The Davis family: September 15, 2010 1:21am Hunter is born.

The Story of Hunter begins on Monday September 13th...my due date. I was getting ready to get out of bed and get ready for work when I had some strange pains in by stomach and Brent my husband said to me OH NO...you are not going to work...you are going to call Dr. Shay (my ob doc)..he persuaded me to call Dr. Shay's after hours number by threatening to call my mother!!! Doctor Shay said to come into his office as soon as they open and they would see me...as long as not having any pain...if there was any pain I was to go directly to the hospital and he would meet me there. I was having contractions in Dr shay's office and could not feel any of them. I was told by Dr shay that he wanted to induce me the next day unless I went into labor on my own over night.

I was to be at the hospital at 7:00 am the next morning (Tuesday September 14th) to be induced at 8:00am. I finally started getting the drug to induce my labor at 10:00am. I was thinning but I was not dilating very fast. Dr Shay came in to break my water at 2:00pm. My labor picked up after my water was broken. I had felt no pain or contractions untill almost 2 hours after my water was broken. I was only feeling the contractions that were in my belly down low. I was given something in my IV to help with the pain from the contractions about 4:30pm....I was really feeling them low in my belly now. I was not able to get the epidural yet because I was not dilated enough...finally at 9:30 I got my epidural and about 10:30 the epidural was in an was administering the meds to me. Finally I started dilating and at 12:10am (Wednesday September 15) Dr. Shay said I could start pushing. I pushed for 1 hour and 10 minutes and our baby boy was finally here for all to see!!
