We checked into the hospital at 9:00 and I was dilated to a 4, 70% effaced and having contractions. Little milo was ready to come. They started me on pitocin at 10:15 and contractions began to get stronger. We hung out for half an hour and talked about how excited we were to meet this little one. We talked in between contractions of course. At 10:45 they broke my water and immediately my contractions became much more intense. The anesthesiologist was ready to give me an epidural and got one in as fast as he could. Unfortunately my body was just progressing too quickly for the medicine to catch up to the pain.
I was in so much pain. I was literally in tears with each contraction. I focused on not holding my breath during each contraction and Dallin did his best to comfort me. I got 3 doses of the epidural medicine and I finally started to feel some relief around 11:45 - but mostly on just my left side. I still felt pain in my right side, but there was nothing we could do about that because suddenly I was ready to push! The nurse checked me and I was fully dilated and 100% effaced and ready to have a baby.
Dr. Porter came in and sang my praises for enduring such a crazy fast labor with basically no medicine since I was fully dilated by the time the medicine kicked in. He told me to get ready to push.
I pushed through one contraction.
He told me to push one more time and we'd have our sweet milo here.
I couldn't believe that he was coming so fast, I was overcome with all sorts of emotions and it took everything in me to give one final push to welcome my miracle baby.
