So now I will take you back to Monday May 9th! A very anxious day for me! I went to my dr appt to find out if my cervix was ripe enought to induce on the 10th! I was due on the 6th so I was getting super frustrated at this point. The dr gave me the ok to be induced with cytotec, a cervix ripener. I was barely 2cm dialated and 60% effaced.If that did not work then I was scheduled to go back home...boo!
Tuesday morning about 7:15am the cytotec was inserted. I waited until 8:30 then I got dressed and Ryus and I walked for 2 hours outside around the hospital to try and get things going. The Dr came in about 12:30 and said I was 3cm and about 80% effaced. Dr Priebe said that she was going to go ahead and just break my water. The very next contraction I had after my water was broke was super pain full, I thought "oh" crap I remember this feeling from Ben, this sucks!! THen my second contraction sent me in panic mode, it was HORRIBLE!!! All i wanted to do was to get up and move around but they made me stay in bed until they could get the babies heartbeat to make sure she was not in distress from the water breaking. The L-O-N-G-E-S-T 10 minutes of my life!!! They saw super bitchy Jessica come out for sure!! I told Ryus I can not do this I need an epidural! Let me remind you this was only 10 minutes of pain, I kept telling myself that I was such a wimp. I am only a 3, can you imagine what a 10 feels like!! They finally let me get up and I felt like I needed to go to the bathroom (#2) the nurse said that if it felt like that then the baby was probably coming. She wanted to check me but I told her " NO WAY" cause then your going tot tell me that I can't have an epidural and then I am going to freak on you lady! She nodded her head and said " I will disregard your comment on the bowl movement and go get the doc for the epideral! I continued to shoot Ryus the stink eye in the bathroom while I labored in pain on the bathroom floor on all all fours....I was DYING!! It took about an hour from breaking my water to getting the epideral! The epideral dude (can't spell what he really is) hooked it up and made me feel absolutely nothing. He was my hero!
The nurse then checked me and I was at a 10!! It was time to push! In just 2 pushes...
Miss Mary Jane was born!!
It was such a great labor, except for the hour of pain! I was so proud to say that I was not as big of a wimp as I thought I was. I was only a 3 but went to a 10 in 1 hour! PAINFUL shiz! I know that If I just would have waited like 30 minutes I could of had a natural birth! But who was I fooling, I had no desire in my entire body to do it natural!Plus...30 more minutes would of felt like an eternity! Epiderals are the best thing ever invented! And I will stand by that!
Oh Im so behind 3 -10 in an hour you are amazing that is rough. She is beautiful and I wish I could have seen you and your fam at the reunion.
