labor story:

I went in Wednesday at 12:00 to be induced at 41 weeks. they wouldn't let me go to 42 weeks because my heart rate was in the 130's. at about 1 I finally got started they started with the pill that goes next to the cervix (can't remember the name) after about an hour of laying there not being able to get up contractions were strong and exactly 2 minutes apart at 2 I was able to get up and walk around for an hour so I walked the entire hospital with contractions at 2 minutes and getting stronger. at 3 I went back to the room and walked some more. at 4 the doc came to check on me. I was at a 1 cm but they couldn't give me anything more until contractions either got stronger and I had change or they eased up at 1 am they finally eased up enough to start pitocin. at 6:32 am my water broke lots of fluids and didn't stop till about 1pm finally they did a balloon a

because I wasn't progressing at about 4 the balloon fell out and I was at a 3 I couldn't take the pain any more after being in labor for 26 hours I finally got the epidural at 9pm I was checked and was a 5 at 10:15pm was checked a d was just over 5 I them asked for them to turn off the epidural at 10:45 I had the urge to push I had my bf go grab the nurse. I was complete!!! they wouldn't let me try any practice pushes and by 11:18 my daughter was born 9.49 pounds and 21.5 inches long. I ripped a lot and felt every bit of it still wouldn't trade it for anything
