Well, here we go!
I was due to go to the Hospital on the 23rd to be induced, they were too busy so we went on the 24th after we went for a long walk... Once we got there, they hooked me up to a monitor and found out that I was having pretty severe contractions, but I could not feel them. That was at 3:00.
That did not last too terribly long... At around 11:00 p.m. I got an Epideral and slept until 4:00 a.m when I needed an upgrade on the dosage because I was feeling the pain very well.
At 9:00 a.m the next day, the doctors came in and told me that they would like to break my bag of waters so that my cervix would dialte further as I was only at 4 cm's. Now they told me that at 9:00 and at 9:45, right when they walked in the room to rupture the membrane, after a BAD contraction, my water broke all by it's self.
They said it would be 3 to 6 hours to dialte to 9 cm's or so... Well, in 30 minutes I was completely efaced and felt the urge to push with each contraction and the Epidural.
The doctors told me to push if I felt like it and I did... They rushed me to OR because they saw Madison's head and did not expect to see it so fast.
1/2 an hour later I was done!
I was only in ACTIVE labor for 2 1/2 hours!!! I feel so blessed!
Madison Amber was born at 11:15 a.m. and weighed 5 pounds 12 ounces, Kylee Michelle was a vaginal breech extraction and was born at 11:17 weighing 5 pounds and 1/2 an ounce.
Both babies are healthy and so is mommy.
The whole hospital called me Wonder Woman while I was there.
I will post pictures ASAP!
Thank you all for your support! Talk to you soon!
