I Had My Baby Girl!

Payton lucy was born august 23rd. She
weighed 8lbs 3.5 oz. Here is how it all
went...
We went in for a scheduled induction on
wed. The 22nd at 6am. They hooked me up
to a moniter and saw that I was
contracting every 2-5 minutes so they
started me right on pitocin. I tested +
for strep b so I had an iv for antibiotics
as well. About 6 hours later they checked
me and saw that I made no progress. At
that point, I opted for the epidural
because I knew I was going to get it
anyway. Plus, getting up and going to the
bathroom was a pain in the ass. Once they
put the cathider in, I could just lay
there. :) I was progressing slowly
throughout the day. They kept turning up
the pitocen but that started to affect her
heartrate so they would turn it down.
When they turned it down, my contractions
slowed. By about midnight I was 7 cm and
my epidural ran out! Omg....Most horrible
pain I ever experienced in my life!!
There was only one anistesiologist (sp?)
on call and she was in a c-section. I
went an hour without anything and though I
was going to die. Finally, the refilled
it and gave me a little extra to make it
take affect quickly. That made me totally
numb and I could not move my right leg.
Bizzaar!
When I woke up in the morning I was only
about 8cm so we continued with the same
routine again with the pitocen. A few
hours later the doctor came in to check me
for the last time and said I was barely
9cm but at 0 station. Her head would not
drop. She was too big. After 28 hours
of labor, she was born by c-section.
I would post some pics, but I am not sure
how!

You had a looong labor! Good for you for
getting through it. My labor story was
pretty much the same as yours, but about
14 hours shorter! Lol. Congrats again,
and enjoy her while she's little!

Bor was a lot like yours. I was in labor
for 26 hours after being induced on the
23rd my son arrived on the 24th at
11:26pm. I didn't get a epidural till
about 4 hours before I gave birth (i so
wanted not to get it) but good thing I did
because my son was sonny side up and the
doc said that if I would not have gotten a
epidural I would have had a c-section
witch is something I really really didn't
want. I was 4cm when they gave me the
epidural and had contraction way over 100.
I was at 10cm and ready to push within 4
hours.
