Raeleigh's labor & delivery story! ♥

Well I was admited wed (40 weeks exactly) at 3pm to start cervidil to try and dilate me to a 3 so I could have water broken and start pitocin... well when I was checked Thursday morning there was absolutely no change.  So I then I had the option to go home for a couple days and see if I had a late reaction to cervidil or I could make an executive decision and have her taken by csection.. seeing as her weight was estimated at 8.6lbs at 37 weeks, and dr said she was veryyyyy healthy, I choose to get my baby outta there!! So at 630 am they said the operating room had an opening for 730!! So I was cleaned up, hubby was put in scrubs, I recieved a spinal block (uncomfortable but totally awesome.. couldnt feel or move at all but got feeling back within hour or two of surgery) and then nurse put in a catheter (which i didnt feel at all do to spinal!)  At 818am Thursday morning (5.1.14) my angel was born. She is absolutely PERFECT. I am actually recovering great from csection! Nurses are all surprised by the small amount of pain meds I feel necessary to take.  My princess is asleep with me right now and I cant stop smiling!!!!! Hope all you ladies have an AWESOME labor and delivery!  Good luck ladies

My dr actually said afterwards he was very happy my "mommys intuition" was to get the csection because she is so big and her head and shoulders were so big he seriously doubts a vaginal delivery would have been successful!
