Emily Noelle's Birth Story

Had to be at the hospital at 6am. Dr broke my water at 8:30am. Contractions started getting intense after that...got spinal block at 10:30am (was supposed to have epi but stupid person was training and screwed up). That lasted maybe 2 hours, then every 15 to 20 mins after that they had to keep rigging me up with more numbing pain meds...dr was even by my side while I was pushing getting ready to put more in my IV just incase it wore off while pushing. Anyways, by 5:23pm I was 10 centimeters and nurse told me I was ready to push!! Jeff held one leg and the nurse held the other, I grabbed onto my thighs and pushed pushed pushed till 6:15pm when I finally heard my baby girl cry!! I exploded with emotions at that very second, bawling my eyes out and my body started shaking uncontrollably! The love I felt for my baby girl at that very second with without a doubt the most intense feeling I have ever felt, and it's done nothing but get stronger with every passing day!!!! Since the birth, I have gone thru horrible spinal headaches, with 3 blood patches. Probably the worst pain I have ever experienced! Glad to say that the 3rd one finally worked and I'm in no more pain, headache wise that is!! I would do it all over again with the same consequences just to have my beautiful baby girl with me!!

It will be the first time hearing my baby on that doppler. However, this week I am ordering my doppler to have at home. It is like 35 bucks a month.
	Comment from sydmama » Posted Apr. 8, 2012 2:41pm So you have an ultrasound on the 23rd? I can't remember if you told me or not. I heard my babys heartbeat on the ultrasound at 6 weeks, but the doppler at the doc office doesn't work until 10-12 weeks. So I finally get to hear my babys heartbeat on the doppler April 24th :-)

	Comment from sydmama » Posted Apr. 7, 2012 8:53pm I think you will be fine. Rule of thumb...the sicker you are, the healthier the baby! :-) so when I am hugging the toilet all day, I count my blessings!
	Comment from sydmama » Posted Apr. 7, 2012 9:43am Did I ever tell you that with my first two pregnancies I PUKED from 6 weeks all the way until delivery day??? I mean EVERYDAY I was miserable. Both girls. This time I am nauseous sometimes. Has to be a boy. I mean it was so bad. Anyways..... I hope you get better...but if it gets really bad, ask your doc for zofran. It will save your life lol. Saved mine. Well not literally, but it made my pregnancy Soooooooooooooo much easier. I am doing good. I keep getting super hungry, all the time. then I go to eat..... And no appetite! Pissed me off! Lol!!! I hope today is better..I have yet to eat. O_o
