Labor story...finally...

so, Tuesday after a few days of diarrhea and vomiting I felt like something was off all day long. Around 8:00pm I told my mom that cannon hasn't moved much all day and I was starting to worry. I have it another hour, drank some oj but he still want moving a lot so at 9:30 my sister grove me to the hospital to be put on the monitor. When I got there cannon started moving on his own. I felt like an idiot, but bc I was there the nurse said she wanted me to still get hooked up just in case. After an hour of being monitored she came back into the room and told me I was contracting every 4 mins. I was in shock bc I couldn't feel any of them, no pain at all. She checked me and I was 5cm. So they admitted me. At about 12am I finally started feeling the contractions which were then every 2 mins. I got an epidural at 2am and was at 6cm. I got stuck at 6cm until 8am and the doctor came in and started pitocin. By 11am I started feeling the pain again so I asked the nurse to check me and...surprise, I was fully dilated! She asked me to do a practice push, which I did but she yelled at me to stop and then she ran out of the room and brought back my doctor. I pushed three times and Cannon Michael was born at 11:11am on 2/11 at 37 wks 3 days. I had some excessive bleeding and my blood pressure dropped so I was given an iv of meds. Cannon weighed 6lbs 12.5oz, 19 in long, and in perfect health. Both cannon and myself were released from the hospital earlier today and are both doing very well.

Good luck ladies on the rest of your pregnancy! I'll give updates as they come.
