The Birth of My Daughter Maiya Colter
Category: Life

Of all my children this had to have been the hardest LABOR of all. I was induced on Monday, April 28th @ 9:30 am. My baby was born at 5:23 am Tuesday morning. The Doctor had me on pictosin (if thats how u sp it) at the highest level. I was in so much pain I could not stand it! I was not able to get an epidural until about midnight after having the worst contractions every two minutes for about 8 hrs straight! The only thing that got me thru that without rippin out the I V was my very supportive man Cole. He really helped me get thru the pain , giving me back and foot rubs and just holding me thru those horrible contractions. I feel like I diddn't even have a Nurse. She was the worst Bitch you could have as a nurse. She barely came into the room. Cole had to help me to the restroom, change my sheets and blankets, clean me up when i got nauseated cuz that Bitch was no where to be found. By 4:00 am we were both (me and Cole) extremly exhausted. The nurse came in and told me I was dilated to 9 1/2 and asked if I felt like I needed to push. Well being that I had an epidural I could not feel my lower half and diddn't know what I felt! You would think she would know that. So the Bitch just left and I passed out. Well I wake up at about 5:10 and just felt so uncomfortable in my back and just weird all together. So I wake up Cole and tell him how im feeling and then I just felt really nauseated. I grabbed a bag and started throwing up like crazy. At first I felt this gush of water, then after some more heaving I felt alot of pressure down there like something just plopped out of me! I had blankets on so I couldnt see anything! By then Cole was already on his feet throwing away the bag and asking if I was ok. When I was able to speak I said " Hurry look under the blankets I think I had the Baby!!!" So he lifts the blankets and his eyes turned the size of lemons and hes like " OMG you did!!!!" Then he starts running around the room grabbing towels and blankets then throwing them down, while im yelling " Call the Nurse!!! Finally he just runs to the baby lifts her up removes the umbelical cord from her face and neck then does a finger sweep of her mouth and you hear her first cry!! He says " Its breathing!!" Then he puts her down and runs out the room yelling to the nurses "She had the baby!" Thats when 3 nurses and the Doctor finally come into the room to do thier job! And even though it was messed up the way things went I don't think I would go back and change anything because if anything the whole experiance made us feel closer than ever and its just a beautiful story we can tell our baby girl how Mommy and Daddy deliverd her ourselves! And that was the birth of my beautiful daughter Maiya Viola Mary Colter. 6 lbs 13 ounces and 19 inches long.
