Welcome Maggie!! Congrats, Jeli!!
Holy moly it's great not to be pregnant. I'm typing from my phone so hopefully this finds all of you.
Maggie unfortunately has to spend some time being monitored tonight. She is on O2 right now and her breathing is pretty labored. She had fluid in her lungs and her O2 sat was only about 85. I was able to spend about an hour with her and then she needed to go as she was starting to lose some of her pink. I feel lost without her and sad but I think she will be back with me soon.
As far as labor is concerned...(ill post in more detail later lol) anyhoo...I left work about 3:00 because I was feeling like crap (hell of a shocker huh?). I sat at home for a while thinking that I may be feelin a bit weird. I took an EPO and wondered what else I could do to get things going. Sooooo without anyone home and, believe me, for the greater good, I did what anyone would do and did what my hubby couldn't do (since he was at work)LMAO! Now let me tell you... Trying to reach the big O was quite a task since simply existing at that point was a struggle.
Wellllll about 15 minutes later I felt my first contraction. It was weak but it had a definit peak to it. I decided to drive over to my mom's to pick up my daughter
. Apparently the fact that a baby was actually going to come out of me was an impossibility in my mind at this point lol.when I was about over to my mom's I had a huge and painful contraction for about a minute. At the same time I felt fluid flow from me.
My water never gushed out but it just continued to trickle every so often.
I had 3 contractions that were about 15 minutes apart and then 2 more that were 10 minutes apart. Mom drove me home to get my bags and meet my husband who had rushed home. By that time I had 4 contractions that were 5 minutes apart and then came the ones that were 2 minutes apart.
We headed to the hospital and I arrived to a bunch of nurses who didn't believe I was that close -LMAO until I got hooked up to the monitor. The nurse immediately went to get my doctor who was thankfully on call and she came in to check me. I was at that point a 6-7. This was about 7:15. My contractions at that point were about a minute apart. I was, or at least I felt like I was, losing it because of the pain. It felt JUST as intense as pitocin made me feel last time. I do lose control pretty easy with pain. My heart rate shot up to 125 and Maggie's was about 195. The nurses were very sweet in encouraging me to breath through it and reminded me that I did not need an epi. However and against what I had originally wanted, I asked for one.
BUT by the time he got here to give me the good stuff lol I was just about ready to push. This was about 8:40. Dr checked me and I was a 9 with an anterior lip. He went ahead and tried the epi but about 8:50 I was ready to push. I pushed 5 or so times and she was out. I felt every bit of it because the epi didn't even take effect. It was intense and I felt sorta out of body.
Maggie came peacefully into the world at 9:02. About 15 minutes later I couldn't feel my legs LMAO! No stiches at all and since they pulled the epi right out I was up in about 20 minutes having the best pee of my life. (I kid you not I peed for like a minute straight. Dh was cracking up!)
Lol I didn't mention dh much because for some very strange reason, my absolutely wonderful husband pisses me off when I am in pain. Lmao! He will try and make me laugh or tell me he loves me and tries to hold me, but I feel the rage of hell coming through me and end up telling him to be quiet! Lol. The sweet man looked longingly at me until it was time to push and then came to hold me hand and leg. He was wonderful...
I'm so happy right now but still worried about my little girl...terrified that she and I will not bond (I know this isn't the case) but still. I should be sleeping nicely right now but my mind is with her. I will try and update in the morn! i wish all of you wonderful births. If this is anyone elses second child like mine, it's amazing how they just fit right into your heart. It's like she's been here for years.
