Five hours. Five long hours is how long Silvy has been in labor. For the first three hours, I had to watch my girl in pain and the was nothing I could do about it but hold her hand. As she headed into hour four the pain was too much and Silvy got an epidural. I held her as the doctor put a needle in her back. We had gone over it in birthing class and I knew it was one of Silvy’s wishes but it wasn’t easy to watch. I chose to lean my head down by Silvy’s ear and whisper words of encouragement instead. When the doctor was done Silvy was able to get some rest. DR. Ross our obstetrician said Silvy was going to need her strength for the next part. The delivery itself.
When Silvy fell asleep Gena came in and told me the waiting room was filling up. Tony watched over Silvy while I went out there to give an update. When I got out there Meathead was waiting with Viper, Lilly, Tank, and Axel. I gave them a quick overview of what was going on so far which was pretty much waiting for the baby to make its entrance into the world. I did promise to inform them as soon as something happened. Lilly, Tank, and Viper decided to hang around and will call in updates for the others. Viper told me to just text updates to him or send Tony out with them. He was to stay by Silvy’s side where he belonged. That was fine by me. I didn’t want to leave Silvy’s side
even though she was sleeping.
Hour six into Silvy’s labor she had told Gena that she felt pressure in her lower stomach. Because of the epidural, she can’t feel the contractions. Gena rushed out and got the doctor. I helped Silvy sit up. “How are you doing princess? Can I get you anything?” Tony asked. “I’m fine. But I could use some ice chips.” Silvy said. Tony got up from his chair to get what Silvy asked for just as the doctor came in. He stood at the end of Silvy’s bed. “I hear you are feeling the pressure, Silvy. Let’s get you
checked out.” Dr. Ross said. The doctor sat on his rolling stool at the end of the bed and examined
Silvy. After a couple of minutes, the doctor sat back with a smile on his face. “You are ready Silvy.
Let’s get this baby born.” Dr. Ross said. Silvy turns to me and smiles while the doctor and nurses get things ready. “We are about to be parents. Can you believe it?” Silvy says. I kiss her forehead and
tell her “Yeah, babe. I can and I’m more than ready.” The doctor and Gena help Silvy get in the
stirrups. As previously discussed I get behind Silvy to help her sit up so she can brace herself. I have
my legs on the sides of her and my hands on her shoulders. I will leave them there until she needs
- me.
Okay, Silvy when I tell you I want you to push with everything you have.” Dr.Ross said. Dr. Ross and Gena watched the baby monitor and when it spiked. “Silvy, it is time. Push.” Silvy say up, grabbed my hands, and bared down. Silvy pushes for a minute before she can rest. We go like this for forty–five minutes. Silvy pants and grips my hands like no tomorrow. I feel like she is going to break some fingers with how hard she holds my hands. I forgot how strong Silvy is. I don’t care though. She is bringing our child into this world, she can break my entire hand if she has to. I whisper
