Last friday evening my husband and I decided to dtd to try and induce labor. A little while after, I started having bad hip and lower back pain. I called l & d after 4 hours after the pain started to see if I should be seen. The woman said to come in and get checked. We arrived at the hospital around 1:00am, I was hooked up to the monitors and turns out I was having contractions every 4-5 minutes. We ended up being sent home at 4:30am Saturday morning because I wasn't progressing past 2cm. Saturday i was crampy and in pain and sunday I started timing and they were consistently 5 min apart so we went in again. We were there from Sunday around 10:00pm to Monday around 4:00am. We went home again because I wasn't progressing. I slept from 5-7am and then got up and went to my already scheduled dr appointment. She stripped my membrane and gave me an option to go in later that day to rupture my membrane to get things going since i had been in early labor since friday. I decided to go to the hospital around 3:00pm on monday for them to break my water. The fore bag broke right after my nap around 1:00pm so we went in and got checked in to labor and delivery. They broke the rest of my water at 4:00pm and contractions started getting worse so after 4 hours I got an IV pain med and when that wore off I got the epidural when I was at 3-4cm. A few hours later I was at 5-6cm so my mom went home and told me to call when I was at 8cm. We called her around 1.5 hours later and she got back when I was 9cm. I was stuck at 9cm for like 3 hours. My ob came in and saw me and suggested maybe c section but I wanted to keep trying for vaginal. Well I made it to 10cm and pushed for 2 hours after my epidural had worn off on one side. Baby was not coming down and my pain was intense so when my dr suggested c section, I agreed. Kailey Elizabeth was born at 12:31pm on May 20th and was 8lbs 2oz and 22 in long. She did have some mechonium and had to be rushed to get suctioned but she was fine! I could feel some pain during the c section and the pain meds they gave me made me sleepy so I was in and out if it while they were finishing up the cs. Things are going well and im just trying to recover from the cs. Kailey is such an angel and we are so in love with her!
