Presenting Emerson 9lbs 3oz 22inches born July 24th, 2019 10:34:54pm in our condo elevator!
What can I say about this "itwaslikeamovieexperience." Here is my attempt at a summary:
This was our first baby so we decided to wait until the birth to find out the gender.
BabyTeh was due on July 18th, however since I was late, I was scheduled to be induced on the 25th.
On the 24th around 6am hubby & I went to trillium hospital labour assessment unit. We were told I was only 1cm dilated & to come back today only if my water breaks or "511 contraction count" as I was scheduled to be induced the following day.
After being assessed (& me feeling what I'd deemed as intense pain), but being told it's going to get worse.
I thought, omg I really have to toughen up so all day/afternoon/evening I was in bed & the contractions became stronger & excruciating (but not lining up with the 511 count) vomiting & unable to eat, I felt thirsty so was sipping on water, freezies & electrolyte drinks. To help deal with the worse pain I've ever felt the entire time I was holding onto my stress ball & maternity pillow & having hubby & his parents who came by earlier to comfort me. I kept praying to God to give me strength & telling myself to toughen up... If you know me you’ll know that when it comes to pain, I am a "wuss". I have very low pain tolerance, can hardly handle a needle or even an arm waxing session. Hence the way this all went down is beyond me.
Around 10pm I asked hubby to get me jello
from rabba (~5mins away). Within that time I felt distinct contractions & uncontrollable pushing down sensations. So I decided to check what was happening & felt something hanging out, frantically searched for my phone and I realize it wasn't on the bed & I haven't gotten off the bed for over 2 hrs somehow I got the strength to get up using one hand to hold up what was coming out another to get cell to call hubby @1016pm who was just on his way back up @1019pm hubby called 911 telling them he could see the crowning of the baby's head coming out.
Within mins. (but what felt like an eternity for us) 4 paramedics arrived & attempted to deliver the baby on our bed as a part of him was already out. After a few attempts that did not work they placed me on the stretcher & told me the next time I felt a contraction to let them know & give it my all. While in the elevator that all happened & into the world came our baby boy.
I want to thank God for all the blessings🙏
