aka Charlie.
@Brooke_Ashley's water broke around 10:30pm and we headed to the hospital at 1am. We were already scheduled for an induction because she was 42w2d. We beat you induction!
What a crazy trip. 9 hours of labor with no drugs. She was only at 5 centimeters and not making any progress at after nine hours of labor. All natural. We did the right thing when going into labor. Know your options, have any open mind, and know that this your story and no one else's. Know that you want to do it a certain way but KNOW that it could change. We didn't want to be like every other Mother that told us "GET THE EPIDURAL!" and "GOOD LUCK" Thanks for the encouragement.
So we wanted to speed it up(avoid a C Section later on because she was exhausted) and got the epidural and and the patosin(sp?) and everything just happened right after that. Brooke pushed for about 20 minutes and there was my beautiful baby girl.
For the record, the nurse didn't make me sit down because I almost passed out and I didn't start crying when she was born. There was some placenta in my eye. ;)
We are home now. Life is great! Everyone is sleeping except me at 4am. I had already got my midnight nap session. Thanks Brookie. You're going to be the best Momma. <3
