I've seen a lot of labor stories and wanted to share mine. So here we go...!! 😁 The Monday before I gave birth, I went to the doctors office and the dr checked me and said I was 2cm dilated. She asked if I wanted to get induced and I said yes. That Wednesday I went back to the doctors (I was already overdue... I gave birth at 40w5d), checked me and I was 4cm. The dr did a membrane sweep and said that instead of going to the hospital that night, to go in tomorrow morning at 9am (Thursday Oct 29th) and she'll induce me there. The next day comes around and around 8am I started getting contractions every 4 minutes! I'm a first time mom and I thought it would start out every 20 mins, then 10, 5, etc. but I guess everyone is different. We arrived at the hospital at 9am and went to labor &a delivery. The nurses there said that there were not doing inductions today because the floor was already packed. I told them I was already having contractions though so they hooked me on the machines. (I ended up not having to get induced!) After about 2 hours we got admitted and my boyfriend and I went into our delivery room. Around 12 or 1pm I got the epidural because the contractions were horrible. I didn't plan on getting the epidural but I wasn't opposed to it. But I'm very glad I got it. Around 2pm my dr broke my water which I didn't even feel. Around 4:30pm I started to feel my contractions again and they hurt but I still could not feel down there (thank god!). 4:45pm we were getting everything situated and the dr explained to me how things would go. 5:05pm I started pushing at at 5:26pm my son was born 7lb 15.9oz, 19.5 inches long. We breastfed in the delivery room and he latched on great! Kaden Chance is perfect. My pregnancy, delivery, and child have been so easy with no complications. My son started sleeping through the night at 7 1/2 weeks old. I love him so much. Words cannot describe how much. ❤️
