First of all I wanted to thank all you ladies for your support.....
So here's the VBAC birth story as our son was born yesterday on his due
date at 2:15 pm.
I taught a spin class on Tuesday night, got
home, and ate dinner. We went to bed early and I woke at 4/4:30 to what
I though were gas pains (bc they were in my back and hips). Well after
going to the bathroom several times and then having them get closer
together I decided that it was probably labor. We took DD to a
neighbors until DH's father could get her and head to the hospital
around 7am. By 8am I was in and checked and I was only 2cm, but 100%
and 0 station. I labored till about 12 at which time they checked me
again and I was still only 2cm. I flipped...I was in so much pain and
the contractions were just getting closer. My OB suggested that I labor
longer and then decide on the epidural so I did. He broke my water and
I was automatically 3cm. Then it got even worst and the contractions
were 1.5 min apart and every time I had one I was leaking fluid
everywhere (TMI) but I could feel myself progressing. I couldn't take
it anymore and asked to be checked again and get the epidural. Well, I
was 6 cm!! I was soooo happy and asked for the epidural. They told me
it would be 30 min bc they had to hydrate me which I almost couldn't
take. Once they put it in I didn't get much relief at all. They topped
it off and still nothing. Then my nurse said lets check you and I was
complete at 2pm. That means I went from a 3 to 10cm in 2 hours! I was
soooo happy. 5 contractions and he was out within 10 minutes. The
doctor did a very small episiotomy, but it wasn't that bad. He was
perfect at 7 lbs 11 oz (2 lbs bigger than his sister) and 20 inches. I
had a room full of students/nurses/directors/and doctors bc this was a
VBAC and it went so smoothly. I couldn't be happier with the birthing
process and am so happy with my decision to do a VBAC! Good luck to all of you
May I introduce Samuel William
