Our Princess

Delivery Day

39 wks 5 days

Well as you guys have all been waiting for, details. So on Tuesday Aug. 11, 2009 I checked in to the hospital at 8:00pm. They stared me on a cervix softener the whole night and nothing really happened except I dilated to 2cm. The next morning around 8:00am they started me on pitocin(if that's how you spell it) and then the Dr. came in and broke my water(which was the weirdest feeling) after that things started happening so fast the contractions came closer together and so much more stronger. Around 12:00pm I couldn't take the pain any longer so I got an epidural, about that time I was dilated to 4 cm. After the epidural kicked in I got to take a nap for two hrs until I woke up in pain and feeling so sick. First thing I thought is, you are not supposed to feel anything once you get the epidural, and i was feeling every contraction, second, I felt so sick I had to throw up(which I did). So i called the nurse to see what was going on, once she came in she checked me and was like oh my gosh you are already 8cm dilated so she said I will come back in and 1 1/2 hr to check you again. Well 30 min went by and I felt so much pressure like I needed to push. So I called the nurse back in to see what was going on. She came in and checked me again and she said ok you are ready to push I was already 10 +2 cm dilated. Every thing happened so fast I couldn't believe that it was already time to push I was so anxious and nervous to finally get to see the little princess I have been carrying in me for 9 months. Well after a whole hr of pushing Brooklyn Jane arrived at 4:43pm.
