I was admitted into the hospital Friday February 24th for my induction at 7:30 am , and they put a 6 hour gel on my cervix at 8:00 to soften my cervix .... at 9:00 am i was allowed to start walking around to get it going , but I couldnt for too long as my feet would swell up horribly 
at 3pm i was checked and there was no progress, so they gave me another 6 hour gel , and decided to check me in another 6 hours of walking , eating & bouncing on the birthing ball ... around 6 pm i was starting to feel period cramps but nothing i couldnt bare .... at 9pm i was checked again .... no progress . i was having what they called "non productive contractions"
i was sooooo disappointed ... anyways, they decided to give me cervadil which is like a tampon looking thing , and it is used to "ripen the cervix"
i was given a sleeping pill so i could get some rest ... and i slept til exactly 12:01 am ... then i woke up with contractions ... and boy, i knew that this was the real deal .. I woke my mom up and told her to call the nurse , that this was it i was having contractions & i wanted to get up & walk ... so walk i did .. my mom called my dad and OH in , and she went out in the truck to get some sleep while i walked the halls . As me and Sheldon (OH) were walking , it got to the point i couldnt even talk through the contractions , but i forced myself to take little baby steps through them ..
around 3:30 i was in so much pain i wanted drugs for these contractions , so i was given Nubane and Gravol , which is an injection in my hip .. Sheldon told me the needle was big but i didnt feel it
that child labor really does a number on you .. lol but anyways , that knocked me out for a good 5 hours , then iwoke up again ... and was checked ... ONE CENTIMETER DILATED 
fast forward, cause all i did til about 12 was walk , then i got another shot in my other hip of the same stuff ... which put me out til about 3 , i woke up ... walked around for an hour , ate ... and then got checked at 4.... 4 centimeters dilated .. I was right pissed off at that point because i heard another woman who'd come in at 8 am the same morning and was already 5-6 centimeters dilated .. anyways , i was given the epidural (3 bloody times cus that idiot coulnt find the spot) .. and again , passed out .. woke up , passed out ... at 6 i was up and my pad was checked , and there was BLOOD . the nurse said we were ready to have the baby ... except i was 9 cms dilated and part of my cervix was still covering her head .. and her head was the wrong way (facing up) ... so i was convinced i was having a c-section .
at 7 the nurse turned me on my side in hopes to get baby facing the right way .. which KIND of worked .. anyways , 7:28 i started pushing , and the nurse i had (who was EFFING AWESOME) was manually TURNING her to face the proper way as i pushed ... I pushed, and i pushed (and i pood)
and i pushed as hard as i could ... and then BAM ... she was here , 36 hours labor( early & hard ) , and 36 minutes of pushing ... 8:04 pm , February 25th 2012 weighing 8 lbs 7 oz , and 21 inches long my baby was here ! Cianna Lynne M******
I love her more than life itself .. so proud to be a mommy!
if you read that - thanks & good job
and theres a pic of her when she was FIRST born , posing already lol ... and theres a pic of my pretty baby today ...
EDIT: I forgot to mention that through everything , my mom was there... rubbing my back massaging my feet , bringing me ice , wetting my face cloth , holding my hand , walking with me talking to me ... through everything she was my support my rock & i couldnt havr brought my baby girl into this world without her help!
