so I checked into the hospital at 4:30pm friday the 8th. I get to my room and they strap on the babys heart moniter and come to find out I've been having contractions for the better part of the day. But unfortunatly they weren't strong enough to do anything. So my doctor shows up at 5ish and preps me for the folie cathiter (very unplesent). Once it's in he tells me it should fall out soon because it can only stretch me out to 3cm and I was already 2. About 2 hours go by and my conractions are steady at one every 5min and very strong. So now me and Sean are both very tired and ask about something I can take so I can sleep, so when it comes time to push I'm not exasted. The nurse goes off and comes back with ambiean (sleeping pill) I take it, and now they think is a good time to see if the cathiter will fall out. The nurse and I go to the bathroom and she gives a tug and it dosn't come out. By now my contractions are intensifing but apparently not doing what they're sapposta do. So she drains the cathiters ballon and pulls it out. We go back to laying down and my doctor comes back to check my cirvix again and suddenly I'm 5cm dialated. So they offerd me my epidural and I had to take it. After that it was easy going, but 2 hours later I stoped dialating at 7cm. Now what happend next kind-of suprised me, they opted for a c-section. Apparently she hadn't even dropped yet and the fact that she wasn't going to be a small baby worried them. So an hour later I was preped for surgury and on my way. Then a 3:36 she was here! :)
P.S.
I'm not the best speller, so sorry if it's hard to read
