So while discussing the birth story I posted with someone I realized I left out some of the biggest details. \u00a0I blame it on sleep deprivation and composing the post in another program but anyway. \u00a0The big point that I omitted from my birth story and that I have now fixed is that not long after getting my epidural, my blood pressure got really low and Colby’s heart rate went down a lot (it’s called a brady and made the monitors go off) so the nurses came in and put me on oxygen and when Colby’s heart rate still wasn’t rebounding they gave me a shot of epinephrine which burned off my epidural. \u00a0My epidural probably only lasted maybe 15 minutes and I most definitely felt everything and it was natural childbirth – even the nurse told me that I could tell people it was natural childbirth. \u00a0And it hurt. \u00a0A lot. \u00a0I thought I wanted to try it natural with Brady and it got to be too painful. \u00a0This time I knew I wanted an epidural and it was unfortunate it didn’t happen. \u00a0All that matters now is that I have a beautiful, healthy, baby girl. \u00a0But just so it’s out there – I felt it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
