    Yesterday November 30, 2012 at 10:10 am, I was scheduled to see my Ob-Gyn office, after being in serious pain that was causing me not to get much sleep. I went 7 days with 27 hours of sleep... which was physically killing me... the baby of course was fine... but I of course wasn't to my DUE DATE 12.5.12 so they kept tell me there wasn't anything they could do... which left me in tears and tons of pain... so I seriously asked about switching providers because I wasn't getting anywhere and obviously three trips to either office and labor area wasn't giving them any idea of how much pain I was in. 

    After an hour of pure Hell and then some and getting told to head over to the ER to be evaluated... and of course being stuck in limbo for an thirty minutes... I was in pain and it wasn't getting any better... they hooked me up ... Baby's heart beat was beautiful and I was having contractions but only 10 seconds long that came 7.5 minutes apart ... it wasn't full blown labor... so after being watched and told I was seriously only 3 centimeters dilated and still only 50% effaced... they would think about doing a membrane sweep... well when they came back 2 hours later to check to see I was still in the same spot my Ob-Gyn said that he'd been talking with the office people and they came to realize that yeah I was in discomfort, yeah I'd been there back to back the last three days... they went over the inducing stage and plan... I was like okay ... so me being on the low side of the scale to possibly having a C-Section they went a head with it... we moved me from exam room 2 to delivery room 5 ... which wasn't bad we went from a super cold room to a mega hot room... but that was okay it kinda helped out.

     So around 1 pm we started pictocin (a drug to jump start contractions)... around 4 pm they came in to check me I was about 4 centimeters dilated and still only 50% effaced... joyful right... yeah it wasn't the greatest... so at that point they said we'll break your water... well I requested the epidural so we choose to give that to me first before we broke my water cause that can cause you to progress faster... and well yeah here's how the rest of the night went...

    We broke my water around 5 something in the evening because it took a little bit for them to get the epidural stuff ready and me into a position that worked... which was fine... by me... I was a champ I had gotten two other times no big deal... but this guy was awesome gave me epidural and cheered me on making me feel like I was human with needs ... so once we got me all numbed up we broke my water and they said we'd need a pediatric doctor when I delivered cause he apparently pooped in the womb and they wanted to make sure he was alright... so okay that wasn't normal but we'd live with it... around 6 pm they checked me I was only 5 centimeters dilated and still only 50% effaced not big deal they said they'd be back to check around 9/10 pm ... well Lorne decided to head out around like 8 pm to head to the house to get somethings well... I started feeling my contractions... and it felt like I had to take a poop, yes seriously (now here's were it's gonna get a little more than PG) so the nurse who was setting up for delivery... that we didn't think was gonna happen before 9/10 pm went and got the Ob-Gyn (who happened to by my actually Ob-Gyn Dr. Patton)... he came in and said well let's check you and I said okay and he was in complete shock cause it took me 1 hour to go from 5 to 10 and 50% to 100%  ... apparently I was ready and my body was pushing on it's own. 

    So we instantly I was told to watch t.v., play on my cell phone and all the nurses and doctors rushed around because we weren't ready for him to come and boy let me tell you he wanted OUT! It was bad because we all tried to contact my husband who was on his way home... he made it to 47 in Hadley and turned around... we all though we had time... well Kayden said nope I'm ready ... well right as we were about to start pushing my husband walked back in the door... he made it just in time ... I was very relieved that he was there for me... cause my mom & sister got to hold my legs while my husband cheered me on along with the nurse who help me crunch into a ball... within 4 pushes he was out... I tore a little but not enough to warrant stitches... but I am still on watch cause of my levels and the fact that I haven't been doing too hot with the lack of the bleeding... I passed a horrible clot that they call moderate and to watch out for cause if that came back I'd be hooked back up to a drug to slow down my bleeding... yikes makes me a little nervous. 

So we got to welcome little man Kayden Lucas Hatt at 8:04 pm last night... we barely had time to notify people that I was going to deliver... let alone give anyone updates to how I was doing cause it went so fast...

                All post pictures LATER!

OMFG Baffled

Just Completely Baffled with my Ob-Gyn practice and well so is everyone else!

    Well I'm 39 weeks and 1 day pregnant with my third son as you all know... Well this am I was woken up at 3:30 with constant pain that wouldn't let up so finally around 5:23 am I called my Ob-Gyn on call office and waited a call from the on call doctor who told me to wait it out... At 5:30 am my on call doctor called me and I was on the phone with them for 8 minutes in tears being told we won't see you, your not in labor, your fine you just sick and it will go away well finally around 8 am after being in seriously pain and it not getting better I made my husband drive me to the ER, were it was a game of cat and mouse... seriously the most fucked up thing in the world... never been more confused on how people operate. So I do get up in the ChildBirth Center and they do the normal things... come to find out my Blood Pressure is was slightly elevated which then warranted them to do tests... JOYFUL right ... what would have happened if I just waited like I was told...?! Seriously I'm shocked... I'm 3 centimeters dilated and 50% effaced and am getting little to know sleep... in the last 5 days I've gotten 21 hours of sleep... My next appointment got moved from 12.4.12 to 11.30.12 but still I'm worried... I'm waiting till my husband gets home to call my Ob-Gyn office and find out what to do but still I'm a mom already but this is something I've never experienced. Well all keep you all updated ... hey Kayden maybe here sooner than his Due Date... cause if they keep telling me they won't do anything all go to Baystate... 

1 WEEK LEFT!

39 weeks TODAY!

Wow, can't believe I made it this far, last pregnancy I popped at 36 weeks and five days pregnant but the pregnancy before that I popped at 39 weeks and four days pregnant so I guess it's not that far off... but this pregnancy has def. kicked my butt physically. 

Yesterday I had my weekly Ob-Gyn appointment but keep getting told I'm gonna go into labor I'm fine all go and won't need the next weeks appointment well yesterday at 4:30 in the morning I was awoken from a dead sleep with horrible contractions that last two hours and were steady but I rocked myself outta them because I needed to take my two older kids to the dentist. So all re-cap my lovely appointment for you!

Weekly Appointment Re-Cap

How far dilated: 3 centimeters

How far effaced: 50% 

Measuring: apparently my belly's messuring 37 weeks... I guess I'm starting to shrink in the belly department well yeah I'm not eating like I used to because I can barely do normal things :( 

How far in your pregnancy: 38 weeks and 7 days pregnant

Weight: 145 lbs

Blood Pressure: 122/72

Fetal Heart-Beat: was good according to the doctor who took three attempts in locating his heart beat... shocking since he normal hit's it first try

Discussion... since I'm not 39 weeks they can't do anything to help me... or even start to help induce me and I was in pain and almost tears... YIKES

This is what we came up with ... 

    if I don't go into natural labor before my next Ob-Gyn appointment on 12.4.12 they will strip membranes and I guess induce me from what I read on what that means... JOYFUL but if I go another three days with only 12 hours of sleep I'm gonna be calling, heck I can't sleep on my left side nor my right side anymore and sleeping on my back is tricky since I can't get out of bed cause of my belly. 

So today 11.28.2012 I'm still pregnant and I'm finally 39 weeks, I'm shocked I got like maybe 6-8 hours of sleep last night but that is def. something to be shocked about but it wasn't straight threw so I'm not completely shocked either. I've had a lot of lack of sleep lately and it's only gonna get worse after the baby comes yet I hope my dearest husband will help me out a bit more. 

I currently weigh as of this morning 144.5 lbs which is nice cause 44.5 lbs of that is gonna disappear shortly after the baby is born with some of the baby, placenta, and water retention yet most of it will disappear since I've got two other boys who will need me just as much as the newborn and with little family help all get stuck doing it all... sadly... Grrr... cause my husband ain't gonna be able to take much time off...

Well that's all for today... all keep you update pretty much threw out this LAST WEEK of my pregnancy! Can't believe it's almost over! Wait yes I can and I honestly can't wait... not cause I don't love my baby but because I'd love him to in my arms not my belly anymore! 

All try to post some pictures later!

hmmm questions?!

Questions!!!!

On November 14th, 2012 ... I was seen at my Ob-Gyn's office... I was 37 weeks on the dot! I even measured 37 weeks too! I lost a lbs or something they said... they also informed me that I was 50% effaced and 3 centimeters dilated. Well it's now November 17th, 2012 and I'm worried... I haven't popped yet I've had some really bad contractions on 11.14.12 that disappeared but last two hours... so I just pushed them off to braxton hicks contracts and just let it go, now I'm worried that it dilated me further, I've had wacky discharge but nothing to warrant the BLOODY SHOW... since it was yellow, white and little brown...nothing that was red to say hello it's time... or that my water broke. 

Well here are my questions I'm doing research online to see if I can find some answers but yeah this is harder than I thought since no one really has an HONEST and STRAIGHT forward answer. 

1. since i'm 3 centimeters dilated and already 50% effaced will i end up loosing out on receiving the epidural that i want to get?

2. when does active labor truly start (with my youngest... once my water broke my contractions got fast and stronger with in hours and he was out quick)?

3. do they stop giving the epidural at a certain point in dilation?

4. what if i'm 100% effaced on Tuesday at my next appointment and 5 centimeters dilated can I ask to have my water broke & the epidural if they stop giving it around 6 centimeters...?

This is my third pregnancy...

with your first pregnancy you dilate about 1 centimeter an hour but with your second it is 1 1/2 centimeters dilation with your second ... well this is my third so I'm worried ...

So if you mother's to be or mothers already have answers to my questions please feel free to post on this cause I'd love to know ... that way I'm not completely stressing out...
