Also @andrinnam my water did not break on its own. I was 6 & 8 cm with my two babies when I went in finally they broke my water and shortly after I delivered. So not everyone's water will break lol I kept waiting on that and it just didn't happen for me.

thank you both so much! @babiig0911 @34466 any little bit of info helps :D

awww congrats😁 red raspberry leaf tea helps your labor go by quickly. walk a lot. take a labor and delivery course. and usually if your in labor you'll know (: I didn't know and my key to go was my water broke lol.good luck hun! xoxo @andrinnam

My labor without an epidural and just IV pains meds was amazing!! Everything went smoothly and I felt great after. Breathing is key I never did lamaze or anything just breathe through contractions. Both times in labor I started at 10 at night mild woke around 5-6 and they were getting intense and regular contractions. Odd way both times I tried to eat cereal and threw up and that's what made me decide yup its real and time to go. I joked and said I guess my body wants everything out right now. But you will know when they get on a regular interval. My ob this time said if you have 6 contractions in one hour it's time to head to labor and delivery
