I have to keep it short as my honey needs momma's attention :)

On The 4th around 8pm my contractions started getting bad I had posted my "this is it" earlier that day because I was having what I thought was bad contractions but they got so much worse!
I labored at home until about 3am, I couldn't bear the pain anymore and I was timing the contractions at about 5 min apart, i thought *hopefully* I was 4cm as my water didn't break yet and I didn't want to get sent home. I got to the hospital and up to L&D and had a nasty nurse lol, she had such a bad attitude and kept giving me a hard time as my doctor wasn't from the hospital, the witch even said to me "Oh so your plan was to just show up here when you think your in labor" with a nasty tone... They examined me by 4am (the 5th) and I was so upset I was only 2cm dilated..

They called an OBGYN and asked if they should send me home or keep me 2 hours to check again, luckily I wasn't sent home. At 6 am I was crying so much pain, those contractions! I will never forget that pain it really isn't like anything I ever felt before! Well at 6am I was 4cm! :happydance: So I got to stay.
Poor OH I was being sooo mean to him he was rubbing my feet and being so nice and I told him to F**** off and if he didn't shut the F**** up I was going to punch him in the face..
LOL
Well The whole time I had some really killer pressure down below, baby took up a spot on my bladder and I constantly had to pee! And nothing would come out!
At 6:30am I was begging for the epidural.. The guy with the meds showed up around 7:30am, I literally was crying tears of joy when he came lol. When I was getting the epidural, my OH had to be taken out the room because he almost passed out when he seen the needle LOL.
I labored in bed for a few more hours, I couldn't really move my legs and didn't feel pain only whenever I would get a contraction it felt like my bladder was going to explode! At 10am they came to check me again, I was 6 cm dilated. They weren't happy with LO's heart rate as every time I had a contraction it dropped. So they inserted an internal moniter on her head and broke my water. I labored a few more hours and at 12pm the doctor came and wasn't too happy again with baby's heart and I had only progressed 1cm (so 7cm at noon) So they decided to try and give me pitocin to speed things up.

Around 1:30pm I want to say they came back and I was 10cm :happydance: so the doctor said since LO's heart kept spiking and dropping that I could push for 2 hours and if she wasn't out I would have to go for a c section.
I pushed and pushed and tried so hard, turns out though LO's head had gotten swollen as she entered the birth canal so they decided there was NO WAY she was going to fit out. I came so freakin' close OH even seen her hair at one point!

They prepped me for the section, and I had to get extra meds because of being in the same position for hours(they were trying to keep baby's heart normal) my neck muscles at stiffed up really bad, and I had the shakes from the epidural and was crying so freaking bad because I never had surgery in my whole life.

My Precious baby girl was born 3/5/2012 at 4:31pm 7 lbs 11 oz!. They showed her to me, she got an apgar score of 9.9! OH carried her to the nursery while the surgeons finished me up.
I couldn't feel my legs for almost 24 hours! I didn't get to see my baby or hold her for almost 5 hours after I gave birth, that was the worst thing :(
I got staples in my stomach, in a lot of pain but these have been the happiest days of my entire life.
OH has been so good helping me as it hurts to even walk.
While at the hospital, there was almost 24 hours I didn't get to hold or touch my baby because she had jaundice because I wasn't producing enough colostrum to fill her up. So right now its getting better I pumped the whole time she was away and kept bringing it to the nursery to feed her, I really wanted to exclusively BF but I am not beating myself up, I feed my baby from each breast then give her formula to make sure she is getting enough until my "real" milk comes in.

We are home now and doing great, I am so happy I have my OH I don't know how I would do all this without him :cloud9: Olivia is such a good baby, she only cries if she just wakes up and is hungry, and she poops every single time right before its time to eat :haha:

Thanks everyone for all the support you gave me while I was pregnant, see you in Baby Club!! :)
