MY BIRTH STORY:

On December 3rd I was induced with my first baby at the age of 17. I was 42 weeks exactly and was induced at 7pm. I arrived and was hooked up to my iv and cervadil was inserted. I was only 1cm when I got there. I arrived already having pretty steady contractions from shopping all day and trying to get last minute things ready. My cervadil was removed at about 8:30pm after my body decided to go into labor itself. They went ahead and started pitocin to speed things up. I was given pain medicine to help me sleep and rest as much as I could. I woke up at 3am with full blown back labor and opted to get my epidural. I was still only at about 3cm then. At around 4am it was inserted and I slept a little longer. I woke up at 7:30am and was checked by the doctor and was at 7 cm. at 8:30 am I began to feel pressure and my epi was long gone. The dr was called as I was 9cm and ready to go. When she arrived I pushed for about 10 min and our 7 lb 15 oz Carsen Wade was born! He was 21 3/4 inches long and I ended up with 1 stitch. He was born on 12/04/12 at 9:04 am. 2 weeks and one day past my due date.
