My birth story

I woke up with contractions and some bloody discharge (brownish pink) thought they were BH so i sent my husband out the door to work and told him to keep his phone on today in case. I laid back down with my 1 1/2 year old Sophie. A contraction comes and i felt a weird sensation, and hear a pop, and swoosh a gush of water. Got up told my sister in law and mother in law. Hop in the shower for a rinse get in the van and start timing my contractions. (Hospital is a 40 minute drive) my husband was notified and on his way.. as I'm timing they're 3 minutes apart. Finally get to the hospital at 8:41am in a lot of pain begging for any kind of pain meds!!! I felt the need to push so the nurse checked me i was 4/5 cm. The nurse leaves to go get everything to start iv fluids, the urge to push gets stronger with each contraction. Nurse comes back and checks its time to push! Doctors come in and she hurry and does my iv fluids and I'm just laying there begging for pain meds... she looks at me and says honey your going to have to push this baby out with no pain meds, its to late for that! Im freaking out screaming in pain i start pushing and had him out in 5/10 minutes. Baby Alejandro was born at 9:34 am today 11/21/2013 weighing 8lbs 6oz 20.6 in long. At 39weeks 2 days. The umbilical cord was around his neck tight and he pooped in the womb, had to have monitoring for a few hours but he is now snug in my arms sleeping :)
