I know it's late but here is my labor story.. I was in labor for 18 hours. the doctor decided to give me pitocin because I wasn't dilating past 3 centimeters then after my water finally broke and at about 4 in the morning l was dilated to 9 then they gave me the epidural because I wasn't progressing for a few hours then finally I got to 10 centimeters and started pushing but the baby wasn't getting past my pelvic bone so the doctor tried the vacuum twice but failed so they rushed me to get an emergency c-section. Very scary but my little man was born at 8:55 on 12/28 his due date he weighed 8 pounds and was 19 inches! I am so happy that he is finally here and we are getting discharged today. Brandon Keith Stern jr is an awesome baby!
