Hi ladies! My son was born a day after his due date. Nov 4th at 3:09am. Not exactly the birth experience that I was wanting but he is healthy and that all that I wanted. Although I still have what if's in my mind I try not think about it b/c I start to get depressed. On Monday of that week I had a visit with the doc and after my check I felt very crampy all day. Some of the cramps were really strong expecially that night. I think I had about 3 hrs sleep that night. Woke up Tues morning and told DH that maybe it was a good idea to stay home that day b/c I could feel contractions coming and going all through the night. Nothing happened Tues but about 1:30am Wed my contractions had gotten pretty regular about 5min apart. We were off to the hospital got there at about 2:00 Wed and i was happy that the nurses were letting me do my thing. They would monitor that baby and the contractions for about 20 min and they would let me walk (they did not let me eat however and I do think that affected me) Long story short labored for about 17 hours. At about my 13th hour my 5th nurse (that how many shifts went by) said that my doc was considering pitocin to strenght the contraction I was so exhausted, hungry and afraid at this point that I said okay but if they were doing pitocin that they were also doing an epi. My contractions already felt intense to me so I was afraid of what the pitocin induced ones would feel like that I had to get an epi to get through it if not physically mentally. So both things were adminstered and at about 2:30 am thurs I started to push Julian was born at 3:09 am. My stitches afterwards were the worse. I just saw the doc stitch and stitch and he wouldn't stop at about 3:50 he finally said that he was given up on try to stitch everything. He said that the baby's head was in position for so long that it made me swell up and every stitch that he did would just make a new tear. So he put a pack in me and said that the lateration that he left were small one and that they would heal on there own. A week later and I can still barely walk 
so not exactly what I had in mind but an experience that I will never forget b/c I got my son out of it
