*Before I Start this post I just want to add a little Caution note! Not that its gonna be graphic but just so everyone knows, I'm talking about my experience giving birth!! If you rather not know feel free to skip this post and wait for the next post :]
Now that that has been said here we go! On Monday September 25 {Five days after my due date} I had a doctors appointment. I was still at a 1 maybe a 2 so our doctor stripped my membranes which was pretty painful and came with quiet a bit of blood! We then were given an induction date! If I didnt go into labor before Thursday I was scheduled to come in at 5am to Start the induction process. So we headed home to pretty much just wait. Tuesday Jubal went to work {It was his long week} and my sister {Jordan} Came over and we just hung out. I did some cleaning knowing at the very least we would have our sweet girl that weekend. However later that night I started have contractions and there were painful but I was able to sleep!
The next morning as I finished some cleaning I noticed I still had contractions and they were gradully getting more intense. Jordan came over again and kept me company while I counted contractions. By 12 the contractions were very intense and close together, I called Jubal, while Jordan called the hospital {I wanted to make sure if I came in now I wouldn't get sent home!} By 3 pm we were in the hospital labor and delivery Triage. Where we received the awful news that I was only 2 cm dilated!! So we walked trying to get me to progress. As the contractions continued to intensive I began throwing up I was in so much pain. Because I was throwing up of coarse I got dehydrated. They started an IV, which took a really long time to actually start cause I was that dehydrated already! At 6 pm I was checked again and notified I was only at 3 cm! So we walked some more while the nurse called the Doctor to see if they would keep me. Thank the Lord they did however, I was still quiet a ways from being able to get some medicine to help with the pain! So I walked and sat on an exercise ball, doing everything I could to dilate more. Around 11:30pm -12am I got really quite trying to just breath and let my body do what it needed to. And hallelujah it did!
By 3 am I was pain free with an epidural and at a 6! I was then able to get a few hours of sleep, preparing for delivery. At 6 am I was checked again and was a 7. Slowly but surly I was getting closer to meeting our sweet girl. By 930 I was a 10. I began pushing at 10:30 and at 10:46 am Kynslie Belle Tait was born! It was the most amazing thing I have ever done and honestly what they say is true! I don't really remember the pain! Even though I know I was in a lot of pain I can't honestly recall exactly how painful it was. So praise the Lord, I survived and We will definitely be having more children just not anytime soon :]
