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!!

	Comment from bguertner » Posted Dec. 4, 2012 5:48pm Oh my goodness, so at the latest you will be holding your little girl on Thursday! I can't believe it :) and I can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures! Yay! I am doing pretty good, only 3 more weeks until I will be induced. Crazy to think that he could come anytime now. I had my 36 week appt yesterday and it wasn't my regular doctor but the one who saw me checked my cervix and said I was a fingertip dilated...whatever that means :( I am guessing that since she didn't say anything about centimeters, I am not even close to having any real dilation. Oh well! I will be checking on you in the next few days to hear your wonderful news!!! Good luck sweetie!
