💕LABOR STORY💕

Starting at 7am 11/27/15 I felt very mild contractions, thought nothing of it and went back to sleep. I woke up again at 11 am still feeling them but very far apart and not that strong so I went about my day. I took a shower, did the laundry, had breakfast, and started playing some video games with my SO. The contractions started to get stronger but still very far apart with no pattern so I didn't bother timing them. At 5:30 my SO left so work so I went to take my daily nap. At this time the contractions are starting to gain a pattern but I can still talk through them and move around so I timed a few and dozed through a lot. Waking at 9pm I still feel fine but they are getting closer together so I start really timing them. SO gets home around 11:00pm and we eat dinner. Well, shortly after dinner the contractions start making my world stop, all I could focus on what that so I tell him to go take a shower so we can head in just in case. We get to the hospital and in triage by 12:30, cervix checked around 1am and I'm already dilated to a 5! I start really focusing on my breathing now and find I can easily get through them, silently! By 2:30 ish am. I'm in a room, by 2:45am my water breaks. No epidural has been given yet.My nurse suggested I lay on my side to help with the pain, well that seemed to kick things in gear and I needed to push, NOW! She checks me and I'm fully dilated, no time for an epidural! It was time to push. 3 contractions later, about 6 pushes, my son was born at 3:01am 11/28/15. 8 1/2 lbs 19 inches long. Due date 12/03/15 and I was scheduled to be induced this Sunday but baby boy had plans of his own 😍
