Isabella's Birth Story

Date of Birth: 12/11/10
Original Due Date: 12/19/2010
Weeks Pregnant: 38 weeks 6 days
Weight: 7bs 9oz
Height: 20 inches


In labor for 2 hours and 15 min start to finish.
Woke up at 1am on December 11th with contractions.   They went away around 5 am.  Woke up at 8 and took a shower.   Had my "show".   No contractions though.  Called doc and he said to come in at 2pm to see if I was dilated and if I was enough he would induce.
Got to hospital and I was only 1.5 and cervix was still high and "hard" not favorable for induction. So we left at 5:30
My niece Victoria had to have emergency surgery at a hospital 25 miles away at Centre State so we left and went there.   I started contracting at 6:30.  5 min apart (from nothing).  Really painful. Nurse wanted me to deliver at Centre State and I said no way.  She wheeled me to the curb in a wheel chair and off we went.     In the car they started getting worse and more frequent.   Called doc and went to my hospital.  I was screaming to Kevin in the car that we needed to hurry. We get to the hospital and Kevin is running through the halls with me in a wheelchair.  I get to L&D and they rush me in a room.   The nurse checks me and I'm 8-10 and ready.   She tells me not to push til the doc gets there.  yeah right!   I push anyway.   Thank god she was face up and it took longer for her to get out.   The doc gets there just in time and  I had her at 8:46 natural with no drugs and no time for any iv's. Funny how you don't "NEED" all the crap when there is no time (like IV's with Fluids, catheters etc.)  3 contractions and she was out.
