Hazel Grace Michelle Zehm's Birth Story
Though officially I was in labor for 15 hours I was actually laboring for 112 hours.I went into labor on February 20th after my baby shower around 6 pm. after realizing my back pain and contractions was coming every 6-8 minutes I realized I might be in preterm labor. My husband and I head home the next day from my sister in laws and I tried to relax a little longer to see if they would go away. We went to Madigan Army Medical Center around 4 pm. I was admitted for preterm labor at 430 I was 34 weeks and 3 das pregnant. I was 4cm dilated and my waters were budging. Since I was preterm they Drs wanted me to get to 35 weeks of pregnancy or keep me pregnant as long as possible. on day 3 of labor my kidneys were starting to fail and I was on the edge of severe preeclampsia. I was then given Pitocin and my waters broken. After 2 hours of pushing my little girl Hazel Grace came into the world. 35 weeks and 1 day of pregnancy at a big 7lbs and 6oz. For being premature she did very well. It was the worst and best 4 days of my life. It was all worth the pain and frustration to have my baby girl.
