Bear with me its a bit long.
So I had my last doctors appointment on jan 14th, the doc did a quick exam and I was 4cm dialated but no contractions we scheduled an induction for the 21st, and she sent me home. For the next two days I tried everything to get my contractions going, I really wanted to go into labor naturally... Walking worked while i was walking but once i relaxed the contractions went away and I was just so bummed.. I was so tired of being pregnant, not that i was overdue but it was close enough to my due date that i was anxious. I was due the 20th of jan.
So after two days of on and off labor I looked online to see what I could do to move things along. I saw a youtube video about a lady that danced herself into labor so i decided to give it a try. So on the 16th of jan while my OH was making supper i blasted some music and danced for about 20-30minutes. We ate supper and around 730pm the contractions started coming every 5 minutes lasting 45seconds to a minute long... So we packed up the car, went to pick up my MIL and off we went to the hospital. My quote on quote mom(long story shes not really my mom but like one) met us at the hospital. my contractions were still 5mins apart and regular i was 5cm dialated at this point. They asked me if i wanted the epidural I said yes.. they brought me to the room i would be staying in while i was there, it wasnt long before the pain was gone. I was so relieved, but my relief didnt last long around 10pm they broke my water, miconium(she had already had her first bowl movement) So they explained that there would be extra nurses from the NICU just in case she has inhaled some but assured me that is was a regular thing and that the nurses were just there incase. But let me tell you, once they broke my water my epidural stopped working :O :S they gave me all the boosts and nothing helped so i dealt with it. but the pain made me nausious and i dont think i have ever thrown up so much. By id say around 11pm I felt the need to push so the nurse checked me but i was still only at 9cm i remember complaining and saying i just wanted to push. they wouldnt let me. Finally at about 1130 they told me i could push.. my response was; no i dont want to anymore lmao but it was time and i had no choice. I pushed for about 20minutes I only really remember the last push I had pushed so hard I nearly lost conciousness and she cried coming out.she was born at 11:52pm weighing 5lbs 9oz and measured 19cm. I only got to hold her for a few minutes while OH cut the cord and then they brought her to the nursery just to make sure she didnt have any cecreations in her lungs or throat it made me sad that I couldnt have her right then and there. I had torn pretty badly deep inside and also a little tear on the outside so I got stiched up, I was exausthed by that time so OH and his mum went home and so did mine. I slept until about 130am and then the nurse brought her to my room I stayed up watching her for a few hours in awe at the fact that she had come out of me(still am nearly 3 months later), she is a miracle. I was over joyed that she stayed in my room the rest of our stay. I left the hospital friday morning the 18th of jan. All I can say is that I am the proudest mother ever and to be honest kinda cant wait to do it again
