Emersyn's birth story

I went in for my induction on June 21 at 6am, they had to test my blood to make sure all my blood thinners were out of my system so we didnt have excessive bleeding. once they checked my blood they came in and started my pitocen at 7:30am. I was already to a 3 and 80% thinned so i was hoping to move pretty fast, the dr came in and broke my water at 9 and i was feeling pretty good untill 9:30 ish then my contractions started coming every 2 min and were getting very painful so we called in for an epi. I got my epi at 10:30 and they had to do it twice b-cuz the first time he went through a vein in my back and my eyes tunneled in and my ears were ringing like i was going to pass out but once he pulled the tube out of my vein that feeliing went away, after the 2nd epi was givin i felt so much better but was so ready to be done. at noon my dr came and checked me and i was a 5 and 100% thinned so we just had to wait to dialate more. At about 1:40 the nurse checked me and i was a 6, the told me another hour or two and i could push but not even 20 min later i was having alot of pressure so she checked me again and sure enough i was a 10. She called the Dr. in and at 2:10 i started pushing, i was so impatient so after i would push twice i would stop and say ok how many more pushes or how much longer, and not to much longer at 2:25pm she was here!! She wasnt crying but was moving when she came out so they had to bag her and do the cpr on her to get her breathing, she had a hard time breathing on her own for a few min but then it kicked in and she got it, she also swallowed so much fluid that her belly was full so she wouldnt eat so they had to pt a tube into her belly and they got almost 1/2 oz of fluid out and after that she was golden and ready to eat! I am so glad my labor and delivery went much better than i thought it would since i was pretty scared. All is well now and baby Emmie has only lost 1 lb so all her clothes are huge one her but she is still pretty darn cute, we love her
