Oni's lil sister!!
I'll give yall the birth story, being that
the pics are taking a while to upload
because of the video.
Well, as yall know, I woke up Thursday
having cramps. I called Baron and he got
here at like noon.
We all ate, hung out, and headed to the
hospital for around 2.
I got there at 2.30, and didn't get seen
until 3. At 3pm I was 5cm, -2 station.
They took my blood and offered me the IV
portal. I let them take my blood, but
refused the portal.
They hooked me up to the monitors and she
was looking GREAT!
SO, I let them monitor her for 30 mins,
and told them I wanted to walk. SO I
walked around the hospital for about 45
mins. I had my 2 best friends with me.
I had my mom, baron's mom, Oni, Katie,
Nicole, & Katie's mom in the room for
my entire labor. But Only Nicole, Katie,
and Baron stayed for the birth.
Anyways, at about 5pm, my contractions
were coming every minute, minute & a
half.
She ckecked me and I was 8cm.
So, I walked around for another 30 mins,
and decided I needed to be in the bed, so
I could focus.
The pains got SOOO intense. I told the
girl I wanted to get in the shower. She
checked me before she let me get up, and I
was at 9cm! (within 30-35mins)
I got in the shower, and was in there for
about 3 mins when a different nurse came
in and said I had to get out of the shower
because she didn't want me delivering in
there. I was LIVID!!
So I dried off and got back in the bed.
At this time, I wasn't able to stop myself
from pushing. My water hadn't broken yet.
The Dr came in and checked me. He said I
barely had a rim left and he wanted to
break my water. I refused to let him use
the amnio hook, so he dug around in there
and it broke.
Of course, there was LOADS of thick
merconium.
I started pushing at 6.10pm.
She came out at 6.18pm!
When he saw her he said "well, I think we
definately had the dates WRONG. We should
have stuck to the Feb 12 due date!"
He gave her to the PED team and they
suctioned her lungs.
I didn't tear at all. And they gave her to
me IMMEDIETLY after suctioning her to
breastfeed. She did GREAT!! She's a
PRO!!!
It was a very intense, fast, labor! Oni
came in and met her MINUTES after, and was
SO excited!!! She loves her sooo much!!
