We arrived around 8:30pm, was in our labor and delivery room by 9:00pm where they check you in bedside, nice. IV is inserted, a bag of saline and Magnesium for high blood pressure (PIH) is started.
At 10:30, they give me a dose of Cycotec to rippen the cervix and inducement begins. Two Ambiens later, I am out of it when they give me another dose of Cycotec at 2:45am. THen at 4:25am, I start cramping painfully, then I hear a loupd pop, satup and my water had broken. This was no twinkle, full force and the contractions begin....
I progressing along with cervix dilating and epidural is given by 7:30am, the doctor visits me and starts pitocin. At 3:30pm, I am at 9cm but the baby sill not low. At 4:15, I am 10cm and baby is STILL HIGH!!!
We begin pushing at 5pm and there is decelaration in the baby's heartbeat, not good. I am told that could be that the baby's cord is wrapped around her neck. We push for two hours during which the doctor asks if we would like to attempt vacuum suction. Tried and failed, time for c-section.
At 7:13pm, as my epidural is wearing off, we enter the operating room. I feel a sharp scapal! Must wait another 20 minutes for epidural top off to take effect. They wait 10 minutes and begin the surgery, I feel pressure only by now. At 7:42pm, Alessia Callie Sorola is delivered!
