Liams birth story came into l and d at 9:45 do to severe pain and just not feeling right was checked in triage was 1-2 cm dilated no contractions but both our heart rates were in the 150s he had a few major declerations and we almost had an emergency csection his heart rate stabilzed once they got mw on my side they decided to induce me at 11 was given the first epidural water was broken at 11:45 pitocin given about an hour later contractions started around 1 it was discovered that the epidural was not working they topped it up four times no relief contractions were 2-3 min apart dilated to 2cm got the second epidural at around 3 turns out all the meds they gave me leaked out of the catheter my spine is curved ao they had a hard time getting it in the right spot second one worked like a charm at 6 was 7-8 cm pitocin was turned off shift change at 7 they didnt check me again by 7:20 was feeling pressure down into my right leg and across my pubic mound told the nurse she said shed check me at 8 she came back in at 7:30 I told her to check me now the pressure was worse he was crowning 7:36 he fell out the room wasnt preped the doctor was pissed no tearing no pushing he just came out

I am home from the hospital Liam will be in the NICU until Wednesday/Thursday for withdrawl symptoms since I was on narcotic pain killers for most of my pregnancy he is showing mild signs and is not reuiring any medication help to relieve the symptoms it is just a really hard time for me being away from him right now
