I finally had the baby. I went to see my doctor because I was having vision problems and a possible uti. My doctor talked to us and decided that we should induce me. I was 4 centimeters dilated and the baby was at a 0 (meaning he was in my pelvis ready to come out.). We went home to grab a change of clothes and then headed to the hospital. They got me hooked up with an IV and started the putosin about 7:30pm. A doctor came in to break my water at 9:00 pm. By 9:30 pm I was begging for an epidural. I had to wait for a while before I was able to get anything and by then I couldn't stop pushing. They gave me a shot of medicine and about 20 minutes later my doctor showed up at the hospital. Alex was born at 10:38 pm. He was 8 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long. Labor was only 3 hours and definitely a lot faster than I thought it would be. If my doctor would have been at the hospital when I couldn't stop pushing I would have had the baby without any medicine for the pain.
