I finally have a chance to share my baby story.
Elo.ra Gen.evieve arrived Monday March 28 at 6:45 pm at 7 lbs 14oz. A far cry from the 9+ lbs we were expecting.
We arrived at 7 am to start my inducting to find out they forgot to schedule it and were understaffed so they sent us home to return at noon. This did not go well with me but not much I could do.
They gave me oral misoprostol (sp?) At 1 pm and contractions started pretty quickly but were very manageable. We walked around and hung out until around 4:50 when my doctor checked me and broke my water. At this point I was 3-4 cm. Contractions quickly got a lot harder and by 6:05 I was a mess. The nurse checked me and I was still 3-4 cm but effacing. I decided to go for a shot of morphine. I was given that at 6:15. The next 15 minutes I spent begging for the epidural I had sworn I did not want, yelling at my dh, doula and nurse. Epidural never happened though.
Well come 6:30 I needed to push, right then no stopping it. They quickly wheeled me into the delivery room and 15 minutes later I was holding my rainbow.
My nurse delivered her as my doctor wasn't even in the hospital because 25 minutes earlier I was only 3-4 and he figured he had lots of time.
Baby did well considered how quick it was, her cord was wrapped around her neck twice and she required a shot to counteract The morphine I had had but scored perfect apgar scores.
