Preston Philip-Wayne's Birth Story!

[ayclobes]

Due to having GD, I went to the hospital at 8pm on 2/5/13. I was supposed to start cyotec at 8pm, but b/c my cervix was looking good my dr said to hold off on it until 1am. I walked the halls at 9p-11p. I got into the jacuzzi tub(i was super uncomfortable & the nurse said it was ok). 1am the nurse came to start cyotec, i started contracting at 130am. By 4am I was at 5cm and contractions were coming every 2-3 minutes and getting more and more unbearable. I got the epidural at 430am, and attempted to sleep thanks to the epidural. 8am my dr came in to check me, i was at a 6. I got the pitocin started at 11am. They slowly upped the pitocin, and i was 10cm at 630pm. I started pushing at 630pm and lil man came into the world at 805pm. His shoulder got stuck, and he ended up having a fractured clavicle. I had a 4th degree tear also---oh so painful! Preston Philip-Wayne came into this world weighing 9lbs 13oz & 21 1/4 inches long [ on 2/6/13]! big boy!

Oh my, 4th degree tear sounds terrible! I was luck to have only had a 2nd degree tear, my baby was 9lbs 2oz and 22 inches long when he was born. I got admitted at 7 a.m. for the induction and had him at 7:57 p.m. so not long. Where you dilated at all when you went in? You need to post a picture of bubs, how are you feeling? Can you sit?

I didnt even know i tore that bad, until i had asked my dr if i tore. I was only dilated to a 1-1 1/2 when i was admitted..but they didnt even start the cyotec until 1am because my cervix looked really good. I think i posted pictures of him in the february thread? but i'll post some here too!

Congratulations!

I had a fourth degree tear with my second baby. It wasn't pleasant but I healed up just fine and went on to have two other vaginal births.

Enjoy those baby cuddles!
