My birth story

Last Wednesday I went for my routine Ob apt.  Everything was fine and my cervix had started to soften.  The next day I had pms type cramps all day but otherwise it was business as usual.

Friday things changed.  While getting ready for work my water broke.  I called the doctor and then headed for the hospital.  They were able to confirm that my water had broken but I was not having contractions.  They started me on pitocin but within an hour it was decided to do a c-section. 

The baby's heart rate kept dropping and since I wasn't even dilated yet or had more than a few contractions that it was safer to get her out by c-section then to take the risk of continuing labor.

She was born at 2:17pm on 09/13/13.  She weighed 6lbs 9oz and was 18 in long.

Introducing baby Zuri.
