I had this posted under birth stories but I thought I would move it here since I think it seems better on this board.
Here is my birth story:
I was induced on May 12th 2004 we got to the hospital at 5:30am. They set up the IV which for some reason I almost passed out when she did it. Normally I am fine but for some reason it got to me. They started the pitocin around 7am and they contractions started. They came in at 9am and broke my water. I wasn't really feeling much pain yet. I was soooo scared of pooping during labor so I kept going the bath room trying to get everything out before I got my epidural. :blush I finally started to have harder contractions that started to really hurt around 11:30am. They gave me something in the IV for pain and called for the epidural. I was very much afraid of the epidural by the time he got in there though I was having contractions very quickly and painfully. When he did the epidural it didn't hurt at all!! I was so surprised but it was really nothing at all. The contractions were much worse. After that I felt sooo much better. I stayed feeling good tell about 2pm when I was about 6cm by them and felt like I had to push. I wasn't completely effaced yet either so I couldn't push and it hurt so bad not to be able too. They gave me more drugs in the epidural but nothing was helping I was in pain. Then at 3pm the doc came in and checked me. He said if I stayed at 7cm for another hour we were going to do a c-section because that probably meant the baby was to big to come down anymore. Plus my contractions were slowing down a lot too. At that point I didn't care I just wanted the baby out and the pain to stop. I was shaking uncontrollably too after I got the epidual all the way tell hours after I had Jake. At 4pm he came in checked me and said I had not progressed anymore so it was c-section time. They prepped me for the surgery and took me back. I was shaking so bad it hurt. I was so happy to not feel anymore contractions though. Then at 5:40pm they pulled Jake out of me. He was making no sound and of course I was worried. Come to find out his cord was around his neck 2 times. They only let me see him about 3 seconds and rushed him to the nursery because of the cord issues. I was then sent to recovery for a few hours and then took up to my room. I got to pass the nursery and see Jake for about 30 seconds through the window. We kept waiting and waiting in my room and still no baby. After 5 hours I was getting very mad. They finally came in and told us something was wrong with him and he wasn't breathing well and they wanted to take him to NICU and keep him on monitors. I begged to see him so they brought him in for 5 seconds and let me hold him. It was so hard letting him go again and not knowing how he was or when I would see him again. He weighed 9lbs 1 oz and was 21 3/4 inches long. He was a big boy!! And a good head of dark brown hair. The next day I was told by my doctor that I couldn't see him until I walked, at least 4 times I started balling crying. How could they keep me from seeing him. I kept saying why can't I go in a wheel chair. After my doc left the nurse told me as long as I felt okay I could go down in a wheel chair no problem. Finally about 10am I got to go down and see the little sweet boy we call Jakob Brian Bolyer. It gave me such a rush of energy to see him and hold him finally. At that time he wasn't on the tube yet so we also got to feed him. I was so much in love!! After that I started pumping milk so he would get no more formula that they were giving him. I had no problem getting up and walking to see him 4-10 times a day either even the day after my c-section. He have me the energy to do it, I would have ran a mile to see him if I had too. I love him so much!!
