Bailey was a 32 hour labor! 32 hours! I went in for my weekly checkup..they did an examine and told me I was at 1cm...Bailey wasn't due for 2 weeks...I knew I could walk around like that forever. Got back to work and started having pains. Called the office to let them know..pains were 6-7 mins...went to dinner (it was hubby's birthday)..pains are about 5 mins...went to hospital around 8:00pm...still at a 1...after walking around the hospital God knows how many times...we got sent home! Come back when you can't stand it!
At home, sleep was a joke! I was in serious pain! Crying..miserable. But pissed off because they sent me home! So about 5:00am, we get up, get dressed, get in the car. Wait! I still dont' want to go to the hospital. I made my husband drive around town for an hour before I let him take me. We get to the hospital, I'm in tears. Check me..I'm only at a freakin 2cm!
Pitocin, pitocin, pitocin! EVIL EVIL EVIL!!!! Demerol was all I had for pain!
Around 3pm, we started to push. Pushed for an hour! NOTHING! OH, wait, your swelling really bad, so let's STOP! More Demerol...drug induced haze..blacking out...an hour later...more pushing...pushing...pushing! 3 hours later! He's born! I have no idea how..I was so physically exhausted! Spent several days in the hospital because I was so completely drained!
He was perfectly normal!
KAT - was a week late..and not showing any signs of coming out! We induced the week before Christmas! (No way was I going to risk spending Christmas delivering a baby!)..No epidural! More Pitocin! Stadol is your friend! Labor was a breeze! 5 hours! Pushed 3 times! More Stadol after delivery! Did I mention how nice Stadol is!
Her delivery was such a great experience!
