At around 5:20am the nurse checked me and said I was 9cm and complete but then the resident came in and said nope there is still a lip there , no sooner did they walk out the door my stomache did a complete flip (thats what it felt like anyways ) and I told my Husband I wanted to push , He panicked and said NO you can't But My body took over and I was pushing, I guess he got the nurses attention and she came in and checked me and said I wasn't allowed to push( I didnt hear her I didnt hear anyone I was so focused on what my body was doing at that piont)
My husband had to get his face right in mine and he blew in my face , I looked at him and he said you cant push yet honey just breathe , up untill that piont I felt in controll of my body and labour was pretty easy but when all this started happening I got scared and felt very out of controll , My husband helped me breathe thru the contractions (which at this point where one on top of the other) And finally at 6:10am I was given the go ahead to push, The 1st push I pushed with my feet but the nurse told me how to push and with the next contractions I pushed with all my power(Pushing felt so Good) and then I pushed once more and the next thing I know My husband says "Dont you drop her" Our wonderfull and sweet baby girl was born at 6:18 am on Nov.17th 1994 she wieghed 8 lbs 13.8 ozs and she was 20 1/2 inches long she had a head full of dark aburn hair and blue eyes , I couldnt stop crying and shakeing My husband cut the cord and I looked at him and he was crying too , I couldnt belive after 7 years 3 months of trying and wanting a baby so badly that we finally had a daughter She was concevied naturally.She did have a problem with her resperations they said she was breathing a bit fast and they need to take her upstairs to the nursery by 9am she was back in the room with me and breastfeeding, She wasn't considered blue but they think due to her fast delivery all the fliud didnt get out of her lungs.
Kaileigh May is the light of our life and our whole world . My labour and Delivery was easy and not really painfull as I said it was just uncomfortable , I think the worse part of the whole thing was my stitches from when they cut me. I hope to be able to experince this wonderfull joy again soon , and for all of you couples out there who are trying for a child and haveing troubles conciveing Please never give up faith or hope and whatever you do never give up trying for a child because as long as there is a yearn for a child and a ache in your heart and soul you must never give up, We are proof that even after years of trying there is hope.
Thanks for reading and best wishes to all of you that are expecting a child and for those of you that are trying for one as well, God bless you all.
