I thought it would be fun to share my Labor story. I always love hearing other women's stories about Labor and so here is mine.
It all started on the night of Dec. 14. Eric and I went to bed about 9:45 p.m. I couldn't sleep, I kept on tossing and turning in bed. At about 11:20 I started having contractions every 10 mins. When the clock hit midnight I finally woke up Eric and told him I was having contractions and the pain was getting more and more intense! I then went down stairs and was on my knees bending over the couch and with tears almost streaming down my face I was praying intensley. I couldn't bear the pain any longer. Eric called Labor and Delivery and asked about when we should start to head to the Hospital. At about 1:15a.m. we left to St. Marks Hospital which is about a 30 min drive! We stopped at Bangeter Hwy to meet my mom and trade cars with her. She ended up taking Kaden and watched him for the next couple of days. By this time I was in so much pain that I couldn't even breath. I kept on telling Eric, "Drive faster I need that epidural all I need is that epidural"!!! Well we FINALLY arrived and Eric grabbed the wheel chair and started running down the hall to Labor and Delivery! It was like the movies you see and the women is grabbing her tummy and breathing so hard! The nurses got me into the room and checked to see how far I was dilated.
Then the worst news in the world. the nurse says, "Well darling your complete"! My reaction, I started crying and telling her I needed the epidural. She told me, "You CAN'T have the epidural because the baby will be out faster then we can get it working." Then all of a sudden my water breaks and Eric says,"WOW that's a ton of water"! All of a sudden I had the biggest URGE to push, and when you are not medicated it feels like the largest POOP of your life!! :) After a few pushes Tige was born!
We arrived at St. Marks at 2:05am and he was born at 2:30am, it was fast and to the point. I am glad that it went the way it did, but would of LOVED the epidural. To this day I am still SHOCKED that I was able to give birth with NO medicine. Everything went well and we are enjoying our 2 little boys. Eric has been home for the last two weeks and we have been loving being together as a family and bonding with these precious first couple of weeks.
