FINALLY;Ailea's birth story...
I had scheduled to get induced on July 7, 2009 [Due Date was July 4th]..Checked-in to hospital 7amISH...I was 40wk, 3days....and was still dilated at a fingertip. They started pitocin around 830..was having minor contractions all morning that I wasnt feeling. Around 1pm Doc came in and stretched me from a 2 to a 3..and broke my water. [OUCH] They noticed that baby had a bowel movement..and said things should speed up since they broke the water..I started feeling contractions but kept calm & took long breathes through them, I managed to survive for about 30-45 minutes until they became much stronger & longer..30sec-1min long almost every 1-2minutes..OUCH! About 2pm, I asked for the epidural after crying my way through the last 15minutes. I felt like such a big baby...the epidural took affect around 2:30-2:45ish...even then i was feeling slight contractions. It took some time for the epidural to kick in, like...20-30minutes. I was feeling nauseous & miserable, I was in&out of napping..i reached a 4c around 3ish..they also had to give me the oxygen mask due to baby's activity. Nurse came back around 4:50pm and I was a 6c ..still feeling out of it..but anxious at the same time..I was texting/updating myspace&facebook [LOL] to keep myself distracted but at the same time I started feeling gassy and bloated-like..when the nurse came back in around 5:30..she asked how I was feeling and I mentioned the gassyness..She said, No..you shouldn't feel gassy..went to check me & said I was fully dilated and the gassy sensation I was feeling was probably the pressure..The epidural was still in affect..from there eveyrthing started going by fast..Doc came in and said baby is right there and all I needed to do was PUSH! ..I gave 3 good pushes in the matter of 2minutes and out came BABY!! I saw the whole thing..baby, umbilical cord..was even able to snap my own pix of daddy cutting the cord..I was shaky, i guess from the epidural and was crying...tears of happiness!!!
Ailea Nicky arrived at 5:54pm weighing 6lbs 15oz, 21inches long!!
