain. I started vomiting, my mouth got so dry, i felt horrible. I began tho think maybe i should've waited. They gave me something in my iv that was supposed to make me sleepy, but the pain was to intense. I tryed to get comfortable but my water popped lijed a balloon and there was meconium, they tpld me tgat pediatricians would need to be in the room when i givr birth. I was scared and was still on so much pain. I called for an epidural. While the anesthesiologist was trying to do the epidural i couldnt bare the pain. She told me the epidural was in and i should be feeling relief and i didnt. I was screaming. Doctors checked me i was only 5cm they said still a while to go. They began to try and reinsert epidural but i started telling them i had to use the bathroom. My nurses were yelling telling me not to push but i could feel the strongest urge to push she kept saying youre not ready yet. I remember hearing the anesthesiologist saying she has to do it without the epidural they called code something and i just heard footsteps running into my room. I kept saying let me go to the bathroom and they were yelling no and i pushed and pushed her head was out and soon i had given birth to my 7lb15oz. Baby girl Serenity Ky'Rie she is baby #4 and the last. When i look at her i feel like she was worth all the pain and wouldnt change anything about her delivery.
