Isaac Andrew's Birth Story (Silvermystique13)

Silvermystique13 · June 2014

Isaac Andrew was born on June 17, 2014 at 11:33am, at 9lbs 1 oz, 1 day before his EDD.

2am: Woke up thinking I had a slow leak, and as I didn't really know what was happening, hubby suggested going back to bed.

4am: Woke up again, this time to 2 gushes, and, after wondering if I peed myself or if my was breaking, went to the bathroom and checked. Still wasn't sure, so I waited. After having a gush that I knew wasn't pee, let Hubby know my water broke and started getting ready to go to the hospital. Hubby sprang right into action, getting ready in a flash! After knocking on our roommate's door to let her know what was happening, we were all off to the hospital. Started having contractions in the car ride over, by the time we get to the hospital, it's roughly 4:30am.

4:45-5am: Checked into the birthing room.

5am-9:30-10am: Started having contractions, had 2 does of Nubain (spelling?), and finally the epidural, which felt like bliss after all of the contractions.

9:30-10am-11ish am: Slowly started to feel LOTS of pressure, finally needed to start pushing!

11ish am-11:33am : After pushing roughly 20-30 times, my little Ikey was born! I do still wish they hadn't put the mirror down, I really didn't want to watch.....

Hopefully I did this right....
