That's right Brody Moore Burnett is here. I started having contractions Sat. morning around 4. They were about a minute each every 5 minutes. I wasn't having pelvic contractions I was back contractions and oh did they hurt. My water broke around 4:30 or so but I waited to call the Dr because I wasn't quite sure it had actually broke. You always hear it is a big gush of water, it wasn't like that with me. I called the Dr around 5:30 and she told me to go to the hospital. So, Justin got in the shower and I finished packing some of my things. We got to the hospital around 6:20 and I was put in the triage room so that they could exam me. I was dilated a 4, 90% effaced and a -2 station. I stayed in triage for about 30 minutes before I was moved to my room.
From 7-7:45ish, I was having contractions every 4-5 minutes and was able to have normal conversation. Then all of a sudden the contractions were coming on very quickly. The anesthesiologist came in around 8 to give me my epidural, but the contractions were so strong and coming on so quick I couldn't even answer his questions. Justin was answering all the questions for me. When it came time to actually give me the epidural, I couldn't hold still or get in the position b/c I was in so much pain. I kept telling the nurse, that he was coming. She checked my cervix and I was already 9 and 1/2 centimeters and he was crowning. So within 15 minutes I went from 4 to 9 and 1/2 centimeters. So, I had to deliver with NO EPIDURAL!!!! Yeah, that's not a typo, I did it all natural and it hurt like hell. It happened so fast that my Dr. didn't make it and they were yelling for any Dr. to get in the room. The poor Dr that did deliver Brody, didn't even have time to put on a rob, needless to say, I owe him a new pair of scrubs.
Brody was born at 8:23 am on Nov. 11th. He weighed 7lbs 11 oz and was 19 inches.
I will post pictures in the next couple of days.
