Giving birth makes me feel like a super hero!
My water broke at 1:20, I woke up because I had to use the bathroom, I got out of bed took five steps and felt this liquid coming out, I knew exactly what it was. I was on the edge of the bed by Justin's feet and I was shaking him so he could wake up, took me a few tries. Once Justin woke up I told him "babe my water broke" he sat up real quick and asked "what?" so I had to tell him again and walked out of the room and went into the bathroom to pee. I also called my Dr left a VM and he called me back telling me to go to the hospital, while I was in the bathroom Justin walked in and asked if my water broke, I answered yes and that we needed to go to the Hospital asap.
I also told him to inform my mom because I needed her to go with us to the hospital. My mom got ready to go with us, I had to change Justin got dressed, we got hospital bag and Jared's diaper bag, we left and on our way to the hospital I felt every emotion, scared, tired, excited, happy, nervous, mostly scared. I was scared of contraction and labor. Once we got to the hospital my mom and I went to labor and delivery while Justin parked the car. I got admitted and went to the back I got my bed and they took my vitals and put in an IV, Justin got there an we waited for the nurse to check if my water really did break. After two hours they said yes your water broke. They took me to my room and since I wasn't getting contraction they gave me some pitocin, after a few minutes I got contractions they weren't so bad which is why it took me hours to deliver baby. Every hour they came in to check on me and my contractions since they were not getting any worse by them self, they kept adding more pitocin as the hours went by I stared to feel really exhausted, I wanted to sleep but couldn't there was a lot going on in my room.... after a few hours my contractions started to get really bad, at first they were enough to handle but than I felt like my back was tearing apart!
Justin called the nurse so I could get the epidural everyone who was in the room stepped out except my mom. Getting the epidural was freaking me out but it was not bad at all, they guy who did it was telling me how it was going to hurt and feel uncomfortable and what not but honestly I kind of liked the feeling. Once they were done I went back in bed, after five minutes I couldn't feel my legs which was great because my contractions got really bad and I was glad I couldn't feel them.
They kept coming in to check if I had dilated and I stayed at 3cm till 5pm .I was 6cm after 5pm. At 6:30pm Dr Medchil came to check and I was 10cm! I was excited to meet my baby! It took 15 minutes for Jared to be born. He was crying and I cried as soon as I saw him, I fell in love! It was such an incredible feeling I felt complete! Once they put him in my arm I told him "no llores mi nino" and he just stopped crying. The nurse took him to get measured and to weight him. Jared weight 7 lbs 13 oz and measured 19 inch! Once they were done and he was cleaned up I got to do just a few minutes of skin to skin. After they checked me all I wanted was to eat a sandwich. I asked the nurse if she could bring me one and she did! It was the most delicious sandwich I have ever had!
