Born 6/14 at 1:07pm
9LB 5OZ
21 3/4 inches
short birth story
I woke up around 4:30 Saturday morning with contractions that were 3-4 minutes apart and too strong to sleep through. So, I got up and decided to watch some tv and wait to see if they tapered off. They were still going strong at 6, so I took a shower and decided to wake up dh and call the midwife. We got to the birth center around 7:30 am and my cntrx tapered off a bit while they gave me the antibiotics (I only did one round) and checked me, so after that we went outside and walked around on the front porch.At around 11:00, things really started going, so I decided to get in the tub. I didn't plan on using it, but the jets were really awesome for the pain. I stayed there until about 12:30 when I decided things were getting close to the end, so I crawled into bed and the midwife checked me, and said I still had a bit of a lip on the cervix, she suggested waiting to push, but I couldn't wait much longer, so she ended up having to physically hold it out of the way of the baby's head with her fingers while I pushed her head past. She was born at 1:07 pm.
