I was supposed to be induced Friday for low amniotic fluid but the birth center was full so they told me to call back in the morning so about eight AM we called again and they told us there was still no room. About 30 minutes later Connor decided he didn't care and that they would have to make room because my water broke. When I got there they decided they didn't want to wait because they planned on inducing me anyways so they started pitocin. At about two my contractions went from not hurting at all to be unbearable so I asked for the epidural. My contractions were only a minute apart because the drugs and coming in double waves because baby was posterior. Unfortunately I had to go on like this for two hours even though they did turn my pitocin down because my contractions were to strong and close together. I was so happy when the anesthesiologist got out of the OR and came and gave me my epi. It didn't hurt at all to be placed but that might be because I was having a contraction and was focusing getting over that. I spent the rest of my time enjoying labor and the epidural actually made me jump from 2cm to 10 cm in 3 hours because I was much more relaxed. At 11:36pm Connor was born weighing 6lbs 5 oz and he is everything I could have ever dreamed of. We actually got 7 hours of sleep combined last night even with waking up every two hours to breastfeed.
