5am- arrive hospital, think I'm going to die, they check me and I'm 3cm dilated
6:30am- finally receive epidural (the best thing in the world!)
7:00am- they check me again and I'm 10 cm dilated, but baby's head is still high so they tell us to just take a nap and let gravity work its magic
9:15am- gravity wasnt working fast enough so they started a little Pitocin
10:35am- Pitocin worked and we started pushing, doctor was doubtful she would "fit" because she had a big head (and it turns out, a big body) but by a through a small episiotomy she was able to easily come right out
11:08am- beautiful baby Keira is born!
She was 8lb, 7oz and 21 inches long.
Your birth story is almost the same as my first. Way to go, sis! She's perfect... congrats again!
