labor story

Well it took me a couple days to get this on here. Between being so sore and trying to get used to my first baby. Well on 7/7 i went in at 6:15 am to be induced I was only at 1cm. At 9 they started me on the pill that goes in your vagina. I forget the name of course. They check me at 4 and I'm to a 2 1/2. The Dr had to come in for a delivery at 9 so at 10 I was checked again and had gotten to a 3 so I was given low do pitacin over night. Got my epidural. BC with just the pill alone I was already having contractions a minute a part. The next morning the Dr was hoping I'd be at 5 but I was only at 4 and baby was still really high. So they bumped up the pitacin. I was checked off and on all day and only made it to 5 cm. Then my little one got stressed out because of the forced contractions and her heart rate started dropping. She was already in the birth canal bit i just couldn't dilate enough. I had to go on oxygen. And they had to put water back up by her from where the had broken my water. It's called an amnioinfusion. Well after 2 more hrs and still no progression I had to have a csection. At 7:50pm on 7/8 I had a Reagan Nichole. 8lbs 7oz and 21 inches long. And a head full of brown hair. I'm so beyond blessed and in love with her. She's doing pretty good at breast feeding and haven't had any issues at all. Thank you to everyone for all the support.
