This is my birth story: (@natsmommy)
I went to the hospital around 8pm, when I first got there I filled out paper work and put on the gown. Then they put my IV in and started giving me fluids. They started induction at 10pm, I was already 1/2 centimeter dialated. They inserted 3 pills vaginally and were supposed to continue giving me subsequent doses to keep me in labor every 4 hours. Well the contractions started within minutes of being initially induced, they weren't bad and felt mostly like one continuous period cramp. They continually got worse, they were a lot stronger and it didn't feel like one continuous cramp anymore, I could feel the individual contractions. At around 12am I asked to have the IV pain medicine to help deal with the contractions, my plan was to get an epidural when the pain became unbearable. So at 1am (an hour before they were supposed to give me the second dose) the pain medicine wore off completely and the contractions got really bad and my water broke. I asked the nurse for the epidural and she called the anesthesiologist to come and give it to me, but he was in another room giving another woman her epidural so I had to wait. The nurse didn't believe that my water broke, so she looked and sure enough it had. After that she looked at the contraction monitor and saw that my contractions were a minute apart and about a minute long. The nurse had me get up and go in the shower to help ease the pain because at that point I was begging for an epidural because the contractions were unbearable. Well I got in the shower (which helped a lot) and within 10 minutes felt the urge to push. So I told the nurse and she said that I shouldn't push and that I just needed to go back to the bed and lay down and then when everyone got there I could start pushing. Well I tried not to push but my body did anyway. So she put my gown back on and took me back to the bed, laid me down, and checked me. That's when she saw that I was crowning. I pushed 2 more times and he was out. The doctors and nurses weren't even at the bed when he came out, they were still trying to get everything ready. After they saw him come out they immediately took him and cleaned him up while the doctor tried to get me ready to deliver the placenta. The doctor ended up sticking her whole hand into my vagina to pull the placenta out. After I delivered the placenta the anesthesiologist came in to give me my epidural but he was obviously too late.
I was in labor for 3 hours and 49 minutes. Zeek Allen Kellems was born at 1:49am May 7, 2015. He weighed 1 pound 7 ounces and was 12 inches long.

Thank you for sharing very inspirational <3
exactly! an opinion is an opinion but you shouldn't judge someone for something that you don't fully understand
We've all been through some sort of hell. There's no room for judgement or shunning in my book. :)
@jaspersmama61315, thank you, and I think so too. everyone here is really nice, and I feel like I can openly talk about my son without being shunned, which is kinda what happened when I posted to baby bump pro
Keep praying. God knows your deepest desires and will do as he sees fit in his time. Keep your head up @zeeksmommy ☺️ you've definitely got a support system here.
@jaspersmama61315, I'm just hoping that I can conceive another baby by next year, I want to give zeek a baby brother or sister. I also feel like my body is craving what it should have but doesn't.
That's such a beautiful image in a dark and sad time. I'm praying for you @zeeksmommy. God knows what he's doing even when it's sad and hard things like taking a baby from his mama. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel.
@jaspersmama61315, my aunt Mary passed away on October 20 of last year, that's when I conceived my son. I me to think that she wanted to hold him first.
Just think, the positives of this event is that you will one day see your little fella healthy and running around at the gates of heaven! I know it has to be hard but keeping him in your thoughts really is the best thing you can do for him and yourself. He's your little one no matter what and he'll always be watching over you. :)
@jaspersmama61315 and @elenaj thank you, its not easy but I'm just taking it minute by minute. it helps to talk about my son because he is and always will be a part of me. I miss him so much, but he's in a better place now 👼
This actually made me cry as I was reading this. I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine losing a little one. You are so strong. Keeping you in my prayers.
it was very intense and so scary. I was not expecting to be in labor for only 3 hours. I had never heard of anyone having a baby that quickly, especially when they're induced. I have to remember next time to tell the nurses that I go quick so that no one is caught off guard like they were with this birth. and thank you, it helps me to talk about him, it makes me feel better. and you're welcome! I love talking about it even though it was hard to go through.
Oh wow that sounds like quite an intense ride. You pulled through just fine then. I'm sure you will be so familiarized for your next baby. So deeply sorry for your loss though :/
you're welcome! I hope it helps you guys to read about my experience 😊
