Delivery Story
I noticed that before I didn't mention that she was born Friday, September 16th at 1:28am. She weighed 6 lbs. and 14 oz. and 19 inches. She was only 4 days early. The delivery was around 7 hours. I started having contractions about 1 to 2 min apart while I was eating dinner. At first I didn't want to go to the hospital, so I took a shower but they were getting worse. I got to the hospital and I was only one centimeter and I was completely effaced, so they decided to brake my water. The funny part was that the next morning I was supposed to get induced. Well the doctor told our families that it usually takes about an hour for each centimeter. I was only one, so it would take around 9 hours for me to be dilated all the way. The doctor told them that they should go home. I was still having contractions about every minute. By the way, at first, contractions are not supposed come that fast until you are almost complete!! The pain was so bad, that I told jason I wanted an epidural. The nurse said that I needed to wait until I was 3 centimeters. In my mind I was thinking Ok I can do two more hours. An hour later she came to check me, I was already 3 centimeters. The epidural was amazing. I could still feel my contractions that were still every minute, but I felt so much better. By the way I didn't feel the needle from the epidural because I was having a contraction when it was happening. So after that, maybe three hours later, the nurses come to check on me. Everyone had left by then and I was complete!!! I couldn't believe it!!! I was so excited. Jason called his parents and mine. The nurses helped me push for an hour before calling the doctor. When the doctor came I only push a few times and Leiahna came into this world!!! It was such a great experience!! Jason was so supportive. I was so proud of him! I was scared that he was going to faint, but he did great!!
