My doctor missed....

...the birth of my daughter.Yup.She was brought into the world by a nurse.
The story:
I was originally supposed to be induced on Tuesday but they were too full and I got sent home.It didnt bother me too much considering I wasn't due until wednesday anyways.So I got back to the hospital wednesday morning at 7:30.Was hooked up to my iv and the pitocin was all started by 8 am.My doctor came in and broke my water at 8:30.I started feeling mild contractions around 9:30.At 11:30 I was still only 3 cms dialted.Then at 12:20 I was at 8.I felt an urge to push and they didn't believe me.The nurse called and told my doctor to come in about half an hour or so.She went to lunch,a new nurse came in.She again didn't believe my urge to push until she checked me and realized the baby was coming.She paged the doctor right away.I started pushing at 12:25 and my little girl was hereby 12:28.My doctor showed up about 5 minutes later.He was a bit upset with the first nurse because he had explained to her how fast my other two went and how for my second I was also only 8 cms dialted when she was born..That part went great.The placenta was another story.The placenta didn't want to detach and my doctor was extremely worried that he would have to put me to sleep to get it out.But it finally ended up cooperatng and came out on its own.
As everyone knows we had a hard time deciding on a name if it was a girl.We named her Kendra Lee.She weighed in at 7 lbs 10 oz and 19 inches long.She is breastfeeding wonderfully.Sorry the pics are so big.

Awww congrats! What a healthy girl.

Congrats momma! She is beautiful! And you have an awesome story to tell her about her birth.

Awww! She's adorable glad everything turned out ok.

Aww... she is too cute. Congrats on the baby. Stupid nurse.  

What a cutie pie! I am blown away you only had to push for 3 minutes!

Aw! She is beautiful. Congrats  

FINALLY!!!.....She is here!!! such wonderful news! Ive been thinking about you lots!
I am so happy for you mama! She is so sweet! Congratulations!

Congrats. 

Thanks everyone!!
It feels so weird to be a mother of three.Dylan is loving the fact that he has 2 baby sisters now.We just got home from the hospital yesterday and he is already extremely protective of Kendra.Chloe on the other hand is a bit jealous but we knew to expect that with her only being 14 months old, she doesn't really understand yet at this point.
Andre had to go back to work this morning and you could tell it was breaking his heart to be leaving his babies for 2 weeks.I'm hoping he changes his mind and decides to travel to work instead of staying there.

congrats... does he work out of town?

Just wanted to add that it could have been worse.

My older sis had a baby on 4-21, at home, ALONE. The midwife showed up 8 minutes after the baby was out!

I don't know how she did it by herself!

Congrats. What a beautiful little girl!

Quoting jamils_mommy:“ congrats... does he work out of town?”

ya.he usually only stays there when he's on nightshift but he's working with somebody else this week who he doesn't have to pick up so he's afraid of getting there late.

i am amazed at how no one commented on how BEAUTIFUL you looked after just giving birth!
