I went to my regular OB appointment, I had high blood pressure, and my baby hadn't been moving around as much. They sent me over to the hospital to deliver, this was on Tuesday at 10:30 AM.
I went to the hospital and they started my pitocin at 5:30pm. They put a foley bulb inside me to help me dilate a little after.
At 7 PM I started contracting, and at 9:23PM I got a dose of Staydol... made me loopy. I couldn't stop giggling.
At 5:20 AM I was dilated to a 4, but still firm, so out came the bulb. They broke my water, and I waited an hour for my epidural, because of fluids.
I got my epidural at 6:35 Am. 9 AM, dialed to a 4 still, and 70% effaced, 11:15 AM dilated to a 4+ and 80% effaced. 2:25 PM, 5+ dilated, and 90% effaced. 4:30 PM 6 dilated, and 90% effaced.
At 6:25 PM I was dilated to a 7, and 100% effaced, with a soft cervix.
My epidural completely wore off at this point and i was hurting bad, so they came in and up'd it, and gave me something else too. I went COMPLETELY numb, couldn't move my legs or anything.
My mom kept asking them to check me an hour later and they wouldn't because I wasn't feeling any pressure or anything. They said it was too soon and would still be hours.
Well at like 8:20ish I felt a tiny bit of pressure, and told my mom to get the nurse because I wanted to see if I had progressed any. A doctor came in to check me, and said oh my, we need to get the table in here fast! And told the nurse to get dressed QUICKLY, she was holding in the baby! Like 15 people rushed in my room and were all standing around.
I pushed her out in 5 contractions, like 2-3 pushes each contraction.
She's now in the nursery, she has to have an oxygen hood over her... and might get sent to the NICU if her breathing doesn't improve...
I just want to hold her and kiss her...
