As the seconds turned into minutes then minutes turned into hours with very slow progress. My water broke at 7:00am by 9:00pm I was stuck at 8cm and my contractions had fizzled out. My OB decided to start Pitocin to get things moving again. I had never had Pitocin so I had no idea what to expect. Mind you I do all natural child births, no pain meds at all!! The Pitosine got things moving and my contractions started back up again coming about every minute, I didn't even have time to catch my breath between contractions. After 3 long hours of HARD labor it was finally time to start pushing. I was given O2 because Zac's heart rate would drop with every contraction. I started pushing at 12:15am and finally after 17 1/2 hours in labor making it to exactly 33 weeks, at 12:35am on Wednesday May 5, 2010 Zachary Stephen came screaming into the world!!
