We arrived at the hospital on Thursday 3/10 at 2 pm for a second gel injection and by 4 pm I was contracting. At 8:50 pm my water broke and I was in full hard labor by 9 pm at 2 cm dilation. I really wanted to experience it all as long a possible without an epidural. They hooked me up to pitocin and I labored till 5 am on my own. The epidural arrived and the pitocin was increased . They checked me at 6 am and I had only dilated one cm! Quite frustrating to think I worked so hard for that cm.
The day went on and on and on. I just kept thinking I was never going to meet this little thing. By 5 pm my membranes had been broke for 20 hours and I was only at 6 cm. My midwife Michelle arrived and we all made the decision that c- section was the next step. I agreed and they started to prep for surgery. Our family's came in to give quick hugs before I was going about to be transferred. Michelle decided to check me one last time before I went in. To ALL of our surprise I was fully dilated!!
We pushed for 1 hour and out she came. A beautiful healthy baby girl entered our world. We both are so in love with her.
We of course have taken a hundred + photos of her....Its bed time for us now so I will add more pictures tomorrow.
