On Wednesday October 10th I went to my doctors appointment and I was told my blood pressure was a little high, so I had to get some blood tests done. The next day the doctor called and told me the blood work was o.k, but to come in for a stress test to check how the baby was doing. My blood pressure was up even more, but the baby was doing good. They sent me to South Shore hospital for more tests. Once we got there my blood pressure skyrocketed and the doctors felt it was time for the baby to come out. I was then sent to a birthing room, and got ready to be induced. The first night they gave me the cervadil (sp?) and the next morning started with the pitocin.. nothing. That night more cervadil and the next day more pitocin...my water broke that night and I started getting some good contractions, we were getting pretty excited, then round 10pm they stopped. Urgh! Sunday morning the doctor came in to check how I was doing, and since there was no progress and my blood pressure was still high, they decided to give me a c-section. Within the next half hour I was being taken to the OR, and getting ready to have a baby. I was a little nervous, but after being in the hospital for 3 days at that point, I was SO ready to get it over with!! Aidan was born on October 14th at 9:28am, he was 6lbs 12 ounces and was 19 inches. Even though he was 4 weeks early he needed no help from doctors at all, and we were so relieved.
