Kimber-Ann's birth sotry

Miss Kimber-Ann Jean made her entrance into the world on March 24^th 2009! On March 23^rd I went in for my 42 week checkup, I was nervous as all get out. I sat there waiting to hear if I was going to finally be induced or not, my doctor decided that my blood pressure was high and for me to go in to be induced.  So I called my mom and sister and said it’s finally time! We got to the hospital at about 10 am they checked my blood pressure and guess what, it was fine! But they said your here and your doctor has already ordered your induction so let’s have a baby! My body was nowhere near ready to have a baby so they ordered a round of Cervidil! Cervidil for those of you who have never had the privilege of meeting it acquaintance, is a vaginal insert used for the starting or containing of the thinning and softening of the cervix, basically it’s a very expensive tampon that stays in for 12 hours! I didn’t feel very much the first 6 hours, but by night time I was starting to feel crampy and have mild contractions, and was starting to get uncomfortable.  So my nurse gave me some pain killers into my IV. After the 12 hours of the first one I was checked and it barley did anything! So you guessed it, they ordered me another round of my very expensive tampon. About 6 hours into this one the contractions where starting to get intense, so they decided to pull it out and check me this time we were getting somewhere and they decided to take it out and start Pitocin, and boy did it get things a movin’! pretty soon I was at a three, and Next they decided my water needed to be broke, to try and get things moving along even more…and the kabob skewer they wanted to shove up my lady bits freaked me out! (I was young, 21, single, and had no education on child birth) after they calmed me down and broke my water things really started to move along and I was not doing so hot. I was not relaxed at all, I tensed up and held my breath with every contraction. Basically the exact opposite of what you want to do. So they decided it was time for an epidural! The anesthesiologist came and gave me the epidural but it didn’t work on the right side of my body, at all!  Finely after an hour of waiting he came back and re did it and it finally worded and I was numb!  At about 4:00 pm I was finally ready to start pushing! And you guessed it I started to freak out once again! I was not ready to be a mother, I was not ready to have a baby at all! But ready or not here she came. The nurses got me in position and had me do a few “practice pushes” kimber was still pretty high so I had my mom and my sister each holding a leg and a nurse partially on top of my pushing Kimber down, after a few pushes it was time to have a baby! I pushed for maybe 30 mins and then I had a beautiful baby girl in my arms! She made her entrance at 4:30 pm and was 8 lbs 14 oz and 21 in long <3
