Bradys Birth Story: After a lot of back and hip pain I was ready to be done with pregnancy! When I went in at 35 weeks…

Bradys Birth Story:

After a lot of back and hip pain I was ready to be done with pregnancy! When I went in at 35 weeks the doctor couldn't reach my cervix and I wasn't having contractions, so she marked me down as 0cm dilated. When I went in for my 36 week appointment I was at 4cm and we were all pretty shocked! After that I was super paranoid I would give birth at any second, but I held on another week and at my 37 week appointment I was at 5 cm, very effaced, and the he was at a +1 station. As a FTM the doctor kept saying "... I can't believe you're still pregnant!"

The appointment was on a Tuesday afternoon, so I went back to work, told my boss about my doctor appt, and everyone got really nervous about my being at work instead of at home (no way I was having my baby at my workplace!). I packed up my stuff and worked from home for the next few days.

On Thursday (New Years Eve) at about 5pm it looked like I had peed myself, but I didn't remember doing it. The doctor had warned me that, because Bradys head was so low, my water breaking may not be super obvious so I should call if I wasn't sure since this baby could come fast! I called in and they suggested I head straight to the hospital. When I got there they confirmed my water had broken, but it had only done so a little bit. I wasnt having contractions yet so my doctor broke my water the rest of the way and 1.5 hours later I was at 10cm. I got the epidural about an hour into having contractions since they came fast.

Brady was still at +1 so they gave me some pitocin and wanted me to wait to push until he got to +3. Josh and I watched Cops for about 2 hours while my body did it's thing.

The nurses were rooting for me to have the first baby of the year, but the pushing stage took 2.5 hours so it didn't happen. Toward the end Bradys heartbeat was dropping during contractions so I had to get an episiotomy :( But then out came my beautiful little boy! He was born January 1st at 2:53am, 7lbs 8oz and 22 inches long ❤

Sorry I havent posted an update on whats happened. I finally.had my baby boy, Noah Jesus Zamora 😍 So I went in Friday night due to small contractions, once I made it to the hospital they had become regular & I was almost 2 cm dilated. They kept me for 2 hours before sending me home because my contractions werent causing any dilation. So my bf & I spent the night at my mothers just incase something happened. I tried to fall asleep around 1 something in the a.m. after timing contractions that were 2-3 mins apart. I sleep on & off until 3 a.m. and my contractions had gotten worse. I went to use the bathroom and I had seen that I completely lost my mucous plug/had my show! So I woke my mom up & she sat with me for a while. I walked around the house for a bit and before I knew it the contractions had progressed so I called ny doctor & he told me to head to the hospital. When I get there they start to monitor baby Noah & my contractions and when I got checked I made progress. So they hooked me up to an IV because they thought maybe I was dehydrated & they gave me some morphine around 6 a.m. so I could sleep. I was in so much pain from the contractions and needles I cried & my bf started to cry because he hated to see me in such pain. I kept falling in out of sleep after the morphine shot. Definitely couldnt sleep through the contractions. They brought me breakfast around 8 o'clock, which made my mom and bf think they were gonna send me home again. Later on around 2 my doctor came in to check my cervix & surprisingly I was 3 cm dilated (the amount you have to be for my hospital to admit you) so it hit me that I wasn't leaving without my baby boy. They told me they weren't gonna check again for another 2 hours to give me some time to progress to 4 cm & get the epidural. So within those 2 hours it had gotten BAD I was in the worst pain ever. and around 4 the nurse came in to check my cervix, come to find out I was FULLY DILATED! I freaked because I did not want to feel all of the pain of giving birth. I told my nurse I wanted try the epidural even though there was a huge chance it would have no effect. Getting the epiduarl was a pan becaue I was having full blown contractions while having to stay still complety it was horrible. So after that I waited for it to kick in a bit, it definitely helped the only thing I could feel was the urge to poop. It took me almost an hour to push and it was seriously the worst pain ever because I could feel the burning and everything but finally out came Noah 😍 weighing 7 pounds 13 ounces & 18 inches long looking just like his daddy. Im so in love and my life is now complete. We couldn't be happier to have finally met our baby! Longest labor story ever lol I babble!
