Labor Story

My labor story! (:
my turnnnnnnnn.
Okay so I was geting up to fix my pillows
'cuz my back was hurting and I felt a gush
come out. I didn't mind 'cuz I thought it
was plain ol' discharge or something. So
I go to the banyo 'cuz it felt like I had
to take a caca .. But nothing came out.
Then when I wiped there was like peachy
fluid with some blood. -- 500
i laid back down and asked my grandma what
it felt like when her water broke and if
it was only a little, 'cuz I expected much
much more fluid to gush out. Then I
started feeling contractions so I got my
hospital bag.. Called al and we left.
530
got to the hospital at 6 and at 630 they
gave me a room. I started feeling really
the contractions stronger but I wasn't
like..Complaining, I just tried not to
think about it.
They checked me and I was 5 cm dialated
already, the nurses were shocked and said
I was lucky, since this is my first baby
and I was already 5cm.. She was saying
how usually other patients come in and
they're only like a finger tip dialated.
So they start my iv. Okay let me tell
you.. That is the worst shot of all next
to the epidural. The epidural
suuuuuuuuuuucked! It hurt. Whoever says
the epidural does not hurt are lucky
biznitches 'cuz that caca huuuuuuurrrt. I
moaning like omg..Is it over? I could
feel it comming in my spine and crap and
blah. It sucked.
So after that I was dead numb. It was
hilarious trying to move 'cuz I couldnt..
At all. I felt nothing.
So I slept..And then at like 130 I was
already 9cm. I had bulging membranes but
the bag wasn't fully broken so they broke
it for me.
I slept more .. Then umm I think around
245 something they brought me to the
delivery room t oget started on the
pushing. I was pushing for a little
bit..Just umm .. Pre pushing I guess?
Cuz of the contractions. They started
getting really painful..And I was laying
on my side and I was like omg I can't do
this.. My back hurts. So I was like call
the nurse 'cuz my back hurts so much.
They gave me oxygen from pushing so much
and I felt like I couldn't breathe 'cuz my
back was hurting. So they switch me onto
my back and my legs are up on the thingers
and i'm pushing away. The doctor comes
and he cuts me and everyones yelling push
push push. It was great.. I felt nothing
at all and I was just pushing away. It
was soooo easy. I remember 5 strong
pushes and she was out. I don't even
remember what happened.
So at 357 pm kaila angela nipal is born.
8lbs flat and 19 and a quarter inches.
They lay her on me and I just remember
crying. Like..Wow ..That's my baby. I
was just crying and blah yeah. I'm such a
baby.
The most painful part of the delivery was
the placenta..He was like..Wow..I dunno
but my doctor was pushing on my tummy so
hard. It hurt so much I was screaming my
ass off! Yeah you'd think i'd be
screaming while im delivering the baby not
the placenta but that caca hurt.
So I started having a panic attack for
some reason. I was freaking out and was
like having a seizure..I couldn't stop
shaking and screaming and crying, so they
gave me a shot to put me to sleep. I was
so drugged up asking the most stupid
questions..Hahahaha.
The worst part about giving birth is the
stitches. Cuz wow. Mine hurt so much. I
can't get up or aanyyyyyyyyyyything. I
feel like a bad mom 'cuz I make al get up
and check on her and hold her and
everything. But blah. It sucks. Damn
stitches.
I think that's pretty much it. I can't
sit for long 'cuz it hurts. I'll be back!
With pictures! Promise!

Congrats, kai! I'm more scared of labor
than anything else and it really helps to
hear what other girls went thru instead of
having everyone tell me their horror
stories about what they or some friend of
theirs went through.
I loved how you said you cried when they
laid kai on you. I know i'm gonna cry
and think the same thing when it's my
turn.
Thanks for the labor story and congrats!

Congrats ka, im glad everything went okay,
and you have a beautiful precisous little
angel there. She is adorable. How did
the birth certificate and everything go.
Im glad it all worked out for you. The
stitches is the episotomy that will hurt
for a little not to long though just make
sure you do the sitz baths and stuff they
really help. Did they give you some
whitch hazel pads to help also? Well I
hope everythng goes well for you both hun.
Good luck to being a mommy you have a
long road ahead of you.

Kaaaaaaa remember I was sooo scared about
that. And you told me it was just a
little prick, and I felt so happpy. Now
im frickin freaking scared. Well you
lived, and I will too I guess. Im sorrry
you hurt now. I would take all the pain
away if I could. But those are your
battle wounds for your little girl, shes
so...Angelic. I showed my mom her picture
and she was like 'omg she is so cute' and
for like a hour she kept saying 'your
friends little baby is so cute huh shell,
she must have had dark hair huh, does she
have dark hair, her baby has alot of hair
huh' I was like ya mom, sshhhh.
