With my first pregnancy, I only had two
complications - both were due to
dehydration. Because of the
dehydration, I ended up in labor. But
with a shot each time along with fluids,
the labor stopped. But on the night of
my 36th week, my water broke. Even
though it was my first pregnancy, there
was no doubt my water had broken. It
came as a big gush. I went to the
hospital immediately. I was put on a
monitor. After a few hours of no
contractions and no dialation, I was
given pitocin. Within a couple of
hours, I was having terrible
contractions! I don't know how I did
it, but I managed to do it without any
medication. I had a total of 21 hours
of labor. After pushing for 3 hours, a
healthy 7 pound, 3 ounce boy was born.
He had no problems whatsoever and went
home with me 2 days later. He is now
almost 8 and doing great.
