At my last doctors appointment I was dilated to a 2, 50% effaced and the doctors told me that I had protein in my pee, they said that since I was past 40 weeks and having horrible migraines with dizziness and blurred vision and the fact my 24 hour test done the week before was borderline that it would be a good idea to induce. I went in for an induction at 6 am on 1-20, they started the pitocin by 8 am and by 11 am I was having regular painful contractions. By 2 pm I was a 6 and in screaming pain, I didn't want an epidural because she is my third and last baby and to be honest I wanted to see if I could do it. At 3 pm I was feeling tons of pressure and the nurse came to check me and I was an 8 and fully effaced, she called for my midwife but never got an answer. 10 minutes later I felt the need to push I was fully dilated and ready so the nurse started calling for anyone who could come to deliver. My body started pushing so when it was clear nobody was coming my nurse broke my water and told me baby pooped in the womb and called for NICU, I knew right then I had to get her out. I started pushing as hard as I could every time my body told me to, in 3 pushed I felt her head come out and with 5 pushes she was completely out. They took her to be checked and NICU come in took one look at her and walked out because she was perfectly healthy and obviously didn't inhale or ingest anything! A doctor came in right as the placenta came out she checked me and told me I barely tore and only stitched me up because I was bleeding a little. When they handed me my sweet baby girl she actually lifted her head and looked right at me! My husband stayed right by my side the whole time and was so supportive, I couldn't have done it without him! My heart is so full 💕
