Aa
labor story!!
SORRY ITS SO LONG!!!
On April 4th I went to labor and delivery for having contractions, but they were to irregular. I was 38 weeks and 4 days.. they started monitoring me and my bp was crazy all over and i was super dizzy and blured vision and a head ache. They decided to induce me over preeclampsia symptons. At 1:45am april 5th i started the pill that goes by my cervix since i was half a cm dilated and barely thinned at all!! That morning they let me eat and shower then another pill. Finally it started working but very slowly. At 11pm i was 3cm and they started Pitocin and gave me a epidural since my contractions were 3 to 4 min apart before even getting my medicine. By 12:50am on April 6th my water broke. At 8am i was 9cm and 90% effaced, they told me if it didn't change in a few hours i would get a c sectionm, at 10 they checked and yay i was there. I tried pushing but my body wasn't doing enough with the epidural so i had to let it start wearing off. I started pushing about 12:45pm and i welcomed my baby boy into this world at 2:30pm on April 6th weighing 8.10 and 21 3/4in. When he came out the cord was around his neck. Took 17 min to stabalize him and it was the longest 17 min of my life. I lost ALOT of blood and got super sick. We both were anemic but he was only slightly. I am so blessed to have such a amazing baby and glad he was okay!

Wow what an intense labor but so thankful you both are ok and doing good. Good job momma!
The first lady who put in the pill didnt use the special tool so it hurt. The second one did and i didnt feel it. My contractions were already 3 to 4 min before i even got the Pitocin so i got the epidural before they even started that, and i slept the whole night lol
