So with continuing.....
went to bed about 11. Work up around 2 am feeling lousy (as I did at work and left early to make it for Owen to dance his butt off). I had some loose bowels, and lots of stomach churning and gurgles, like a flu.
So, after no more going #2, I tried to go back to sleep, in the middle of thinking that it could be contractions since this nasty feeling started happening every 4 or so minutes. Jason was out like a light, so I decided to hang for a while since it didn't feel like contractions. Got up to pee, and my water broke. So 4:15ish am, I call my mom- she wanted me to get Owen up (I almost beat her through the phone!) Dad got up and came over. We took showers in the meantime.
It was a wet bumpy ride to the hospital, Jason made me PB and J for push power (which was a little argument since it was a sweet thought- but it was more like 2 pieces of bread!)
Admitted to triage, was about 4-5 cm around 5:45ish....contractions became more frequent. They said at 7 they would take me to the birthing room once the full staff came in. it was after 7:15 and I was contracting hard and fast.
The nurse checked me and I was at least 9cm, AKA nooooo drugs for me! I said shit, no nubain.
Not sure but aabout 20ish minutes of pushing- she has a big head...
and 7:54 am poof... Amelia Rose was born at 6 lbs 9oz and 18 inches long
After all the girl anxieties, I am still worried. But I balled when they placed her on me.
The repair was rougher than last time, not really worse damage though... and that took a while, as well as the after birth, she had to work on my abdomen for a while.
comparison baby shots to come. But now I must tend to my nocturnal daughter, who now decided she would like to feed.
