My baby story

We had our 6th baby yesterday.  A son to complete us. Giving us a total of 3 boys and 3 girls. We headed to the hospital at 7:30 for our induction.  Started our pill @ 8:30am. We reached 4 cm quickly and 80% effacement and 5 cm by noon, we had our water broke by 3pm and than I opted for an epi, not because of pain,  but because we had no child care for our kids as previously mentioned in another post as this is our rescheduled induction appt. Anyways didn't want my kids or husband stress out or being scared of my ability to breathe through contractions.  So anesthesia came in and attempted to do a walking epidural.  It was a no go, he came back and attempted 3 more times,  and again no goes each try in a new place,  by time he said its not happening I was already at 7cm. So they rushed to get me some IV pain meds called Fentanyl. It began working by my third contraction. I stalled at 7cm for a bit but made it to 9cm within the hour,  I had a second dose of Fentanyl and awaited 10 cm. By than the hormones had taken over my nerves causing uncontrolled tremors in my legs, perfectly normal at this stage, Dr. had me push and after 3 hardcore pushes he was out. He came out weighing 9.949 lbs. 21 3/4in. Long. Healthy as can be at 8:31pm

Wow congrats so many children! I am at my second pregnancy and don't think I will have more but admire people who have so many kids. My first child is a female and she was also a big baby 9.138 lbs and 19.8. I hope this second won't be as big! Congrats again! xxx
