Kairi's birth story
It all started Monday night (5th of December) around 10 or 11 PM, I started feeling contractions which I thought were braxton hicks because they didn't hurt. But they started getting constant but I still wasn't convinced because it didn't hurt and I was playing Fable 3 so I was so tuned to my game lol. Brushed it off and went to sleep. But the minute Ed woke up at 5:30 AM, I told him I thought I was having contractions because they were still going while I was sleeping! I had a dream and it felt real because I was having contractions during them!!!! At this point, they were still tolerable, a bit stronger but they weren't killing me like everyone had me thinking lol.
So before we left, we dropped off our fuzzy baby, Sora, at my friend's who sees me laying in the car on my side and asking if my contractions hurt. I said not really and she was like oh no it's going to get worse. Yea like I needed the scare lol. So we get to the hospital around 8 AM and they're checking in a room to assess me and when I went to pee, just blood!!! LIKE A PERIOD!!! At this point, I'm trying not to freak the eff out cause it looked like I was on my period and if my baby was okay. The nurses and my favorite one who was there from when I had first went to the hospital named Lorene was there let them check me and I was 9 in a half cm dilated and in tact, my water didn't break. Ed and me just looked each other like "holy shiznits!" haha it was great. So the nurses freaked and brought in the ultrasound stuff to make sure Kairi was head down. But by that time my contractions were totally sporadic. 5, 10, 15 mins apart. But they weren't going to stop labor. They put me into my own little private room and hooked me up to the IVs, they gave me magnesium solfate or something to slow down my contractions so I can get another steroid shot in to make Kairi's lungs more developed. So I was feeling like crap from that but calm as all as can be since Ed wasn't leaving and nor was Lorene. She told the head nurse that I was going to be her main patient till I delivered. I love you Lorene!!!!
At this point I been in labor for about 5 hours and it's 1 PM. I was a complete 10 and they decided to break my water which tickled and felt great once it was popped lol. I'm still trying to figure out why the hell am I not in pain and so were my doctors!!!! They were like WOW..you are way too chill right now lol which isn't normal for me since I have anxiety issues. I started doing practice pushes and laughed through out cause Ed and my nurses kept saying funny shit but they were kinda hard cause I wasn't countracting but Kairi's head went down a bit. Oh so the doctor left because she didn't believe Lorene about me having contractions. So that's when they busted out the pitocin. And I was like f@*k, that's the stuff that makes your contractions hurt a lot more than they're suppose to lol. A few minutes of that dripping and my contractions started being 3 minutes apart but they still felt the same and it didn't hurt. So did a few more practice pushes during them and the top of Kairi's head popped out and that's when the rush began. Everyone came running into my room and got situated and I started pushing again. I lost count how many pushes I did but Kairi's head and shoulder was out and that was the only part I felt uncomfy with because the doctor told me to stop but my vajayjay was like not uh! and she was out
at 2:10 pm on December 6th. I love my experience so much and I would totally go all natural again!!! And she's here, not full term but healthy as can be. I just need her home. Thank you for reading guys. Sorry for it being so long
