July 3, 2013 I checked in at 5:30am for my scheduled C-Section. I had postponed my C-Section from the week prior to see if my body would actually just go into labor. It never did. We get to my room at the hospital they are hooking me up, I am signing tons of paperwork, got my IV in, and then a nurse comes into my room and said, "Do you know you are contracting every two to three minutes" of course I had no clue. My back was killing me. The nurse then checks me and said, "You're a 4 plus, what do you want to do?" I panicked and looked at Jason hoping he would decide for me. He was ready to support me either way I wanted to deliver. I told the nurse to call my Doctor and make him decide. She comes back in the room and said that Dr Kvarfordt wants me to try to deliver vaginally. I was so nervous. They switched me to a different room and different bed and we then started calling and texting the family our change of plans. My Dr came a little after 7 and broke my water. I was getting more and more uncomfortable, and I received my epidural at a 6 plus. The Doctor who did my epidural was amazing. It actually worked, and made everything so easy. I was so tired I would close my eyes and try to sleep and the nurses would keep coming to check my progress and I just kept progressing basically while I laid there and slept. Once my body got to a 10, my nurse had me take another 30 min nap so I would have energy to push. We did a few "practice pushes" waiting for my Doctor and Kade was right there. I pushed for less than 20 minutes and he was out. It was the most surreal thing to see him born. I am really grateful I was able to experience it. It was night and day different from my labor and delivery with Crew. However this recovery has been hard. I had so many people telling me how fast I would recover from a VBAC, and it's true you don't have the incision pain, but you still have lots of pain I didn't experience with the C-Section. In the end though is a healthy beautiful boy, and I am so grateful to be his Mom.
