at Ephrata Community Hospital in Ephrata, PA
We have had quite an ordeal getting to this point. We started Monday the 2nd at 6AM with contractions 5 - 10 minutes apart. After 9 hours she was checked and was swollen with no dilation. She got antibiotics to take out whatever was causing the swelling. We then went back to the birth center at 11:30 that night because she was in a lot of pain. She had just begun dilating at that point. A long night and the next day passed where we got to about 5cm. The decision was then made to transfer to the hospital when the next midwife came on duty. We left for the hospital at 11PM on the 3rd. By 1AM Sara had an epidural and was feeling no pain. When several more hours passed and she still had not relaxed enough it was time to resort to the C section. 53 hours of labor was enough and Sara has no regrets that we made the decision that we could not have a natural birth. The surgery went well and Sara and the baby are recovering at the hospital, we are coming home on Saturday if all goes well. I have been spending most of my time there as well.
