She's here!

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Thanks to every one who responded to my previous post. My OB had me schedule an induction for tomorrow and I was really not looking forward to it but lo and behold little Emily made her appearance on her own! I went into labor Saturday night for three hours but it fizzled out before the sun came up. By 5pm Sunday contractions came back in full force. I got to the hospital around 10pm at 4cm and by 11pm I was 9cm!!!!! Unfortunately Emily stayed at -2 and 9 cm for a very very long time - she just would not drop so in an effort to avoid a section I let them break my waters and give me pit. to up the contractions. I had her at 445 Monday morning with just 10 minutes of pushing (my first time I pushed for like 5 hours or something).

She's a healthy 10 pound bundle of love
