Worst labor I could imagine but baby is born❤️

Went to my check up with my midwife the day after my due date. I was having regular contractions 4 minutes apart all night before.I was at a 3 and right after she got done checking, my water broke on the exam table! My boyfriend and I drove to the hospital and got admitted at 11:30 AM. My contractions got stronger and closer but we’re pretty irregular up until 4 pm. I decided to get my epidural at 5 pm when I was dilated to a 6. The anesthesiologist has to try 6 or 7 times to get it in and on his last attempt, an hour later he got it to where it needed to be. It was so painful I was crying so hard and had never felt a worse pain in my life! Within 3 minutes my whole body from my boobs down were numb I couldn’t move anything it was insane. I got started on pitocin to speed things up and got super nauseous, shakey, and felt pretty high. At 8, after multiple midwifes and doctors came to check on me, they all came into my room and told me I had two options. My contractions had stopped and weren’t getting stronger. I could either continue pitocin which slowed my baby’s heart rate down to an unstable irregular rate and stress her out but hopefully continue having contractions or I could go into a csection right then. I started crying and was on so many drugs I felt like the world was ending. I felt like I wouldn’t be a real mom if I did the csection and never thought I’d be in the position to have that as an option. My boyfriend and I talked and we both wanted to give pitocin one more chance so we called in the doctors again and told them then asked what they thought. They explained my baby’s heart rate was too low she could die as a reaction to the pitocin and that csection would be the safest way to go for both of us. They felt uncomfortable giving me pitocin but said it was still my choice. So I said let’s do the csection then. They gave me 3 more drugs through my IV I can’t remember which but I was high as a kite bawling my eyes out. Within a few minutes I was in the operation room having shakes and spasms so they had to tie me down. After getting more medication I couldn’t remember anything and was bawling screaming I didn’t want a csection. All I remember is so many people came into the room and it began. At 9:11 PM Scarlette April Rose Powell was born weighing 6.11 and measuring 19 1/2 inches on April 27th.They got her breathing and took her back to the delivery room with daddy who was smiling ear to ear. After I was stitched up I got back to the room and saw my daughter for the first time. She’s everything I imagined and has equal features from daddy and myself❤️ even though it was the most traumatizing and painful experience and situation I could have ever imagined here I am while she sleeps in my arms. She’s the best baby she’s so calm and alert but doesn’t cry and she acts like daddy already. She’s the love of my life😍
