Here is our story. I really tried to go into labor on my own and nothing seemed to work. Chloe was perfectly content right were she was. So she was evicted. I was pushed back from my original induction time. Mary, my wonderful friend and nurse called at 10:30 and was awaiting my arrival. She had my room decorated and everything ready to go. We got everything started around 12:30. Pitocin started at 2 and we were having a great time awaiting the arrival of my doctor to break my water. The pitocin really wasn't doing anything to speak about. My doctor finally arrived at 5, meanwhile I was standing at the bedside contracting every 2 minutes but they weren't hurting or doing anything. I hopped into bed, he broke my water, within about 10 minutes the contractions were really hurting, I ordered up the epidural and by the time it started working it was time to push. And exactly 1 hour and 1 minute after my water broke our sweet baby girl had arrived.
Chloe Faith Allan was born at 1803 she weighed 7 lbs 13 ozs, and was 21.5 inches long.
We did skin to skin right after delivery and what an experience. She pinked up right away and was perfectly content right in my arms. I couldn't ask for a better delivery. My wonderful supportive husband at my side, my best friend as my nurse, and my wonderful doctor delivering my precious angel.
Here she is right after. She is beautiful!
