After being monitored most of the day last Friday to check on the baby (which would have been the 1st) I started to have regular contractions and they started to hurt a bit. During the monitoring they took my bp and watched the baby's heart rate and around 3:30 both were looking much better then the morning so I had a choice of being induced then or go home. I chose go home. My mom, DH and I went home had some dinner and were about to go on a small walk when while I was putting my shoes on my water broke. So I called the doctor and she told me to go on ahead in. To make a long story short I labored through the entire night with NO pain meds until finally in the morning I was 10ish cm (there was a little bit of a cervix lip). I pushed for 2 hours but still no baby and the lip was not going away. By that point I was pretty exhausted and the dr. told me that she was pretty sure the lip was not going to leave so I had the option of an epidural to possibly help and then if it didn't a c-section. Well I got the epidural and it at least gave me about 3 hours of sleep, but the lip was still there. They then wheeled me into the c-section room and my baby boy was born at 3:31pm in the afternoon on his due date (June 2nd)!! It turns out that my pelvis is most likely misshaped to have a normal delivery because Cameron had a nice big bruise on his forehead even though he was in perfect position. They don't know for sure though because of the lip. After 4 days in the hospital we've been home since yesterday and are now recovering very well. Although my birth story didn't go as planned I'm very thankful for my healthy baby boy and would do it all again in a heart beat for him.
