Lillianna's birth story

We went in for the induction at 7:30am. They got my pitocin going at about 8am and I wasa 2cm dilated. At 8:50am I was 2-3cm, 25% and they broke my water. I started feeling the contractions a little more (not painful though) at about 10:40am so I had them check me. At 11am I was 7cm, 80%. I passed on the epidural because I didn't think it would be long.
At 11:15am they started to really hurt. I told them it was time. The nurse called the doctor and checked me. I was 9cm. I could feel my body start to push now. She told me to push a little and then stopped me. She ran in the hall and got the doctor. She came in and I pushed and felt her head come out. They didn't even get the bed broken down yet! They told me not to push because she had the cord around her neck two times. The doctor was trying to cut it off. I didn't push but apparently my body did because she tumbled out onto the bed (Thank God they didn't get it broken down)! So she was born at 11:49am. Only ~30min of hard labor. As soon as they put her on my belly I said she's so little. She was only 7lbs 6oz, 20in long. Almost a pound smaller than Aubrianna.
It went so fast and very hard and painful but only for a short time.
