Max was born on April 7th at 6:05 pm. This one was much faster but I think they do tie for drama.
I went to the hospital at 9:00 am suspecting that my water was leaking. I was pretty sure they would send me back home but instead found myself admitted and hooked up to an IV instead with the promise of Pitocin since there no contractions. Around noon my doctor announced me 1 and long and ordered Cervidel- to thin out the cervix. That's where things started spinning out of control
At 1 pm they placed the Cervidel in.
At 4 pm I was 4 cm and breathing heavy
At 5 pm I was hardly breathing through contractions every 30 sec and I screamed for an Epidural
They refused to check how dialated I was
AT 5:30 I was given an Epidural and felt the urge to push
Now they decided to check me and tell me I was 10 cm
There was no urge to push any more, there was really nothing below my waist
Poor Max got distressed from all the drama so to speed up the delivery they tried to suck him out.
To ease things even more they had to cut me - I couldn't care less- I saw the size of the scissors and just thanked God for Epidurals.
Max was born at 6:05.He was doing great.
My blood pressure was 70 over 20 and my legs felt like rubber.
Fast forward two days later ( no need to comment on hospital food and service) I came home to my other baby who was spending quality time with grandma.
She was wearing 3 mos blue pants and thriving on pizza and chinese leftovers. God, I missed her so much.
I am hoping I will survive tonight and may be even get some sleep.
