My Birth Story

Melody

It's been almost 3 months since I gave birth to my beautiful daughter and I have not written my broth story but HERE I GO.

So it all started May 1st when my hubby and I decided to book a room at a casino. While staying at the room, I started having uncomfortable and annoying pain but it wasn't getting any worse so we stayed there and waited until next day. In the morning, I started having more intense pain so we go to labor and delivery and get put in triage where I spent 3 hours of my life just to get sent back home with no centimeters and no dilation. Wednesday at 2 am I wake up to intense pain and see blood and mucous like discharge when I cleaned myself so we head to labor and delivery again. Got put in triage again only to be told that I was only half centimeter and no dilation. My contractions were killing me and felt like I couldn't handle it anymore. They monitored me for 8 hours and send me home and 10 AM. I get home and my contractions got worse !

I tried dancing through my contractions (ACTUALLY HELPED A LOT !) and laid down every time they left. In one contraction I got up to dance it off and WOOSH! MY WATER BREAKS ! I freaked out! I took the quickest shower in my whole entire life and got dressed. On our way to the hospital I felt like I was living the last moments of my life (HEY, IT WAS PAINFUL!) I vomited the only thing I had eaten that day and got to the hospital covered in vomit. There a couple that was getting induced were nice enough to open the doors for me and left me go first. I get on the elevator (by myself) and press the 2nd floor button but it wouldn't move so I press the "open door" button and it didn't open either. I was dying inside the elevator. My service was down and I didn't know there was a phone in there so I was freaking out. I pressed the bell button with the hope that someone will hear it and help me out. I checked my phone again and call 911 and told them I was about to give birth stuck inside an elevator! They call the hospital and they pull the elevator up. When I get there, they decide they will put me in triage AGAIN. I was feeling so miserable. I told them my water broke and they took like 15 minutes testing if it was true or not. Turns out that It was really my water ! WOW so amazing ! 🙄 they move me into the room where I'd be delivering 30 minutes later ! when I get on the bed I told them I felt the urge to push, but before that I had asked for an epidural which was offered to me when I had already felt the need to push. It was crazy. When I start pushing, the midwife didn't even have her gloves on so she tells my not to push but I couldn't hold it in any longer and pushed (she managed to put her gloves on before the baby came out) lol

And then finally on the next push my baby MARJORIE EVA was born at 7:59 PM weighting 7lbs 5oz. 💗💞
