I was induced Wednesday morning at the hospital after arriving at 7:30am. They started the pitocin and things seemed to be going well but after I got to 6cm (by 8pm), I was really suffering. So I begged for an epidural, and my goodness, it was like night and day. I was able to really enjoy the rest of the birth. After A came out, B was staying up high. OB reached in to try to grab her legs but she kept kicking them out of the way! Finally she grabbed her head and had me push a bit, but then my cervix had closed to 7cm again!! So I had to lay on my side while they cranked up the pitocin again. And then I really felt I had to push, and Baby B came out fairly quickly, thank goodness, but we had passed midnight so it was a new day. (And a bonus, that meant we got to go home Saturday instead of Friday!)
So we had Baby A - Audris Mae - at 10:29 pm on March 24th, 6 lbs 9 oz, 19-3/4".
Baby B - Brooksley Anne - at 12:26am on March 25th, 7 lbs 5 oz, 19".
I was 38w2d/38w3d.
There is a giant full birth story being written that will hopefully get posted later today if I can get another thirty minutes to myself, lol!!!
