I keep seeing people express they are afraid to give birth. so I wanted to share my birth story!! it my favorite story to tell and be prepared it's kinda long!

So I had been dilated to a 1 for 3 weeks, and was 9 days over due! I woke up that morning Nov 12, 2013. I was have small but frequent contrations. I woke my husband up and said it was time to go in. we drove 32 minutes to the hospital where a crab nurse hooked me up for an hour and then told me no I was not in labor and I could go home. my husband and I stayed in town as I had an appointment that afternoon anyway. we walked around the mall for hours while I thought I was dieing!! we went to my Dr ,and she told me she couldn't really do anything since I gad been to labor and delivery that day.b I insisted she check my cervix again and strip my membranes! she did. I had no change in my cervix. I asked if we could make an appointment to be induced (as much as I didn't want that) . we went home and soo. got a call that I could POSSIBLY be Induced Thursday (it's Tuesday at this point.) my mom came over and is pissed that the hospital has not done anything to help me! she calls then and is screaming almost at the poor lady on the other end demanding I be induced that night!! after speaking to both receptionist and my nurse practitioner, she has been told no Thursday is the earliest they can do anything. my mom already mad hangs up the phone and dicided we needed to go shopping (again) she starts timing my contractions on the 30 min drive to town they are 5 min apart. we get to the mall and I get out and nearly collapsed in the parking lot with a contration. "ok thats it let's go in!" my mom at this point is just worried for me and my baby. we get to the hospital for the second time that day. and I am checked and have FINALLY made progress! I'm at a 3 and am being admitted!

I am so excited I call my husband to tell him the news and he says "so do you want me to come now? or.."

my reply "GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW!!....and grab my sister on your way."

after hanging up I went into shock and started to cry! I told my mom I didn't want to do this, she laughed and told me it's a little late!😂

I soon calmed down I walked th halls with my husband and sister then got my epidural, and a dose of benadryl after the epidural made me itch. I then fell asleep for most of the night. aside from my chatty aunt who to this day i don't know why she was there!! I was woke up by the nurses and doctor, and they said it was time to push. after 40 minutes of pushing I got to meet my princess!! I remember thinking she looked like an alien! but the most beautiful alien!
