Miss Maddie was for sure a stubborn one! Just to recap here is how Megan's day went in detail. Megan was having contractions all night last night and was already in labor when arriving at the hospital but they decided to go ahead and give her the pitosin to move things along faster. The dr came in first thing when they got there and broke Megan's water. Once they did this they realized that at some point Madison had used the potty in the womb (#2) so there was the risk of meconium getting in her lungs upon birth. So Megan and Richard were told that the NICU team would be standing by and would take the baby to the cart right away to be checked out. Which meant no getting to have her on Moms chest right after birth which made Megs sad but it was what was best for the baby.
A few hours later Megan was checked and 3 cm.... 6cm... 8cm... then 10cm. All by 11 am.
Once she was dilated they were going to let her start pushing. They tried that for about 15 min and decided Maddie was just too high up and would need to make her way down a little further before she could come out.
So they waited and waited almost 3 hours. Then it was time to start pushing again. Megan pushed for roughly 30 min to an hour, but Miss M was very content where she was so the drs made the call that it would be best to do a c-section.
I know Megan had to be so scared and upset. She did alot of work just to have a c-section but if it was best for the baby she was going to do it.
So they took her back as i choked back tears of fear for my little sister.
Overall im sure this was not the birth Megan imagined but she has a healthy little girl to show for it so it was all worth it im sure.
I feel so lucky to get to be apart of all of their lives and cant wait for our girls to be the best of friends!
And now for what everyone has been waiting on the pictures :)
