Pregnant after 35

My baby boy is here!

Hi everyone!  I'm back home after having my baby boy, Peregrine Joseph, on Wednesday 7/24 and he was born at 7:24 pm!  I woke up on Tuesday morning and just felt "different" and knew it was time for labor.  After I started feeling the patterned contractions I called my doula.  She was in with another client so she called in her back up doula.  Luckily, we clicked right away.  I labored at home for 16 hours and it was a somewhat surreal, wonderful and peaceful experience.  We decided to go into the hospital when my contractions were about 3 minutes apart.  Unfortunately, the minute I got into the hospital my mindset changed and I just didn't want to be there and I wanted to be back home.  My labor got much harder and I tried to focus and regroup for 3 hours, but then ended up asking for the epidural.  I was 4 cm dilated upon admission to the hospital so had a ways to go before being complete.  I was given pitocin after not progressing after several hours.  Eventually I got there and then after 1 hour 15 min of pushing my baby boy arrived!  Out of the 36 hour labor, the pushing was the easiest part and that really shocked me.  I am in love and he's wonderful!  I'll see if I can get a picture up soon.  Thanks for all the support and love on here.  You guys are the greatest!
