I thought it would be fun to share the stories of the day/night your children were born.
Here's mine...
My doctor scheduled my delivery because I was 5 cm dialated and I was on bed rest. I had gone into labor three times before and they had to stop it because it was too early and because Mia was still too small. I went in to the hospital the night before because they wanted to monitor the baby for a while before they started the induction. My mom and my sister spent the night with me. We had the best time! We were all too excited to sleep! They finally started the induction at 8am. All seemed fine at first. I was still laughing and having a good time. My water broke at 8:30 and I was still ok. I really was not in any pain then all the sudden it hit me. I have never screamed for drugs like that in my entire life! They could not give me the epidural because the "guy with the good drugs" (don't know how to spell the technical name so we will just refer to him as "the guy with the good drugs") was assisting with an emergency c-section. So I had to wait, still at 5 cm and it was 10 am. My dad was telling me to breath and I finally had just had it with him and I yelled, "What do you know, you've never had a baby before". My sister high tailed it out of there the first time I mentioned pain. I started begging for my mom and aunt to go find my husband so that I could kill him for doing this to me (we were seperated at the time and he was no where to be found even though he knew about the date of delivery).
They finally came in at 11 am, I was so ready! They checked me, I was still at 5 cm and they gave me the epidural. It worked great for all of 10 minutes, then I felt cramps on the right side. They figured that I had a "hot spot". The guy with the good drugs came in again and gave me a shot, it did nothing, it was 11:30 am, they decided to check me again on the off chance that I was ready to deliver and guess what.. I was at 10cm and she was crowning! They rushed and got everything ready yelling the whole time for me not to push (oh I wanted to push so bad!). My doctor was in the middle of a delivery in the next room, I had to wait for her to finish. I was in hell! She finally got there at noon and Mia was born at 12:10, three pushes and she was out! We got it all on video (from above the bed) and the look on the doctors face still makes me laugh! Mia wanted out BAD!
She was beautiful.. 7lb 1oz and 19 inches long. She had a full head of jet black hair and the biggest eyes I had ever seen!
