Hey all just wanted to share Riley's arrival. So I went to Dr. on Wed and was still 3 cm 70% effaced. Had my induction scheduled for next Tues since things get busy before a holiday.
Thursday morning I woke up at 4:00 and went pee and saw my bloody show then started having contractions on and off 14 mins apart. We got my daughter off to daycare and went back home to get the car packed and ready to go. I called the doctors office b/c I'm GBS+ and wasn't sure I needed to go in earlier to start the antibiotic. At that point I was having them about 10 mins apart but not exactly consistent. They said to go into the office to get a labor check and I was now 6cm dilated and she sent me to labor and delivery at the hospital. Got there around 11:30 and then nothing. I only went to 7cm and stopped. I did get my 2 rounds of antibiotics which made me very happy and around 4:00 I was having much stronger contractions and was 7-8 cm. 5:00 I asked for an epidural and at 6:00 the Dr. can in to break my water. I was good for about 40 mins and then started feeling the contractions all over again. They checked me at 6:45 and I was 10 cm so I started to push. Her head crowned immediately and on my 3rd round of pushing she got her shoulder stuck. The nurse jumped on me and started to push hard on my belly and they laid me all the way back and I had to push with all my might. They got her out in a total of 10 mins but those last few were really scary. She didn't cry right away and the nurses took her away to check her. They were concerned that her clavicle was damaged but she was fine and after some rubbing she started to cry. Her face was also pretty bruised but it will fade over time.
So Riley Nicole was born at 7:03pm on 11/12 weighing 9lbs. 8 ounces. She has a full head of black hair and is so adorable.
