I went in Monday June 29th at 7am to get induced. Even tho I wasn't due till July 9th Dr. Carlson thought it would be best to take me alittle earlier because he knew we would have another big baby. I'm glad I trusted and listened to him because I can only imagine how big she would of been if we went another week or so. When I went in he checked me right away and I was 3.5cm dialated. They started me on pitocin around 8:20am and broke my water right away. Contractions were coming fast and close but not that strong. Finally around lunch time they were getting stronger and I was feeling uncomfortable but still only at 4cm. Around 2pm I couldn't take the pain any more and wanted an epidural so they called to let them know but the Dr. was coming from Columbus which was 30 minutes away! I was hoping he would get her fast with as much pain and pressure I was in but he didn't get show up till about 3:30pm. I wasn't too happy about that. Once he got finished I instantly felt sooo much better and relaxed, I think I should of got that sooner. LOL. Dr. Carlson came in at 4pm to check me and I was fully dialated so he told me to push with the nurses for awhile then he would be back. So the fun began and I started pushing. It was hard at first because I was so tired and I wasn't giving it my all but once I did Reese was coming down. I told the nurse that she was about ready to come out and the nurse didn't believe me. She told me to push again and took a look and saw that I was right. She told me to stop and she called Dr. right away. I was shocked with how fast this was moving. Once Dr. got in the room I pushed a few times and she was out! The best labor and delivery so far!
