I love waking up to this beautiful face 😙 Macey, mommy loves you very much! I had to go through a lot to get her here.. Ever since I was 36 weeks I have been getting my cervix checked because she showed signs of wanting to come early. When I was 37 weeks they told me I was dilated to 1 cm and repetitively tell me the same thing every week after. Well February 1st I started having contractions pretty irregular, so I continued with my plans for the day. By noon they were regular and painful! I have always been told that FTMs have a longer labor usually and my hospital was an hour away so I decided to hold off on going until I had reached 7 hours of regular contractions that were 5 minutes apart. Whenever we got her they checked me and told me that I was still at a 1. I was highly disappointed. But was told to come back under certain requirements, we decided to stay at a hotel just to be close. Ended up coming back in when my contractions were 2 minutes apart and becoming unbearable around 2 in the morning. They said I was still at a 1. HOW?! I was in too much pain but they didn't want to admit me until I was at a 5?! Dr finally realized that my body isn't working quite right and I needed help. So after 2 hours of aweful contractions I was finally at a 2 when they decided they could maybe admit me. Then my body acted up like it usually does when under so much stress. I had a seizure. This got the doctors attention. . they put me on magnesium to make sure I didn't have another one but that is also what is used when they need to stop someone from having contractions so I was also put on pitocin to counter act. The Doctor broke my water and this really got my body going. But yet behold there was only more and more pain. I asked for an epidural as soon as I could and they conveniently forgot so I had to remind them. I had to wait forever for the guy to get here but when he did I was finally starting to feel relief. I would sleep very good and as I got farther along they started to wake me up. It was finally that time I was completely dilated but she hadn't moved through the stations which like they wanted her to.. they started getting worried for her heart rate was dropping. very low.. almost went back for an emergency c-section but I wanted her here and I did the best I possibly could because it was all on how I did to get her out into the world. After 45 minutes of pushing and a 2nd degree cut from an episiotomy. My bright eyed little girl came into the world and it was like nothing mattered from that moment on💖
