Ok, I know earlier I said I wouldn't write my birth story but in the days I was overdue reading all of your helped me hugely and now I guess I want to share mine.
I went in Friday morning and cervidil was inserted. I started feeling really crampy and was on the fetal monitors but no real contractions. Then about an hour in I felt a pop and a ton of fluid. I called the nurse and she said my water had in fact broke and she figured I would go into labor fast.
Since little man's head had not descended water just kept gushing. The nurse walked me from triage to a room in labor and delivery and hooked me back up to the monitors. The cervidal fell out but I hadn't really dilated, wasn't allowed to leave the room due to being a walking swimming pool.
The contractions were manageable and close together but not really timeable. At about 3pm my Dr. came and gave me another dose of cervidal because I was still at less than three cm. The contractions were super close together but still short.
I labored all not. Finally got a shot of morphine around 4. At around five the contractions slowed. 7am Dr. comes back and says she wants to start the drip. At this point I am beyond exhausted and crying and ask for a c-section. She says no because I am making progress but she is concerned I won't be able to deliver so we're going to try the drip until the evening and if I don't progress we'll do the section.
Given epidural and drip. Slept all day. No progress. C-section at 9pm.
Little man and I struggled with latching after the section but finally got it, then my milk didn't come in.....FML. He's lost 13% of his body weight so we are in the same boat with other people who are supplementing with Formula. That was hard emotionally but at the same time a relief. We're working with herbals and a prescriptions to try get my giant boobs to work.
Anyways ladies if you finished my novel you are amazing! I had no idea how hard this would be and have so much more respect for all of you and each of the individual challenges you are facing! Keep your heads up mammas you are doing great!
