Camden Taylor Wilson was born August 1, 2013 at 8:56 am. He was 7 pounds 6 ounces and 20 inches long. He is a cute healthy baby and Taylor and I are so grateful to have him in our lives.
Birth Story:
My doctor scheduled an induction a week past my due date, and of course, he didn't come before then. Taylor and I went to the hospital July 29th at 4:00pm for our induction appointment. The nurses hooked me up to IV's and started giving me pitocin. I came in to the hospital dilated to 2 cm. The baby's heart rate kept going up and down so they had to give me oxygen and lower the dose of pitocin. Once his heart rate was normal again, they upped the dose. I was getting contractions that were uncomfortable and a little painful so they gave me some pain medicine. That all happened within 12 hours and I had no progress. I was still 2 cm. The doctor and nurses were thinking of sending me home. Out of no where my contractions got soooo painful and they were a minute apart. I could barely breath through the pain. Within 30 minutes I couldn't take the pain anymore and I asked the nurses to give me the epidural. They checked me and I was still 2 cm. The contractions were unbearable and I suddenly had the urge to push. I asked the nurse again to check me. She did, and his head was right there. She called the doctor to get to our room right away for delivery. There was no time to get the epidural. I knew I had to push the baby out naturally without the epidural and it frightened me. Within a few minutes the doctor came in and I started pushing. After 9 hard pushes, baby Camden Taylor Wilson came. His umbilical cord was wrapped around the top of his head so the doctor had to cut it. I had no tearing and the labor was a success! After they cleaned him off real quick, they let us do skin-to-skin and that was such a sweet moment. Taylor and I are so thrilled to have him join our little family.
