LABOR STORY🙂
I was induced 7am this morning and had my son at 7:10pm. 12 hours of labor which wasn't too bad, they started me off with that little pill that's supposed to help you contract (don't know what it's called lol), well it was having me contract but no progress was made within the 4 hours they had me wait so my doc decided to give me a second pill to see if that would help any. 4 hours come around, it's about 3:00 then and I went from a 2 1/2 to a 3 1/2. So my doc decided to pop my water and see if I'd progress that way. I asked for some meds because it was starting to get uncomfortable so she gave it to me but it wore off fast and by that time my contractions were so bad so I requested an epidural. Took what seemed like forever for them to come to me and they worked me up for it. Well the damn thing didn't even numb anything besides the top of my stomach which all of my contractions were at the bottom and I had so much pressure and they had gave me a dose of pitocin. From there I labored hard and requested another dose of the epidural which numbed me for about 30 mins then wore off. Then by the time I knew it it was time to push my body started to do it itself which my nurses were telling me not to because a part of my cervix wasn't ready yet but the pressure was so intense. My doctor finally showed up and I delivered my son with two big pushes and tore barely. I felt my stitches as my doctor did them and she was surprised since I had the epidural but I told her it didn't even work so I basically had him naturally. It was so intense but I'd do it all over again, I cried and cried when I saw him. 💙 my baby boy is finally here!
