It's been a while. Life is always busy.
Max arrived on November 7, 2010 at 5:28pm after just a two hour labor and delivery. It was a really strange handful of events that happened right around his birth.
Three days before his induction date, I went in for a routine visit and ultrasound. We found that Max was breech. I was so upset. I'm not against csections, but I had 6 deliveries without one stitch anywhere, so this news was a bit difficult for me to process. I was a bit stressed. My ob agreed to try a version on the baby's induction date and if the version worked, start the induction after that. If the version didn't work, we would go ahead with the csection. I prepared myself for the section.
On Sunday the 7th, we arrived at the hospital at 2:30pm. One of the residents came in to do a quick ultrasound to check his position. To our surprise, Max was head down! The nurse came in and put on monitors and fifteen minutes later, she runs back in the room and says, "did you know that you are contracting every three minutes?". To which i responded, "No, I had no idea". She checked to see if I was dilated and an even bigger surprise was that i was dilated to five. The nurse was shocked that I was walking around 5cm dilated and contracting q3 min and had no idea. I didn't have any pain. That all happened at 3:30pm, Max was born tow hours later.
