We went in at 5:30 A.M. filled out the normal paperwork, and they hooked her up to the IV's and started putting Pitocin in her, to start the contractions. After about 3 hours, I start a DVD for me and my wife to watch, the Dr. says she should probably go into labor mid to late afternoon, so we think its going to be a while. As soon as I put the DVD in, my wife starts grabbing the bed, and yells that she's having a contraction. Its her first real labor contraction of the day, and her water burst. From here on out she has horrible contractions until they give her an epidural. Then she slowly dilates to 6cm, in about 4 hours, so were there just talking around noon, and the baby's heart rate starts to drop to about 80 at the peak of every contraction, and picks back up after its over. They start preparing for labor because they're scared the baby is in trouble, and they checked her dilation and she went from 6cm to a full 10cm in about 25 minutes. Then everything happened so fast, she pushed through about 7 contractions and out came our beautiful baby girl. I got to cut her cord and wash her, and the first day was hectic with all the family and friends coming by.
We left from the hospital after about 27 hours of being in the hospital from birth, and went straight to Wal-mart to fill a prescription, and walked around there with her. She didn't cry or whine, at all. She's been a great little baby so far. The only problem was last night she was still throwin up some amniotic fluid she swallowed in labor. We think its all out, and the Dr. said its normal up to 48 hrs for that to happen.
