Great Stories!
We'll here are my stories there are four, so I will try to keep them short! Well I got pregnant with my first in high school! I was 20 weeks when I started to diolate! And I was put on bedrest! I went into labor when I was 24 weeks and they stoped it! Then I was put on an even more strict bedrest! Then at 27 weeks and 2 days I went into the hospital again and the I even on the mag (magnesium solfate (which is what they give to stop early labor and to stop seizures for pre-eclamptic women)this word will be use again later) was still having one contraction an hour until 3:30 a.m.on the day I turned 28 weeks! Then They were comeing almost back to back and I went from 4c diolated and 50% efaced to 7c and 100% In ten mins! They asked If I wanted an epidural, of course I said yes! They gave it to me in hopes to calm me down and slow down the labor! But the sec that I laid back down and they epidural had barely started to work he was crowning! And that was it he was born screaming! The First baby of his age to be born at that hospital breathing on his own! What a miracle! Then he had some trouble and had to have sergery and died at 18 days old!
Then my husband went into the military and we got pregnant right away! They told us that b/c we had only had our son three months before that that I would not carry this baby past 20weeks! Well they were wrong I carried to 37 and was diagnosed with pre-eclamsia and was induced! They put me on patocine to start the contractions and mag to keep me from have seizures! The labor wasn't easy, but was only 9 hours long! I got the epidural as soon as they broke my water, but that was not a good idea b/c by that time I was ready to have her the epidural had wore off not mention that I had already been pushing for two hours! Well I push for another hour and out she came! No epidural left by then and it was quite painful! She was another first baby she was the first baby to be born at that hospital face first (literally face looking strait at you as she came out)! My little girl is now 3 yrs old!
Then after my hubby came back from his first tour in Iraq we got pregnant again! Woo Hoo! Well this pegnancy was easy and was a quick labor also! I went in to my thirty week appt. and was diolated to 2c and 70% ! Well for me that was normal and they said they wanted to keep and eye on me, but there was a prob my hubby got orders to move to Ft.Campbell, Ky! Well we moved here on the 20 of Nov. and on the 26 he desided he was ready so I was 35 weeks and it was 8 hours of labor! I was so happy it was the easiest so far! We we so happy we had one boy and one girl and we were done, or so we thought! Our son Landen is now 1 yr old!
We found out that he was going to Iraq for the second time in March 05! And then much to both of our suprize we found out I was pregnant again in April! Well Let just say it was a big big suprize!
Anyway this is the most confusing one of all!
With all my other kids I normally started to diolate early as I did with this one but with all the othe babies one little contraction help even the slitest bit! I was 36 weeks when I started contracting on Wed. the 18 of Jan! I started contracting at 7p.m. I waited till they got a little closer, but they never did they just stayed spuratic, but they got more painful! So at 5p.m. on the 19th I desided to go to the hospital! Well, I was at 3c and 60%! They told me to go home and walk for two hours! I came back and I had not changed! They sent me back home and told me it would be a while and told me to try to get some sleep! Well I did and at 3a.m. on the 20th my contractions stoped! And I thought that was so strange! Well then at 6a.m. my water broke (with all the other kids they had to break my water for me) and I went back to the hospital! Well I had not started contracting again yet! Then at 12p.m. they put me on patocine to start me contracting and 6 hours later he was born! My hubby was not here for this one, and he would be disapointed b/c this one would have been the one that I would have been nicest through! Lets just say that was the best epidural of all four! So now we have had four kids and have three beautiful babies! Well that is all my stories I tried to keep then as short as possible and still get all the things that happened in there! Well It was fun! Ttyl!
