Well I did it... He's here!!! Born at 6:38pm, 7lb 7oz and 19" @ 36wk + 6d in Madison, AL on Aug 5, 2014
it was a monger journey and I will gladly share it all, but its 230am and I will just share a snippet...
8/5
-1am awoke to severe back pain radiating from shoulders to lower back.
-2am nausea enters. Take zofran and tylenol. Able to nap til 5am.
-5am get up to turn off kitchen lights and go pee. Use toilet and a gush comes out. I think to myself my water broke, walk around a little and continue to leak.
-510am call nurse line, they tell me to leave right away
-630am arrive at hospital as a family. Get admitted.
-7am admitted to triage, broken water. Only 3cm, 70% effaced. Get IVs started, paperwork, blood drawn.
-10am get transferred to labor & delivery (they were swamped!)
-1030am get started on Pitocin, IV fluids, etc. Only about 4cm
-Noon get medicine before epidural
-1pm get epidural, pain unbearable. Start to drop blood pressure. Several nurses rush in, I get very sleepy, nauseated and oxygen mask put on. After rolling me/baby our blood pressure goes to normal. Very scary!!!
-3pm get checked again, 7cm
-530pm complain of pressure. Checked and a 10... lets go!
-6pm started pushing. He was VERY high up and a slow mover. Took about 15 sets of pushes (3each), his shoulder was getting stuck. But then he came out, the push was a huge relief. I forgot how painful that all is. I don't ever want to do it again. Lol
