A quick labor story. My mom came earlier then planned and I quit working two days earlier then planned. I had been great all pregnancy but by this time I was miserably uncomfortable. Turns out I was having back contractions. Mom got here on Tuesday and Wednesday I had my last dr appt. I had barely made any progress which was frustrating since I was so uncomfortable. We walked around all day but I kept having to sit bc my back hurt so bad. We read eggplant and raspberries helped with inducing labor. I ate a whole lot of both. My back was killing me but I slept great that night. Thurs morning I stood up and mom said my water broke, but I didn't believe her. I finally called the hospital and went in. They told me it hasn't broke, then the dr checked it and it ha broke. They admitted me. They told me to walk for an hour, still no progress. They started me on pitocin and I had to stay on the monitors. Back labor on pitocin is no joke. Then a new dr came on and wanted to speed it up and she increased pitocin by a lot really fast. I was miserable! So I asked for Iv pain medicine since I was not progressing. I took about an hour nap nf woke up at 10 cm. I woke up with the need to push. Got a nurse to check me and it was go time. Pushed for about 30 minutes and baby was here!!! Her umbilical cord was around her stomach so she didnt cry right away but after all that she was and is perfect!!! The hospital stay was log and boring!! But we got to talk to Corey multiple times!
Being home has been great she has been the best baby and Corey has gotten to Skype her almost every day!
My mom was here until Sunday and will be back in a week to take me to nj for Christmas! I can't wait to be home for more than a weekend!!
The dogs have been great with her too!! Corey is doing well over there too. Almost 6 weeks down and about 17 to go. It's December so another month gone! Just have to get through the holidays and it should fly.
Hope all of you are doing well!!
