Here is the short birth story. I don't want to bore you with every detail!!
This is me at 39 weeks! Madeline was born at 39 weeks 2 days.
I started having contractions at 8am sunday morning. Labored through church, came home to get my things and get Emily situated and went up to the hospital around 2:00 pm. I was 3 cm dilated. All the nurses thought I was faking it because I was too happy LOL!
They had me go walk around for an hour on the labor floor and then I was 5cm. They admitted me, gave me my epi at 5:30 pm and shortly after that (probably around 7:30 pm) they broke my water. It was super fast after that.
Because I had such terrible tearing with Emily they were going to have the baby descend into the pelvis as low as she could go before having me push. I was in such excruciating pain when they had me lay on each side to get her moving.
I started pushing at 8:40 and Madeline was born at 8:47! YES. I pushed for SEVEN minutes! It was a tough 7 minutes though. It was very painful with tons and tons of pressure. BUT I didn't tear!
The recovery has been a breeze. I feel great!
Everyone told me I looked way too happy to have just given birth!
Ready to go home!
