Monday October 5, 2009 My Labor Story....

So my lovey doctor gives me the option for a trial run of labor or the option to go straight to a c-section. I choose the trial of labor and my labor was ofical put into gear on sun Oct 4 at 7p. I was already dilated 1-2cm but my cervix was still very thick. So we started out with cytocec to thin out my cervix and about 745am on October 5 he broke my water and started me on pitocin. By this time i was 3-4cm and thinning my cervix out. So labor progressed rather fast and about 1045am i could no longer take the back labor and asked for a epidural. I only had a few scares after my epidural of really low blood pressure and Hope's heart rate dropping. At 3pm i was complete and felt the urge to push my lil girl into the world. At 320pm on Monday October 5,2009 I gave birth to a 4# 11.4oz 19 inches long babygirl named Hope Elizabeth.She was healthy little 35 week babygirl with only a few issues along the way.She had a high magnesium level due to all the medication i was on during labor. She came home from the hospital at 5 days old weighing 4# 4 oz. Our lives are now completed.
