Around 11:30 p.m. on the 28th I noticed some bleeding, so we headed straight to the hospital. We checked right in and the nurses realized that the placenta had begun to pull away from the uterus. Then my water broke and the contractions began to get harder. They moved me to a labor and delivery room, let me go potty, then got me my epidural. Once it kicked in, I couldn't feel my contractions at all. Because of the placenta abruption, the nurses started me on pitocin to try to hurry things up a little bit. I labored peacefully and rested for the next 7ish hours. Early in the morning baby's girls heart rate suddenly dropped from the 150s to the 20's. The nurses quickly came in, got me on my hands and knees, and got an oxygen mask going. After what seemed like forever, her heart rate came right back up. They stopped the pitocin and I dilated from a 7 to a 10 in less than an hour. We pushed for about an hour to get her to crown, waited for the Dr. to come catch her, then pushed a couple more times and she was here! They took her and wiped her down while I finished up with the Dr. then they handed her right to Tiave who brought her to me. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and I wouldn't change a thing.
