From the Very Beginning (Part 4)

Mommy had another Drs appt at 11:00 on Wednesday, February 2, 2005. While there Dr checked and now Mommy is not 6 cm dialated. Dr said meet you over at the hospital, that baby is coming today. So Mommy and Daddy went over to the hospital and Mommy was sent to the Labor and Delivery Department to get ready for your arrival this was about 1 pm.

I recommend if ever possible to avoid let people training in the medical field not to do anything on you if at all possible. I had Male Paramedic Trainee trying to put in my IV. He tried twice and didn't get it. Then the trainee nurse got a shot. She didn't get it either. Then finally one of the more seasoned nurses tried and got it in with no problems. It still hurt but she actually got it in. Dr came in to see how things were progressing. Before he got to check the water had already broke and now Mommy was back down to 4 cm. How very frustrating. They were giving Mommy medicine (pitocin) that was supposed to be helping you come faster I guess, but no one ever told me what was going on. They had the medicine cranked up so high that the contractions were literally coming one on top of the other. One would start, go up, peak, come down, and then the next one started immediately after that. It was horrible and uncomfortable. They gave me some pain meds, which basically stopped the contractions. They checked several times but never got passed 4 cm. At 8 pm Dr J wanted to do a C-Section. I didn't want to. He said he would give me another 1/2 hour. Came back in still nothing so at 8:30 they started prepping me for surgery. And then....
