My Labor Story
Posted: 03-24-05 10:09am

I woke up at about 9am, my back started
killing me. Later stomach contractions
came along but they didn't hurt as bad as
my back did. My mom and my boyfriend came
with me,we went walking for an hour to
make the labor progress. It made my back
feel a lot better.
I finally went to the hospital around 1pm.
I was 4.5cm's at that point. To ease the
pain, I walked around the hospital halls.
I was smiling and laughing as I had some
family members come visit. The
contractions were a breeze. I started to
get tired of walking and wanted to rest
but lying down is the worst feeling for
back labor.
At 6cm's I got an epidural so I could get
rest for energy so I would be able to push
later on. The shot hurt and made me feel
sick to my stomach. I threw up an hour
later. They gave me some nausea medicine
and it knocked me out.
They woke me up at 6 and told me I would
be pushing by 7. After an hour of
pushing, the epidural started to wear off
so I started to feel the pain , I was
screaming at the top of my lungs from the
immense pressure in my birth canal, I
demanded that they give me a second dose,
after I got the second dose I was fine.
Finally at 8:32pm my little angel savannah
was born weighing 6 pounds 7 and a half
ounces, and was 20 inches long.
Through this whole thing andrew was right
by my side, he almost passed out once, and
I think I almost broke his hand sqeezing
it, lying there watching him cut
savannah's umbilical cord was an emotional
moment. I strongly believe that the three
of us are gonna have an amazing life
together.

Im pretty sure that im pregnant but dont
kno yet. When my little sister had her
baby boy aout a month ago she found out
that her baby was ready when she was
taking a shower because she went to wash
her vagina and she felt the babys elbow so
we had to take her to the hospital
emedietely and it her her so bad that the
pain made her pass out and they had to do
an emergency c-section because she wouldnt
wake up. It made me so worried that I
couldnt even stay with her anymore because
a lot if teens die when they have their
baby and I didnt want to be there when my
sister's monitor went flat. It was really
scary and now i'm afraid because I dont
want my baby's birth to be like that. But
I told my sister tht if it was that I want
her to do what is best for my baby, even
if it has to go up for adoption I want the
best. If you have advice for me pl
email me at
criss
y_47201@yahoo.Com
thanks, carrissa

lmao no way you could feel the elbow
without losing ur plug or water breaking
:roll:
and ummm the head comes out first usually,
not an elbow.. Hand or anything like that
lmao itd be wayyyy too late for a
c-section if you could feel the baby
coming out, you just dont shove that baby
back into you

I'll make it a lil shorter than it was
but.... On monday june 20th I had been
having cramps all day, I even posted on my
other forum that I was feeling crampy.
Anyway I went and did groceries and stuff
and came home had dinner and sat down to
watch tv. We had bought a new computer
cause my other one sucked so I decided
around 11pm to connect it, my bf was
helping and as I bent down to plug in the
comp, I heard a pop and felt a gush of
liquid run down my leg, my bf looked at me
and said "did u get shocked????" lol, I
said "no I think my water just broke" so
I go sit on the toilet and my mucous plug
and evrything came out. I called the
hosp and they said to come in. My bf
started calling people and I was like can
you call the damn taxi!!!!! Lol so we
get to the hosp around 11:30pm and they
check me and I was only 2 cm dilated but
the baby was still high so they said "you
have to have a catheter put in and stay in
bed" around 4 am I was only about 3cm
dilated and they couldn't figure out why
it was going so slow but they gave me the
epi (it was heaven!) I spent all day on
the 21st just hoping the baby would come
soon. People kept stopping by but I only
wanted my bf there so I was like can you
get these f-ing people outta here! The
nurses told them they couldn't stay!!
(yay for my nurses!) finally at 5 pm
being only 5cm the new doc on rounds did
and internal exam and said "well gee, you
have another sac that needs to be
broken"and popped my 2nd sac (the
disappearing twin syndrome thing they
said) anyway after he did that I dilated
fully by 6pm, then the sh*t started.....A
new nurse on training broke my epi machine
and they couldn't get the anestesioligist
(sp) to come cause he was in surgery, well
damn I was in pain and I was told I
couldn't push yet cause the baby was
looking out. When the doc did another
internal at 6 pm he touched the baby's
face instead of top of the head. I kept
saying I have to push and they said "no
you'll snap the babie's neck" they kept
waiting to see if he would put his head
down. So there I am fully dilated, no
epi and not allowed to push. I was
crying and my poor bf was just like what
can I do??? They gave me some other pain
medication and I said it's not working and
they gave me some more and then I barfed.
By 10pm the doc came in and said "what do
u want to do?" and I said "if you don't
get this damn kid outta me now I will cut
my own stomach open and pull him out!!!"
they froze my from the neck down, wheeled
me in for surgery and at 10:30pm my son
trey was born 8lbs, 6oz and perfect!!. I
was upset from having to have a c-sec but
so happy to see my son. It's so hard
when u have a c-sec though cause they take
the baby to be weighed and you have to
strain to see oyur baby. They finally
gave him to my bf and he brought him over
so I could kiss him. I was just crying
and crying. The doc took his time sewing
me up, my scar is nice and barely
noticeable. We called the grandparents
and by 9am the next day I was up and
walking. They kept telling me not to but
I just wanted to pee on my own so
badly-lol. The nurses were in shock
cause I had no probs getting up and around
(well I needed help standing at first) I
was home 4 days after my son was born (his
due date!)
