hi all you guys. I will start by saying that I have a cracked sacrum and thatis why I have not been able to make my post up untiln ow. I had d/h type a few private e-mails a few days ago as I dictated but that was it.
On the 14th of Oct I went in to the dr for my regular visit and my temp and b/p were WAY TOO HIGH. I gained 8 pounds of fluid in 7 days as well.
I then went for a stress test. I was 6 days over at this point. Baby was fine inside though.
Showing no signs of labour they were going to induce. then they decided to just have me arrive back in the AM and decide after a long sleep if the bp is still too high....not good as baby can get lack of oxygen and be stressed.
I arrived with hubby & mom at 8am and was induced and ready to go home at about 10. We took it easy and I had back labour every 5 min for most of the day but nothing to complain about in the least and we just carried on as in a regular day.. nothing labourish at all. I was to return to the hospital at 3:30 for a second induction....BUT at 2pm I was in the bath and they started to come faster and last longer. DH dressed me after helping me out oft he tub. We got ready and were on the way to the hospital as we drive so slow though the school zones ( 4 of them) and a huge funeral mass! By the time we got to the hospital is was 3:15. Admitted by 3:30
DH parks in the no parking handicap parking with the truck while mom lets me out of her car. we took 2 vehivcles as there were lots of picking up and dropping off going on....dh takes me in the hospital and my mom takes off. She needed to go get my middle son from the ferry ( spent the night with papa) and then she had to meet the bus as dh's mom arrived in town at he same time...
Mom gets the other child from the neighbours home and dh's mom then takes them all back to our house...and leaves for the hospital again. Poor MIL- instant baby sitter! lol.
Mom arrives back at the hospital about 4pm as I go into very active labour and the bag of waters and my show erupts all atthe same time!. Hubby keeps saying don't look and mom nearly faints!
I was begging for drugs and was "apparently ony 4cm" according to the nurse. the dr. arrives about 3 minutes later, checks and I am 8-9 cm. Still begging for drugs I am told it was too late. I scream evern louder for ANY type drugs!!
Remember that the first baby was 18 hours and the 2nd was 26.......so when they say I still have 1cm to go I am thinking that means another at least 10 hours! lol
the dr asks me to speak to him and I say no I am busy and can't he see I am in labour! heheh
I am on my side like a wild boar at this point.
As he turns me over to see if I am yet at 10cm (just2 min had passed since last checked) and the baby is crowning. 1 push for the head, one for the shoulders/body and one for the placenta...
his head was like a c-section baby. No crowning at all since it happened so fast.no drugs except nitrous oxide( sp)- laughing gas.........
I will say though that having something to compare it to that I would have taken the longer labour and the epidural than the shorter one with non. ThatI am very serious about.
So- we got there at about 3:30 and he was born at 5:34 pmon October 15th 2003@!
Now for the hard past..trying to post pictures. anyoneknow how??? I will try to get it into my signature for you all.
YOU GUYS...I CAN'T SEEM TO GETTHE PICTURES IN IT...CAN SOMEONE HELPME. I HAVE LIKE 12 PICS I WANNA SEND AT LEAST ONE TO YOU GUYS!
