thanks everyone... and a big hello to Stacie... of course i do remember you from our mid term TTC thread and i think u were second graduate from that thread..
now that i have a bit of time i will try sharing my birth story.
After being put on bed rest for 10 days .. i had a go ahead from my doctors to get me induced on 5th of june.. they told me everything is under control and baby's lungs are mature enough for her to be out of the body. So on 3rd June they asked me to go home and get ready and come back 5th june 7am to get induced.
I was so excited and off i went home did final touches to my bag. On 4th June around 4pm i went to toilet and what i see? bloody show... i initially thought it was from my infection.. but then i realized that next 2-3 times i went to pee i can see the pink mucosy discharge.. i anyways decided to give hospital a call and let them know.. mid wife told me to wait and see for couple more hours as i was going to hospital anyways the next day for induction.
I kept myself busy all evening cooked dinner and then i realized water trickling down my track pants.. it wanst a gush but yes defenitely there.. and at the same time i started having mild contractions coming every 15-20minuts..
i again gave a call to midwife around 8.30 in the evening and she told me to keep an eye for 1 hours and see if contractions are still there.. i knew in my heart that this is it... i knew that my induction will be cancelled and that i am well and truely in labour..
i waited for couple of hours and when contractions were every 8-9 minutes i decided to head to hospital..
reached there around 1.30 in the morning and was checked and came to know i was 4cm..
i was not coping with the pain tho so i asked for gas and air..however didnt helped me much so around 5am i asked for epidural..
i was 6 cm by then..
things started to slow down after i was given epidural... and so around 11.30 in the morning when i was checked again i was only 7 cm.. so they decided to add on drip for oxycontin and boy it kicked in fast..
i had absolutely no break from contractions once the hormone kicked in and epidural had practically no effect on me by that time.
At 1pm my dr. came in and said im def 10cm and asked midwife to start with pushing..
after half an hour of pushing nothing happened and my pain was getting unbearable.. dr. came in and checked and decided that she will be using suction cup on baby;s head and asked me to continue pushing through the contractions.. and as she put the suction cup - guess what? that was a faulty one.. and was not working...
went on for about 45 minutes , and then my dr. said that we need to get the baby out as her hear rate was dropping and told me to try and get her out within next 2-3 contractions.. at the same time she decided to do an episiotomy.. i was getting absoultely out of energy by that time but then i decided to give my everything in next 2 contractions BUT once baby was down enough i didnt have to wait for the contractions.. i just had to push .. it was this strong urge to just push .. i told my dr. i want to push RIGHT NOW..
and after 2-3 pushes i could hear midwife saying "its a girl and she is petite" and next thing i heard was Miraya crying .. that was the best feeling in the world.. and like always said that u forget every pain once u have that baby.. that so true..
her apgar score at 1 min was 8 and 5min was 9
they put her on me and then i guess the most difficult part for the dr. started.. to put on stitches and i had an uncontrolled bleeding.. the dr. was worried as they couldnt stop the bleeding and they didnt knew where it was coming from.. i could see few worried faces in that room but for me the best thing was i had Mirayaa in my arms absolutely healthy and perfect
finally after half an hour of struggling they stitiched me back and was able to control the bleeding.. i bled around 750ml of blood which they think is higher then normal..
im just really happy and releived that at the end of few tough last weeks of my pregnancy i finally have Miraya with me who is absolute angel.. she only cries when shes hungry.. shes a beauty and i never thought changing diapers and breast feeding will be such a satisfying thing.. wont trade that for anything in this world..
Sorry for this epic post... and if u have read through that.. ur a trooper
