Ok so I am actually due May 25th, 2012 BUT when I went to my doctor's appointment on May 8th I learned that my blood pressure had spiked and I had gained over 10lbs in water retention. I was extremely swollen and there was nothing wrong with baby but my doctor didd not want to wait until something was wrong to do something about it.
So on May 8th I was sent to the hospital after my doctor's appointment for a non-stress test which revealed to my doctor that it was time to induce.
Induction took days!! After the 4th set of induction medication on Thursday at 10pm the meds finally started getting dialation going. I was so frustrated having had contractions from 10pm May 8th to May 10th with no real progress.
At 4:21am on May 11th, I was on my way back to bed from the bathroom and got a strong contraction so I stopped and grabbed onto a countertop and started to sway into it and breathe... then all of a sudden I felt the gush between my legs and felt baby's head slam into my pelvic bone... OWWWIE!!!
Active Labor immediately turned into transition labor which lead to 6am when I was ready to start pushing. Then at 6:14am I gave that last push and gave it all of my strength and my darling son was born.
Stats:
Born: May 11th, 2012
@ 6:14am
Weight: 7lbs 2oz
Height: 21 inches
I am most proud of doing it all DRUG FREE!!! (however I was begging for a c-section right before the last few pushes... haha) But I'm very proud of myself because I was so worried I wouldn't be able to go through with it but I did because my husband was an incredible coach!!
