Labor and induction were traumatizing. I ended up with a bad epi (wet tap) that only numbed me down to the top of my hips. So far no soinal headache...I felt everything in my vaginal area... After 8 hours of drugs to induce labor, I wasn't progressing past 3cm and my cervix was too high to reach. After high doses of pitocin all day, my water eventually broke and I went from 3cm to 10cm in 2 hours, feeling every bit of pain. After screaming for help, the anesthesiologist decided to redo my epi. I cried the whole time and baby crowned as he was finishing. I barely made it in my back when the nurse went to get doctor and her head came out. The epi kicked in and I laughed her out with no pushes as the dr ran in the room. No tears and no pain. She's a perfect sugar baby doll!
Had to stay in the nicu overnight for low sugars but she's good in my room now! Never want to experience that kind of labor again...
Mobile won't let me upload so I'll have to add photos later! Added!!
Isaac William arrived on 4/18, unexpectedly a day before schedule csection at 36w3d. He is currently in the NICU for breathing support via CPAP. After having a chance to rest and process the chaos, I'll share the story, but for now, we are happy he is here.

We had a fast and intense labor but we both are doing well. She has a small tongue tie so breastfeeding is painful at the moment but we are working on it.
We are waiting on our discharge papers and are very ready to go home.
And here is their big sister loving on one of HER babies

We love him and his hair! Will share birth story soon.
First painful contraction around 3:30;
arrived at the hospital 6:15ish;
Cervical check in triage revealed I was already 8cm;
Stood up to get into wheelchair and my water broke;
Got wheeled to L&D and had to push;
Not enough time for the epidural because after pushing through 4 contractions, Rowan was born.
I got my all natural birth that I wasn't expecting.
We are both doing great and I will post more later!
