The contractions was horrible! I made it to 5cm and got the epidural.. then it was a breeze after that. They had gave me the pit to make the contractions regular.. I slept through all that, woke up and they checked me, I was a 9. Almost two hours later It was go time. Pushed for little over a hour and TADA! I didn't feel anything.. thats why it took me so long to push her out. And I had to stop in the middle cause my back was killin me. I cried! It was from pushing so hard and from pullin my legs to my chest. Since I didnt eat my sugar was down and from pushing and sweating so much my temp was pretty high.. so when she came out she had low sugar and high temp as well, and she had also pooped inside. But she is healthy!!
