Little Chloe arrived weighing 7 lbs 15o at 3:23am on 10/10/12.

I got to the hospital at 8pm and was stuck four times trying to get an IV in. I had very small veins. They got it in on the forth try but it wasn't the best placement. I was then started on fluids and I got my gbs medicine.

At around 10 or 11pm I started cydotec orally. I had contractions right away that were 2-3 mins apart. I couldn't feel them so it wasn't a big deal. Though, after 4 hrs I was contracting way to much and couldn't get my two other doses. I hadn't progressed and was still stuck at a 2.

I was talked into getting the folly bulb. It was so painful. They had to do it three times and I aware it was ugh. Bad. The nurse was very un friendly who did it and didn't care I was in a tramic state. After it was done they gave me fethonal which is a pain med. I was just freaked out by the bulb and in pain so it was amazing. I got some sleep with the pain med and then woke up around 10am to get my pitocen started. I started off low at maybe a two and they increased it slowly to a eight over time. It got a bit painful but wasn't horrible. after going up with the pitocen for a day I hadn't progressed at all :'(. Even the bulb left me the same. By now I had back labor and was begging for a c section. Lol

My doctor came in in the morning and agreed to give me a epi because since I wasn't progressing I already had a huge chance of a c section. So I was given the epi at 2 cm 75% effaced. The epi was painless!!! Yay lol

It took away contraction pains but my back labor was still there full force. I got pitocen upped to a wopping 20 and progressed greatly. 4cm in 2-3 hrs 6cm within another 3 hrs and then got to a 8-9 rather fast 4 hours later.

At 9 cm she was super low it my pelvis and they told me to push. The nurses knew she'd be coming soon though it took 3 hrs to get her out. Pushing wasn't painful it was more frustrating. The ring of fire was never felt but, her shoulders hurt me a bit.

The placenta was delivered and Chloe's cord was cut.


Though the bad thing is I lost a lot of blood and had a bad hemoridge. I had clots the size of flat baseballs. They proded my stomach and it hurt so bad. I was givin a pill- didn't work. a shot- didn't stop the bleeding. Then was given a cathoder ( it didn't hurt at all). The catbider stopped the bleeding but they were still concerned. though I'm doing way better just super tired and weak:(


Ask me questions ladies:-P. I'm so in love.
 
Congratulations on the arrival of Chloe! I really hope you feel well again soon after that mammoth labour. I'm sure your precious girl is worth every minute of it :)

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story. Hope you feel all better soon:)
 
Congrats! If my baby was a girl chloe is one of the names we liked!
 
A folly bulb is a cathoder that they put past your cervix. It then is blown up to about 4cm at the end that trys to put pressure on the cervix to dilate.
 
Congrats!!! Hope you are feeling better soon!!!!
 
Congratulations on the birth of your baby! Hope you are fully recovered soon :) xx
