Monday night i had terrible contractions so i headed to the hospital around 9. Even though my contractions were 2-4 minutes apart for hours-i wasnt dialating so they sent me home. The next morning i went to my Dr. and he sent me back over to Labor and Delievery to induce me. I recieved the pitocin at 10:15 and Baby Luke came into the world at 2:15. Labor was very quick and easy. I recieved an epidural and had had hardly no pain. But the very second he came out of my body i developed a severe headache. They put me on a caffeinne drip right away. The next day it was worse so they did a blood patch-which i thought was going to kill me-it was so extrmely painful. But as soon as the blood patch was done i felt better. I was finally able to hold Luke and change his diapers, ect. 24 hrs after the blood patch was done my headache returned..but not as bad...so i went ahead home. It kept getting worse so by Saturday i headed to the emergency room. When i got there they told me they were going to repeat the blood patch but do a little bit more thorough job of it. they took xrays while inserting the needle to make sure they got the right spot. Its been about 8 hours and im feeling okay-Praying to God that it doesnt start coming back tomorow. Luke has been amazing.. His first night he slept 4 hours straight and i had to wake him up then to feed him. He is by far the best sleeper and the most content baby i've ever seen. He's definatley worth all the pain i've been throough.
Will post pics soon as i get them on the laptop.
