Warner's Delivery

You think you will never forget all of the details that happen to you, especially having a baby, but somehow, time goes by and you start to forget the little details about the big deals in your life. That is why I need to blog about the details of Warner's delivery. I went into labor on my own on Tuesday night, but I had a scheduled induction at 5:30 on Wednesday morning. I could not sleep on Tuesday night because my contractions were so hard, but they were every 10 minutes. This was continuing for several hours, so at 3:00 am I decided to drive myself to the hospital and check in a few hours early. I did not bother to have Adam come because I knew my contractions were not close enough. I knew I had time. Once I got there, I had progressed to every 3-5 minute contractions and I was at a 3. Adam arrived at 5:30 and I was at a 5, but no further progression. I got my epidural at 6:30 in the morning and life was good. I was never induced with drugs, but Dr. Adams broke my water at about 7 am. For 2 hours after that, Warner's heart rate was dropping after each contraction. They tried several different positions and even tried putting extra fluid into the uterus, but nothing worked. She told me that we needed to do a c-section. I was disappointed, but I wanted the baby to be OK.
