Better late than never... My Daughter's arrival to this world.

I had a doctor's appointment on my due date March 25, 2015 and I was fully effaced and she swept my membrane. That evening at 9:00pm I started getting contractions that were extremely bearable every 20-30 minutes, following on into the next day until 10:00am on March 26, 2015 which they became a bit more intense and about 10-15 minutes apart. Walked through the contractions that afternoon around 3:00pm. Let me just tell you that Raspberry Leaf Tea helped once I took it that day. Contractions became 7-10 minutes apart and occasionally having a little more intense ones in between. By 8:00pm that night I took a shower and was pulling through the contractions which were coming 4-7 minutes apart. And here is where the fun begins... 11:00pm that's when they became more intense at about 3-7 minutes apart, trying to sleep in between those only to realize I couldn't anymore. 12:00am on March 27, 2015 rolled along and they were 2-5 minutes apart and lasting me over a minute long. By 12:45am I just couldn't handle the pain anymore at home and I felt the need to go to the hospital. Walked to my mom's room where she's deep asleep telling her that I need to go. Got to the hospital at 1:15am and by 1:30am my nurse had prepped me and checked that I was 7cm dilated. She wheeled me into my L&D room and kept me on the monitor and my contractions were about a 4 and occasional 6 and 8. 2 hours later around 3:45am I was at 9cm. 4:20am my water finally decided to break. My contractions by then were about 2 minutes apart and 1 minute long. A few times I wanted to give up but I kept dealing with the pain until 5:00am when I literally felt the need to push. My nurse called the doctor and backup nurses, she couldn't find baby girl's heartbeat (and prior to that it had dropped a tad bit) because she was low and she didn't realize that I was ready. I started pushing around 5:10am quickly wanting to give up by 5:31am I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl Sofia Anastasia. Her umbilical was super short she wasn't able to reach me. Doctor cut cord and the nurses cleaned her up while I gave one more push for my placenta. Before they measured her they handed her to me since I decided to breastfeed. My angel weighed 7lbs2oz and was 19in long. I am proud of myself for going all natural without any medication... It was all worth it at the end!!!
