I went to my OB visit at 38 weeks and my blood pressure was way to high. They decided to induce me the following morning. Alex was able to jump on a flight and come home. They broke my water at 8 am the next day and then nothing major happened for 6 hours. Then they gave me a small dose of cytotec and I slowly began to have some real contractions. Then all of a sudden I went from comfortable to needing to push in less than 15 minutes. And 20 minutes later without any pain meds or the epidural I desperately wanted I delivered Ethan - 6 pounds 4 ounces. It was not at all the delivery I had been hoping for but everyone was healthy and well so I can't complain. I was so glad that Alex, my mom and my good friend Deb were all able to be there.
