On Sunday my water broke. I sat around waiting for some contractions with none coming. I decided i should get to the L&D they check me the paper immediately so it was my water
I was long closed and cervix hard to reach so a very hard induction basocally
We decided to try cervdil. The baby didnt tolerate it welll after about 2 hrs he had lots of decells. so they took the cervidil out let me uterus rest and i contracted all night on my own getting to 2 cm and 50 % on my own
I decided to try pit in the morning of the 18th I know I progress pretty fast and hoping it would speed things up
After 3 hours I was 3 cm and 90% effaced. I asked for a epidural. the pain was so intense by then. Epidural worked awesome until 8 cm when it wore off and i felt everything. i felt so out of control but i knew this was the end and all so i held it together after slipping a few f bombs with every contraction
they checked me and i was cmplete nad they could see his head already
Now remember this was suppose to be a big baby 9 ish pounds. after 5 or 6 pushes John Charles was born weighing 6 pounds 15 oz and 19 inches long
he is nursng well (he has me pretty sore with this powerful suction lol) and is in his adorable kissaluv 0s and pretty wool. LOL
I am so in love with him and his borthers and sister adore him.

hope every one is going well

Congrats! The part about the f-bombs gave me a good laugh. I dropped so many f-bombs during pushing with ds1 I swore I wouldn't do that with this one...I was so proud I told dp "see I didn't curse this time!" he said "yes you did, this time it was GD instead of the f-bombs!"
