Hi everyone!! I'm back and a mommy!! Birth story included/ Picture of Shane in my album
I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy Shane Matthew on March 5th. I was one day early. He is 7lbs 11oz and 21 inches long. I will post pics soon!!
As I posted the other day, I started having contractions at around 6:30am on Thursday. They just felt like bad AF cramps and I also lost my mucus plug. I started timing them and around 12pm they started becoming 2-3 min apart. I called the doctor and they had me go to the hospital. The contractions started getting a little worse but still tolerable. I was in labor and delivery and they started monitoring me. My contractions where actually 4-5 min apart. They decided to keep me and broke my water. They wanted the contractions closer and stronger so they gave my pitocin. I was already about 4-5cm dilated. Man, did that pitocin make the contractions closer and stronger. They where pretty painful. You can not talk through them at all, and its even hard to breath. I asked for an epidural. I held out as long as I could. The epidural was wonderful!!! It wasn't so bad getting the epidural itself, but I was having horrible contractions while he was putting it in and I couldn't move. It was over pretty quick though. I had the epidural around 7pm and started to push at 8:30 when I was fully dilated. I pushed for 2 hours and he was out. I tore a little, but I didn't feel anything. All and all it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I won't say it was easy and oh it hurts, but you get through it. Everything went very smooth. Baby is doing well. I'm still adjusting to being a new mother. It is not easy!! We just got home today. Nursing has been tuff. It is hard getting him to latch on, but I'm trying my best.
Also, be prepared for not sleeping during your hospital stay. I even had them keep the baby overnight and I still didn't sleep. The nurses are in and out all night. I had a roomate who had a c-section so she needed help to go to the bathroom and was hooked up to noisy monitors the first night. So, even though I had nothing wrong, I was woken up alot. I couldn't wait to get home!!!
