Hello ladies!!Well he has arrived. I was in labor for most of last week. The labor was in my back so to say the least painfull. On wed. I went to my ob for a check and found I was still 2 cm so they left it up to me to decide when to be induced. I went in on thurs morning and began pitocin at 11:30 am. They broke my water at 1:00 pm and then I requested my epidural at 5cm. Unfortunatley the epidural fell out of place at 7cm and I had to labor from 7-10 without medication and to top it off he was posterior. I will never be able to express verbally what that pain was like but I will say that at 10 cm I refused to push and told them I wanted a cesection. They ofcourse would not give me a c section so they gave me a spinal. As soon as I got the spinal my body relaxed and andrews head turned into the right postion and I pushed him out with 5 pushes(thanks to working out) He weighed 9lbs. 10 oz. and was 22 inched long!! I think my head may have spun around during labor and I thought my hubby was going to pass out from my screaming. Women are powerfull human beings, I have such respect for moms who labor without medication(shopohalic)it is truly such a show of strength both mental and physical. He is sleeping now and I am nursing with a little formula becasue his blood sugar was a little low. Hopefully when my milk comes in I can stop. Also i injured that herniation that I got with my 1st son so I can not lift my left arm beyond 30 degrees. I will be going back to the dr.s for that on tues. I hope everyone is well and I will keep you posted!!!
