went to hospital Thursday for scheduled induction at noon l&d was full so we sat in triage for four hours. finally got room in l&d, its realized then that they didn't do a strep b test, so the Dr does one and sends it out for a rapid test. they decided to not induce until the results came back. at six pm was told that ot would take two more hours to get test results. well 8 rolls around still no test results. at 930 pm they finally decided to start pitocin. by 9am the next morning I had only dilated to a four, so the doctor decided to break my water that certainly got things moving. I was taking nubaine every three hours for pain relief, well, the nubain decided to stop working. I didn't want a epidural, so I tried to deal with the pain. at 11am the nurse and my husband convinced me taking a shower would help with the pain, so I got in the shower. by 1120 the pain was excrutiating, shortly after I felt like I had to push, pulled emergency cord in shower, and five nurses came in. I almost passed out. they got me to the bed I pushed one good time and his head was almost out, after a couple little pushes my son Elijah kaleb was born at 1132 am this morning weighing 9 lbs exactly, and 21 1/4 inches long. he had lots of hair and I fell on love with my little man. I only had two stitches, and we r both healthy and doing great. I am breastfeeding and he has done wonderful.
