Rayden Cory B.'s Birth Story
At 39 weeks 3 days I was scheduled to be induced at 5am on Tue 1/29/13. My husband and I arrived at the hospital and I was so nervous!! I filled out all the paperwork, changed, and got my IV started with Pitocin around 7am. I was not feeling any contractions and by 9am my OB broke my water. 10am rolls around and I was really feeling the contractions, not to the point where I was screaming at people but it was intense! The doctor checked me and I was already dilated to 7cm (I started out at 3-4cm going into the hospital). The pain wasn't excruciating but I knew if this was going to go on like this for a couple more hours I couldn't do it. That's when I made the choice to get an epidural. I was so happy I made that choice because I did not feel a thing AT ALL from that point on. I was basically chilling in bed eating ice chips having contractions until 1pm came around and I was at 10cm and was told to start pushing. Pushing was "hard" like tiring but it did not hurt at all. I can remember not being able to feel where exactly to push so I just kinda did as best I could and the nurse said I was doing great. After an hour of pushing, my son was born at 2:03 pm and I did not even feel him come out!! TFG for epidurals.
