The hospital called bright and early at 6:30, you have 1 hour to arrive from the time they call or you *lose your spot in line* and get bumped to the bottom and are sent home to wait for the phone to ring again.....so my Mom had kept the boys overnight as the drive by itself is 1/2 hour. We got there at a couple minutes before 7:30...not much time to spare. It was a game of hurry up and wait. Hurry up to get there *in time* and then wait for them to decide they are ready for you
We finally got my pit started at 9. I had hired a trigger point massage lady who I was very excited about (I had a bad epidural experience
with Isaiah and she was my life saver) she came up about 11 and started her magic...at noon she informs me she has to leave to go teach a class but could come
back at 4:30 if I need her WTF??? Would have been nice to know BEFORE!!! I was dialted to 3. The hours are passing and the pit was at 20 (anyone who's had
pit knows this is not an enjoyable time), at 4 I had Brad call the massage lady to make sure shes coming back, 4:15 call her back, 4:30 where the hell is
she---please give me the nubain---4:45 Check me again-----Only dilated to 4--- forget it I need the epidural consult! Wait for the Dr...finally talk to the Dr,
she thinks she will be able to place the epi so I agree and get in position....5:30 FINALLY SOME RELIEF!!! Why did I fight the epi for so long? (Oh yeah
because I was told I would never be able to have a successful epi). 6:15 nurse checks me HOLY CRAP DILATED TO 9!! She goes out in the hall to get some things
to *get the room ready* 6:25 I tell her I am feeling pressure so lifts the sheet and looks. Her eyes get pretty big, she ask Brad to hit the call button, she
tells the desk she needs my Dr ASAP....she looks down again eyes bigger this time and tells Brad to hit the call button again....she tells the desk she needs
any available DR NOW!!! One last peek and she tells Brad go into the hall and grab the first Dr you see! I asked her how many babies she delivered...she
finally laughs a little a tells me 3 but there is a lot more paperwork involved and her shift ends at 7 so lets hope a Dr comes in. A Dr comes in (never seen
her before in my life, some random Dr, not from my practice) doesn't even get fully *dressed*...no pushing necessary, no cuts, no tears-- Everett delivered
himself at 6:30
