My contractions started at around 8 pm on Saturday. The contractions weren't bad but the back labor I was having was awful. We decided at 12:30 am Sunday morning that I was in labor and that we needed to get to the hospital.
I went back to triage at 1:30 am and was dialated to 5 cm and was 70% effaced. They put me in a labor room and hooked me up to pitocin which was awful. When they turned to pitocin up to 2 I had a contraction that wouldn't stop. It started, ramped up and wouldn't ease off so the nurse got worried and turned the pitocin off until I was able to get an epidural.
The epidural was nice but I had a weird reaction to it, it made me nausaus and light headed and I shook from head to toe the whole time it was on.
Around 3:30 I was at 6 and they broke my water to try and speed things up a bit.
They came back in and checked me at around 8:15 am(they never checked me much) to see how far dialated I was and I was fully dialated but still wasn't 100% effaced and the baby was 0 station. The nurse had me to push once but the doctor said that I had too much cervix left and I needed to wait just a little longer.
So they sat me up and we waited 15 minutes and then set everything back up so I could push again. After almost 14 hours of labor and 2 pushes, Olivia Fayth was born at 8:40 am.
