Even the contractions were worth it. But the epidural was even more worth it. haha!C&Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629518643327335539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496007850008712641.post-17026900900741819192011-08-28T12:16:21.926-07:002011-08-28T12:16:21.926-07:00C I'm crying here!!!C I'm crying here!!!mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491242002890154345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496007850008712641.post-21714272428977298032011-05-27T10:12:12.446-07:002011-05-27T10:12:12.446-07:00@Shannon, Yeah T really wanted him in there becaus...@Shannon, Yeah T really wanted him in there because he wanted him to have that experience. He did take most of the pictures. My Mom took some as well! <br /><br />@Elena, Thank you! Yeah it seemed to go pretty well. I couldn't even dream of letting her sleep alone! Our hospital was very stern about not co-sleeping though. Since they came and checked on us to take vitals and what not in the middle of the night, I didn't want to get caught! haha So T would stay awake and hold her while I slept then we'd switch after a few hours. It's lovely holding a newborn! <br /><br />I had tested positive for Strep B (http://www.womenshealthcaretopics.com/strep_b.htm), so because my water had broken, they needed to first get me on the antibiotic to protect Emery from possible bacteria. They put me on pitocin shortly after because they wanted to speed up the process. I was still at a 3 after HOURS of contractions. The pit helped speed things along. I wasn't allowed to have an epidural until I was 4cm. My gosh, if you have the choice to wait and get pit, wait! Because some can feel a burning sensation in their arm. Let me tell you, with all the pain from the contractions, pain in the arm is not welcome! hahaC&Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629518643327335539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496007850008712641.post-74695306414086200332011-05-26T16:29:46.394-07:002011-05-26T16:29:46.394-07:00Girl, I loved your birth story! it sounds like it ...Girl, I loved your birth story! it sounds like it went without a hitch!<br />I absolutely loved that you decided to make sure you sleep hold the baby through the first night and take turns. That's not something I've thought about doing, but it totally makes sense, since I plan on co-sleeping, then it's even more important to hold the baby and let him/her sleep on your chest in the hospital.<br /><br />Also I have a question: do you know why they started you on pit immidiately even before they gave you an epidural. Theoretically, they should give you an epidural and then if the labor stalls afterwards, give you pitocin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3496007850008712641.post-10844643845113409342011-05-26T13:06:56.744-07:002011-05-26T13:06:56.744-07:00I can't believe you let Tuhk in the room!!!!! ...I can't believe you let Tuhk in the room!!!!! hahaha Was he the one taking all the pics?
