The simplified birth story... with pictures On Tuesday the 4th... my contractions started in the evening.. but they were about 15 minutes apart. I thought I would get through the night, but at 3 in the morning my inlaws came to our house to watch Preston and Mike and I went to the hospital. At that time I was 2 cm dialated and 70% effaced... contractions about 7 minutes apart. At about 6:00am my nurse told me they would probably have to send me home even though my contractions were so painful.. I just wasn't dialating fast enough. I think Ella heard the nurse say that because as soon as she heard she had a half hour, my contractions started becoming more intense and all of a sudden I was 4cm and they were ordering an epidural. Mike, his brother (who came to keep him company) and I rested and at about 11:45am my contractions were 2 min. apart.. the epi wasn't doing it's job anymore... I went from 4cm to 10 cm in about 2 seconds lol and at 12:10pm Ella was born.. I did not even have to push... she did all the work for me!  I was in the hospital only the 24 hour minimum because we were both really healthy and Ella was eating like a champ! The transition has been smoothe... Couldn't have asked for anything more!    |
