ok so i guess im not the only one posting there birth story. but late is better then never......ok so i was due july 17th but i never made that. on june 20th at 11pm i started having sever contrations every 3-4 minutes  so i called my dr. she told me to come in. i went in and was told i was not dialted and still very thick, but they kept me because i was in so much pain from the contractions. they gave me a shot to ease the pain and something to help me sleep. not only did the pain meds and sleep meds not work i never slept. on june 21st my dr came in at 2pm checked me and stated "you're not in labor go home and rest". well i looked at my dr and said "watch i'll be back TODAY!" so we go home, but on the way home my contractions got even closer every 2-3 mintues. well beliving the dr that i was'nt in labor i TRYED o rest. but my resting was sitting on my hands and knees swaying and moaning at the top of my lungs. the contractions by 3pm were on top of each other. i could no long talk or walk thro them. i went on like this till 7pm when my husband could no longer see me in pain. he called 911 and got an ambulance. when the EMTs arrived they asked what was going on well i could not talk and as soon as the emts saw me hunched over the chair they did a scoop and run. my husband and son never got to say good by. well i get to the er and the dr comes right in (very rare at my hosp) she did a quick check and i was 4cm and 90% they send me right up to l&d. well this took all of 2-3min. when i got to l&d they did another check and i was 6cm and 90%. she ran out to call my dr. my dr came in about 20 minutes later and lookd at me and said "well i guess you were right" i snarled back "i f***ing told you so!!!!!!" my dr did a check and i was 7-8cm and 90%, but the contractions were only lasting 20-30 seconds so she told me she wanted to break my water and start some pitocin. i told  here she was not touching me till my husband got there. meantime my husband was waiting for my mother in law to come get gabe. he arrived at 9pm. my dr came in to check me and i was then 9cm and just a antior lip. she again stated she wanted to break my water and start a piocin drip. i said she was not touching me till i got an epi. she felt it was too late but agreed beacuse i could bearly handle my contractions as they were already very strong. well the dr came in to do the epi and got it all set. then at 10:03pm my dr broke my water and started the pitocin. by 10:50 i started to push. but because the epi was only working on my left side i was still feeling EVERY single contraction. this drove me to push and end the pain. Noah Daniel Smith was born on June 21st at 11:19pm he weighed 7lbs 4ozs and was 18.5inches tall. he was born at 36wks 2 days! my dr stated that if i had gone to my due date he would have been OVER 11lbs and prolly around 22inches!!!!! well here is his new born pic!
