Sorry it took so long to post but when you have a little one they keep you busy!On August 30th, DH and I went to my parents for a few hours and then went to his parents. We left his parents house about 2:00am. We went straight to our house and went to bed about 2:30am. About 3:00am i woke up uncomfortable. I couldnt sleep at all for some reason. At 6:00am on the dot I started getting some weird cramps in my lower stomach and then in my lower back. I thought it was just in my head because i was so ready to have her. They came EVERY 7 minutes. I called my mom about 6:30am and told her and she told me that i needed to keep timing them. They kept comin every 7 minutes. Next thing i know at 7:00am they went form every 7 minutes to every 4 minutes. I was like "what in the heck happened to 5 & 6?" I called my mom back up and she told me to go straight to the hospital. Of course i didnt want to. I went to the room and told DH and he went back to sleep(so i thought). I then called my mother in law and she told me to take my butt to the hospital. (I didnt want to cause i HONESTLY didnt think it was the real deal!) When i got off the phone DH came out and sat in the living room with me for like 10 minutes. Once he realized that i wasnt playin that they were commin he asked if we had time for him to get a shower. I told him he did cause i didnt think it was the real deal. After he got out i went a head and got one!lol. While in the shower i got 2 contractions that stopped me in my place. When i got out of the shower i seen DH running from one end of our place to the other grabbing the hospital bags, etc.! Finally i got ready and we loaded up. on the way there i was askin him to turn around he told me to "Shut up and just sit there". I finally shut up. Once we got there around 9:00am, i WALKED all the way up to the Labor and Delivery floor(of course stoppin every contraction) When i got there they made me change checked me and I was 6-7cm and 70% efface. They made me walk from one room to another and I went to 7-8cm within 1 minute! Once the put all the IV's in me (H2O,Group B antibiotics,Nubane(spelling?) Because they put all them Ivs in me my labor slowed DOWNNNNNN. They couldnt keep Natalie's heart rate so they had to insert 2 things that kept up with her heart beat in me.(one attached to her head and one that went around her) . At that time they also broke my water!Two hours later they gave me Patosin(spelling?). That deff. brought on contractions again!! The nurse came in and asked me at 9cm if i wanted an epitural. (the only reason why i got one is because she asked me!!) I went ahead and got the epidural and next thing i know the contractions went from my lower stomach and back to my Crotch! (lets just say i liked it ALOT better in my lower stomach!) Finally i told the nurses that i needed to push! I got half of her head out and then they told me to STOP! I started freakin out cause it hurt so bad!!! I just wanted to push her big head out! FINALLY the midwife got dressed and then they told me i could push again. At 1:44pm on August 31st, 2009 I gave birth to a baby girl Named Natalie that weighed 7lbs 60z and 20 inches long! I pushed Natalie out in 3 pushes! Labor is not as bad as they say it is, i promise! The only thing that sucks is complications! I didnt cry nor scream one time. (although they did say that im good at maintainin pain!) I was in labor for 7 hours and pushed for less then 30 minutes!
