Logan's Delivery Story

Delivery story without too many gory details...

The abbreviated version of Logan's birth is that my blood pressure was through the roof at my Dr appt Monday afternoon (like 160/100 and 147/101) not good stuff. So, being past due and 3cm and since my Dr was on call delivering that day we decided to go have a baby. At 5pm we were finally all checked in and he broke my water. He agreed to give me some time on my own to see how things progressed. Contractions started right away and were consistent 3-4 min apart the first hour, but then kind of went back and forth with a larger spread between and not very strong. I agreed to pitocin 2 units at 8pm (still 3cm) then increased to 4 units at 9pm and things progressed quickly I was 6cm at 10pm and nurse had a tech start setting up the room. I threw up once (just on schedule like my other deliveries). Baby came after pushing through 4 contractions right at 11pm. From 8-11pm was tough, but other than that it was a quick and complication free delivery pain medication free. No tear again this time which is such a relief and makes recovery from labor and delivery so much smoother! Praise the Lord!

Logan's stats were 7lb 12.9oz and 20.5" long. He is the smallest of our babies yet and as healthy as can be. We are very thankful for a quick and safe delivery!
