Got induced at 8:00 pm on 02/10/15.
Have no idea what the first medicine given to me was, since it wasn't pitocin, but after it I dilated to a 2 cm. At 2 cm, 9:30 pm, got cervadil inserted. Started dilating very fast. Didn't feel any contractions until about 10:30 pm. They started getting really painful at about 1 am, 02/11/15. I didn't need to get any pitocin since my body was dilating on its own after getting the cervadil removed at 11:30 the night before.
Dilated to a 7 at about 4:30 am.
By 5:50 I was dilated to a 9, baby's head was seen and felt perfectly by the nurses. Doctor came at 6:30 am and began pushing a few minutes later.
At 6:52 am, 02/11/15, after 9 pushes, my baby boy was born. Healthy as can be, weighing 7.6 lbs and measuring 21 inches!
I did get a 2nd degree tear and got very swollen. Lost too much blood and my blood pressure got really low. I fainted twice yesterday, blacking out and not remembering what happened when I gained conciousness. But I am feeling better now that I have eaten and gotten some sleep, I should be getting discharged from the hospital some time later today.
Giving birth isn't that bad! The contractions are but I stuck with naturally, no edpidural, just how I wanted.
Not that I feel super proud about that, I just really hate needles. Lol.
But super happy having my beautiful baby boy with me now. Hoping to feel much better soon since I wasn't able to carry him that much after he was born since I got very sick. My husband has been doing most of the work, but I am so grateful for them both.
Good luck to all you mommies out there! It's as amazing experience!!!
