Our Birth Story
I had GD so they would not let me go past my due date. So, Sunday the 25th we had to report to the hospital to start the induction process. We arrived at 7, checked in and waited. They started cervadil at 11pm and I sent hubby home, knowing nothing was going to happen that night..I wanted him refreshed for the big day. Cervadil was no biggie, no discomfort or anything. So I fell asleep watching TV. Well, at 3am..BAM I get my first real contraction...ouchie, but I must say I was excited. So the nurse comes in because they see them on the monitor, coming really strong, they give me something and buh bye..off to sleep I go. I woke up at 8 and my doctor was there and they were taking out the cervadil already, I was told it would be in for 9 hours and I would probably need it twice..NOT. So I was 1 cm dialated and they were gettingme ready to go to a delivery room. I called hubby and told him to get his butt back there. He was there in no time. I went to a beautiful delivery room and we hung out in there. The doctor came in and broke my water..what an extremely weird feeling that was. As soon as she broke my water, I seriously felt the baby move up and plant herself in my ribs. She had been head down and low from 28 weeks and she moved herself up..stubborn kid. So, I got an epi, which was not painful at all getting it and it made me feel sooo goooood. My doctor kept checking me every hour and nothing. I was stuck at 1-2 cm. She gave me one more hour to change and said we'd discuss next steps. Well, an hour came and went and nothing, so c-section it was. I was a little bummed and a little relieved all at once. So we waited about an hour for the or to open and in we went. They set me up and hubby went and put on his scrubs..he looked adorable. They numbed me up and started and brought in hubby. About 15 minutes later she came out crying, at 4:48pm all 7lbs 8oz and 20 inches. It was the most amazing sound I had ever heard. Hubby went over and stayed with her while they worked on me and then he came over with her. I could not believe the hair..holy cow, that was all that heartburn for months. She is an absolute angel. She is sleeping soo well. Her first night home she slept for 6 hours, second night 7 hours. And she is eating well too. We are just soooo in love with her. We are just in amazement that we created this perfect angel. TV really does not exist to us anymore, we just want to stare at her (she makes the most adorable faces).
Recovery has been a bit hard..I am still super sore and my back is hurting from that epi a bit, better each day. I have been an emotional basketcase..crying every time someone leaves my house, but I have gotten better with that the past two days. I was a bit overwhelmed with people wanting to stop by and people calling, but things have simmered a bit now. Everything is new and we are learning new things each day about this parenting gig, it is tough at first, but we are slowly getting the hang of it and looking at her makes everything worth it.
I have to say this has been one of the most AMAZING experiences of my life. DH and I have fallen even deeper in love with her arrival and we didn't even know that was possible.
Lots of luck to all the mommies to be, enjoy every minute of your pregnancy and enjoy those first minutes that you meet your little angel, they are precious. Image Attachment(s):
