sharing my experience. *long*

Well as most of yall know I got sent to the hospital because of a high blood pressure reading last Wednesday at 40+1,  well that's where it all began. First getting induce for 8 hours first with a pill then pitocin, causing contractions but not strong enough, had to wait 2 days (Thursday and friday) at the hospitalto keep monitoring me and baby. Saturday got induced again with just the pill, caused stronger contractions but not regularly so got told I had to wait til monday to get induced again, BUT they came sunday morning and told me I was gonna get the pitocin on that day so I was happy that I didn't have to wait an extra day, when I went to start I was at 4 already so had only 6 to go.It worked! We started at 2ish they kept checking me every 2to 3 hrs...I got to 10 at about  2:30am I started pushing at around 3am, pushed for 3 hoursbut my baby wasnt coming down enough, the doctors were trying to convince me to do a csection but I refused due to the risk and me and my husband chose not to do that. So the doctors moved me to the delivery room and used the forceps at this point my epidural was wearing down so yes I felt most of it but let me tell yall it was all worth it at the moment I heard my baby cry. Today we get to go home and be our own little family. I can't begin to explain how much love I have for this little man. So after a long wait and being 6 days overdue my little man Austin Eduardo was born on 8/12/13 at 6:32am 7lbs 5oz and 19 in long. And most importantly healthy as he can be.

Yay. Congrats girl!! That's so much to go thru. So long to deal with that!! I'm 33 weeks and yesterday I had to get a shot to stop my contractions. But fortunatly I haven't started dialating so I feel I don't have too much to worry about her coming just yet. I carry a baby well. And I can push em out easily but my body ( at least for my other two pregnancies) doesn't open (dialate and eface). Hopefully she comes easier!:) I know youre so excited to have your sweet baby with you now!! So happy for u!!

Congrats!!!! Omg! Do much stress and decision! How did you decided to not go for c-section? Did they tell you that it wasnt important and it was ur decision? Im so nervous! I dont want them to push c-section on too me unless itd like life or death situation. Plus obviously you didnt need a c-srction that bad since ur son is healthy!! So they were trying yo push you into it even though you didnt need too! Do scary and stressful! But im glad your little man is finally hete safe and sound! :)

Yes they were trying to make me do the c-section,  but I knew that I didn't want it....like I was pushing and a doctor came in and said "well sweetheart u only have 1 hr to push" I was like no I don't!  Straight up told them I did not want a c-section.
