Moi drove me to my doc's appointment. I've been having weird contractions but am still at 1.5 cm. Doc ordered another NST at the Hospital Perea for this Thursday.

At 430am I was having a different type of contractions. Very painful and progressive ones. Since my doc's visit on Monday, doc had ordered a NST at the hospital so I was admitted at around 930 AM. I was hoping that I would go home but when doc came to check on me I explained to her what I've been feeling and she checked my cervix. I had dilated to 3cm. She said that I was already in labor mode so I took my clothes off and was given a gown. I wished to walk around and not strapped in bed so the nurses set up a wireless monitor so I could go outside the labor room and also visit hubby who was in the waiting room. Right before I went out, I didn't know that I had been given Pitocin to accelerate my contractions until I asked what was the injection that the nurse had administered into the saline solution bag.
I wish I was consulted first. After walking around with Moi's help I wanted to go back into the labor room to go urinate. Right then, the nurse asked me to hop into bed after I go pee so she could check my cervix. I was still at 3cm. I remained in bed because I felt a lot of pain when all of a sudden, POP! Gushing warm water came out. I didn't see it but felt it and yelled, "My water broke!" The three nurses on staff were laughing. One came over and checked and said, yes, your water broke.
My pain intensified. At that point things happened fast. I was almost crying everytime I had a contraction that I looked like I was trying to bang the bed and bit on my fingers, pulled my hair and I yelled please give me something for the pain! Doc checked my cervix and I was at 8cm. No wonder the pain. One nurse said sure, she gave me an injection on my butt. Doc came over and asked why I had a birt plan in the record. She was mad. She said those things should have been discussed with her before hand and she handed me the paper and said, this is worthless. Grrrrrr.
I then yelled again I want to push!!! She started prepping me and giving me instructions on what to do. I asked for hubby and one nurse escorted him in. I was like he better be here because we paid $100 for him to be with me if I delivered vaginally.
I was pushing wrong because I would at some point let air out, giving up on the push. At some point I pushed hard that my ears popped. Then I heard. Baby's head is crowning! Right there I was wheeled into the actual labor room and was asked to hop from one bed to the other. Doc kept saying that I was very stiff. I had a hard time keeping my knees bent. In between contractions and pushing, I felt a big relief. Something spurted out. It was Abdiel. He was cleaned up and then placed on my chest. The doc was doing stuff down there. I was tired to know what was going on. I know that she did an episiotomy and injected me in different areas to sew me up.
I was up for pushing the placenta which happened when Abdiel was placed on my chest. I cried a little because his face reminded me of my deceased dad. I asked am I up for pushing the placenta? Doc said you already pushed it out. What a relief. Baby was taken away, doc left to fill paperworks, hubby went to admission to pay for the 2 night stay in the private room and I asked to see the placenta, it was ugly.
Then I was wheeled into the pre-labor room where I had shared with other pregnant women earlier. I was wheeled out into a corner. Two pregnant women were facing me and one of the was a filipina lady who was long overdue. This afternoon I found out that she had a C Section done because she was still stuck on 1cm since yesterday and probably before coming in to the hospital. Hubby bumped into her husband and they shared each other's baby pics and hubby said that both were creeped out because our sons look very much alike except for the weight and height. Abdiel weighted 7 lbs 8 oz. Measured 20". The other baby was 8 lbs. 13 oz. Not sure about height.
Sadly, she is in the shared room next to mine and her husband is putting a fight because he wants to stay with her overnight. She doesn't speak Spanish and speaks broken English. When her hubby found out that Moi could stay with me he was like whaaat? I'm sure that if he had known that if room #259 is the only private room and costs $56 per night, he would have taken up for the offer but I'm sure that he didn't know.
I might swing over to check on her. I'm so sore down there.
I could barely walk. I spent 30 minutes trying to pee in the shower but only small drops came out. I was unable to empty out my bladder.
We had a good scare. Abdiel was in the room under a large AC unit. Moi was helping me in the bathroom when we heard a loud thud. The AC's side cap fell off! Abdiel was 12 inches apart from where it fell. Thank God he didn't get the hit. Moi was furious. Moi called the nurse to report the incident.

A guy came in at 3 AM to ask what happened and asked for a written report. Moi wrote every single little discrepancies. Dirty, rusted, and moldy shower, fridge, bed rails, windows etc. He's a very clean person so he sees things that others may not see.
A two page long report in small letter.
Hubby went to get food for him outside of the hospital and Abdiel is sleeping in a plastic bin next to me (not in bed). Moi posted a few pics on FB and tagged me. People have been commenting like nuts.
Today my doc came over to check on me while I was in the shower. I still had a hard time peeing. However, I was doing better in the afternoon. I was able to squat down in pain and peed twice. I'm getting better.
