Labor story..... it was June 10th when I went for an appointment with my midwife. I was due June 25, 2015. she could see how uncomfortable I was at 38 weeks pregnant & every sonogram I was measuring about a week and a half ahead. she told me she could do something called "scraping my membrane" to help induce labor but it wasn't guaranteed that it would do anything. I was 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. she told me I could start contractions within hours or nothing would happen at all. so I go home, within 3 hours I start to spot and started getting pains every 10-15 minutes but nothing was consistent, being a first time mom I had no idea what real labor pains felt like, so I called the hospital and they told me I could come in and see what was going on. so I did, and nothing changed, still irregular contractions and still 2 cm dilated and 80% effaced. so they discharged me and I went through pre term labor pains for 3 days straight, didn't really sleep because the pains were bad enough where every time I feel asleep, I was awoken by the pains.

June 13th, around 3:30 am i went to pee and when I came back into bed I was trying to fall asleep at at 4:00am I felt this pop in my stomach, felt like a water balloon popping in my stomach. so I wake up my fiancé, and I said "oh shit, it's time" . when I say I've never seen this man jump out of bed so quick, I'm not kidding, he sprung up so quick and was like "ok what do we need" I said, we need to relax and I need to call the hospital. so I go upstairs and call the hospital and every time they talked to me like I was stupid like "are you sure your water broke?!" I was like "IM PRETTY FUCKING SURE MY WATER BROKE BECAUSE I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY WHATEVER IT IS AND IM NON CONTROLLABLY PEEING MYSELF." she goes "okay" and then she said if I wanted I could go take a shower and get things together before we went in because hard labor pains normally hit about an hour after your water break. AS SOON as I get in the shower I got hit with the worst pains I've ever felt in my life. so my fiancé helped me out of the shower, helped me get dressed and get into the car. as we are pulling out of our neighborhood we hear something fall off the car.. he instantly said "shit, my monster (energy drink")" tell me why this mother fucker tried to pull over and get the damn drink when I'm in excruciating pain? hell no, you can get another one, don't even think about it. we get to the hospital and idk about you ladies, but when I was in labor I thought everyone was out to get me. so we pull up to the hospital and the nurse on the phone said to come in the main entrance, when we pull up, the lights were off!!! so I started crying and scream "THEY'RE FUCKING CLOSED?!" lol. when I get there I instant start puking (it's common in hard labor) and we get up to the nurse station to sign in and I start gagging and the nurse just looks at me. my fiancé runs into someone's delivery room and grabs the trash can. LMAO! after they admit me, I tell them I need an epidural like now, so they said they needed to give me an IV before I could get the epidural. JUST MY LUCK, they can't find a vein. THEY STAB ME 24 times throughout my arms, hands, feet, everywhere and finally find a vein in my hand. I get the epidural, the anesthesiologist MISSED the first time and he's lucky I was in so much pain cause if I wasn't I would have FLIPPED, but I just wanted the pain to stop so I was just like "alright just do it again" so instantly, the pains go away.

now, I've been in labor for about 6 hours and my mom and fiancé go outside to smoke a cig and I'm just chilling in my bed, watching 'Dog the Bounty Hunter" and all of the sudden all the nurses on the floor come rushing into my room and tell me I need to turn over because Hayden's heart rate drastically declined. knowing I was in the hospital, I stayed calm. her heart rate went back up after rolling on my side. hours went by and Hayden's heart rate kept dropping every 30ish minutes, so I had to keep changing positions and the doctor gave me this medicine to slow my contractions down. 3:40ish comes around, all of the sudden I feel "the pressure" everyone was talking about. I look at my mom and go "mom, she's in my asshole and she won't get out" the doctor comes in and told me it was time to push.

I pushed about 4 times and my little princess entered the world on June 13, 2015 @ 3:56pm weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces and 20 1/4 inches long. ♥️
