Long Overdue Birth Story
On 12/18 I went to the dr's for my regular checkup, I wasn't in the best of moods since I was a few days late and I was up all night with contractions that ended up going away that morning. When I got to the dr they did an NST and sono and when she checked me I was 4cm dilated. I had been 4 cm for over a week so I wasn't expecting anything to happen on its own. The dr must of seen how miserable I was and said to come back in a few hours and she would re check me and if I was dilated anymore than she would send me to the hospital and break my water. So I drove back to work when I got to work I started having some contractions but I figured they would just go away like they did the night before. About an hour later the contractions starting getting really intense and they were 2 mins apart. I called the dr and she told me she would meet me at the hospital. When I stood up to leave work that is when my water broke!! Driving to the hospital was a blur, I had some severe road rage because the contractions were like a minute apart at that point. When I got to the hospital 20 mins later DH was pissed at me because I didn't let him pick me up at work I just told him to meet me at the hospital, oh well. When I finally got into a room the nurse checked me and I was 8cm! At that point the contractions were one on top of another and I started throwing up which was not a nice experience. My dr walked into the room a few mins later and I said I wanted an epidural, she said sure just let me check you first then all of a sudden I was like forget it I need to push now. She checked me and sure enough his head was right there. She quickly got into her scrubs, told me to push and he was out in one push. From start to finish my labor was 2hrs and 40 mins I couldn't believe how fast it was.
West Michael was 8lbs 15ounces 22 1/2 inches long he's beautiful and I feel so blessed.
