Successful Emergency C-section

At 4am Oct 1, I checked in the hospital with my water broken at 3cm dilated, pretty mild contractions. They induced with pitocin which brought me to 6cm. It seemed like forever of increased pain, which led to getting an epidural. However, I was stuck at that dilation because my baby’s body couldn’t pass through the canal. Even more scary, the more pitocin they added kept dropping his heart rate. The pitocin was halted and the labor team gave us a break before they finally moved us to the surgery room. Being super numb from all the drugs given when they started yet feeling every tug and pull in my uterus felt like a fever dream. I prayed and prayed to God until Baby Diego was in my arms at 4:23pm. We’re both recovering speedily and about to be discharged tomorrow!
