Labor Story:)
We went in at 8 am to the hospital for the induction. We filled out paperwork and I got an IV. It made me feel a little woosy. Then they told me that the two anesthesiologists had surgeries all day so they had to do my epidural right then or I might not get one. I opted to definitely get one and they came and did it. I fainted because it grossed me out, but only for a second and then I was good to go. They could only set it up for a half dose given three times an hour because they wouldn't be there to monitor it, but could be back in 3 to 4 hours to set it up. I was just dialated to a 3 1/2. My nurse started me on Pitocin and the contractions started coming in no time like crazy. I dialated to a 10 so fast - without the help of my epidural - it was SO painful! The anesthesiologist came in about 10 minutes before she was born and pumped me full of medicine and it helped some- probably a ton:) but I still felt a little. Macey was born in 2 1/2 hours. I can't complain about that, it was so nice to be done so soon! She is doing great! We were the only ones in labor and delivery that day so we got spoiled by the nurses. The hospital is SO nice here and we're so excited!
