Long labor/c-section update. Thanks for your prayers.

So I went to hospital last Thursday (2/12) for induction. I was 40 weeks & 5 days, the doc wanted to induce because the amnotic fluid around the baby was very low & said the more I wait I will get lower. Plus the baby was bigg. My cervix was CLOSED So thur I got 2 Cervidil inserted in me for 24 hours (1 Cervidil last 12 hrs). After 24 hours, my cervix still didn't open. I had to get the IV induction (pitocin), that didn't open cervix at 1st so they had to increase the number, it was sooo freaking painful. I was begging for epidural. After I got it, I was much better. It took awhile for cervix but Friday night like 11pm, I was open 10cm. I was so happy because I was almst done. They called doc, when time came, I pushed, pushed, pushed, but the baby was way up high. The doc said the baby was way up high & baby heart rate was increasing high, & she was distressing so I had to get emergency c-section. I was soooo scared because I didn't think I would get c-section after days of attempting to open cervix, & now it opened, the baby wouldn't come out.  I was so sad. But I just prayed to God & trusted in him. Within 10 mins, I was prepared for surgey, I went ahead with c-section & on Saturday (2/14) at 1:03am, the baby came out,  she was 10 lbs & 6oz. The doc told me before the baby was too big but never trusted him because estimate can be wrong so I was suprised. She is perfect, she has lots of dark hair that everyone has been commenting on &  just sooo beautiful. The baby is completely healthy & perfect & doc said she was very lucky. On the hand, the whole process was extremely painful. I went through the whole vaginal labor but was unsuccessful & went through c-section. Afterwards, it been dealing with agonizing pain but medicine has helped. I been here at hospital since Thursday, that's 6 days & I'm getting discharged sometime today. I can't wait. I'm ftm, I'm sooo grateful to be over & praying for faster recovery. I wish you all successful pregnancy & easier delivery than what I had. Thanks for those who prayed for me.
