Well, i went to the doctor on Friday and was dialated to a 4 so we decided to call the hospital to see if any beds were available, they were all full but would have one @ 4 pm so i killed some time and went in then. When i got there the bed was still being used so i was put in a temporary room and started on pitocin @ 5. My contractions were almost immediately intensified but not painful, i kinda felt forgotten about because they didn't come back to check me until 2 hours later. (i think because they didn't want to tell me they couldn't give me my epidural because, the anesthesiologist was called into two emergency c-sections.) so @ 7 they moved me to the big room and 30 mins later i was numb :) thank heaven for drugs! They checked me i was a 5+. My nurse wanted me to lay on my left side for 30 min and then she would come back and switch sides. Well when she came back 30 min later she noticed some blood and checked me i was at a 10! A ten at 8 something! THANK HEAVENS i had my epidural in time, i have no desire to experience the pain of childbirth! The pressure to push was immediate but i waited for the doctor, and had him at 9:33 pm. What an exciting day and now i have three kids, how fun!
