Azayah is here!!!!! birth story**:D

HI GIRLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol. miss ya!!! well ill tell ya my birth story. as in my other posts before after i got my membrane strip i was pretty much in early labor for the whole week, i had it on the wednesday before. my contractions would come close and then drop farther. mondya night and tuesday mornin i had tons of pressure down there and was having regular contractions. i told dh i thought it should be very soon, but to go to work because i had been having the contractions for almost a week and was waiting till they were very intense to ever go in. well my dh came home 4 hours early cause he had a feeling i was gonna go, cause i told him there was alot of pressure. so we went to mcdonalds, then to shop and bought some baby clothes, lol, and by the time we got home they were about 5 min apart still but had been on and off for days so still waitin, but i knew this was it because they were gettin more intense. so, my brother in law and sister in law and their kids came over to use our computer for something, and i told her i was prolly going into the hospital. after they left i showered and got our bag ready, and by the time we left they were about 3-4 min apart and painful. we got to the hospital at 6:30 pm, and they said they would do an OB check lol and i was like okay, they figure alot of first time moms come in for false labor. lol. so they hooked me up to the monitor, and checked my cervix and i was a loose 4. and my contractions were strong and every about 3-4 min. so the nurse calls my midwife and comes in and says YOUR STAYING lol. i was like well i knew that, haha. oh and i kept saying i had a feeling i had group b strep, well they never called to tell me after my test, but at the hospital they told me i was positive. i smiled just cause i was right haha. so they hooked me up to the IV and got antibiotics going. i originaly planned a no epidural labor. well, i ended up having back labor because he turned posterior AGAIN. lol. they always say back labor is like 20x worse, but i dont know what the regular feels like, it was BAD though. lol. by the time i was 6 cm i asked for the epi, well they anisthesiologist was in surgery! they kept saying, they will get there when they are done, blah blah lol. they put me in the whirlpool on my hands and knees to try and get the baby to flip. he never did though till he was literaly on his way out. so they gave me some med to make me relax in between the contractions, but it wasnt a painkiller, she said i would feel drunk, lol. i did, for maybe 15 min and it wore off, but i did relax more. so my midwife was by me the whole time trying to help me breath through them, finaly i looked at her and said the epi guy wasnt gonna make it! i had to get him out he is down there now i said, so she checked and then they all started stirring around gettin ready, she said, she needs to push now! so i turned on my back and they actualy had me push on my side for a few moments to so he could turn on the way down. they kept saying i was pushing amazingly and i had to have oxygen which i kept tryin to take off, hehe, anyways, my husband said he literaly almost cried because he felt bad for me. dh saw the head and told me, and finaly out he came at exactly 11:00, one hour before my birthday! i only pushed 29 minutes!!!!! from the time we got there to his birth was only 4 1/2 hours! which is what i wanted! he was soooo cute when they put him on my belly. they quickly took him though, i started having post partum hemmoraging!!!! i was gettin delirious feeling and loopy, and kept asking wierd questions i guess. but they finaly got it to stop bleeding, and then she repaired me, i had two second degree tears, not on the outside at all though, they were inside, but my butt was fine, lol. anyways, i was realy weak and didnt get up and i still am having trouble gettin up and down, but much better now, the first two days were horrible! i am VERY sore. my tail bone is very bad. but he is sooooooo amazing! he was 6 pounds 7 ounces and 20 inches long. he is very good. he has some jaundice,and because his blood type ended up A with O's on it which is called cumes positive or something, they are keeping an eye on him we have to go back sunday, BUT he is doing well. he was having a bit of trouble eating cause he was sooo lethargic from the jaundice, but last night he did GREAT! he was waking himself up every about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, and i would feed him and then pump more and change him and he goes back to sleep after. i was breasting only but they had us supplement with some formula until i got my milk in more, because it helps to make jaundice go away with the bowel movements. i am getting milk in now though, and they are sending me a realy nice hospital grade pump free. i still let him have the breast itself sometimes, but mainly bottle breast milk cause we have to monitor what he eats, he did lose 5 oz the first couple days but he is doing so much better. he actualy wakes up for his feedings by himself which is great. i love him so much. my dh was so amazing with helping me and he didnt leave me once and the hospital except to go to get food once. we got out of there at 9 thursday night. they kept us to watch his eating. and they put me on restrictions for a couple weeks for the low blood count. but we are wonderful and sooo happy. the first night he didnt go to bed till 5 am and was so upset. but he is comfy now, and things are wonderful!! i will post more pics as they come, we are so busy now lol but i will be in soon!! love ya girls!!!!!!!!! blessings!!

WOW. your labor story sounds A LOT like mine! haha. i had my membranes stripped, was in early labor for a week...then finally started going into labor after 7 days....stayed at home for a long time, went in...was 4cm (had been for the whole week though). quickly moved to 5...got stadol to help me relax a little and to ease the pain, but certainly not kill it, had GBS and was on antibiotics...had back labor, had originally planned a no epi labor, and after 5 hours of being in the hospital, delivered him naturally after about 20-30 mins of pushing (no one got the exact time  )!!!

although, i didn't hemorrhage or tear or anything...but wow, until that point, it was like almost reading my story! LOL.

anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!! he's a total cutie!  

I am beyond happy for you momma! he is perfect!!!
