My better late than never LABOR STORY ::
I woke up on Saturday 4/16/2016 at 2:16am thinking that I was having major discharge. When I went to the bathroom I wasn't sure I was peeing or what. So I waited a few minutes, just sat on the toilet. Kept dripping. Then I decided I was going to take a shower. when I stood up water gushed out. I got on preggie & got some advice from some fellow members because I wasn't sure if my water broke or not... Comes it find out it did. it was about 2:30am & my brothers had just pulled up in the drive way, they were coming for my baby shower which was Sunday. Woke up my mom & told everyone that my I think my water had broken. it took them an hour to get ready. Thank God I wasn't in pain or in a rush. We finally got to the L&D around 4am. I got to the hospital, still wasn't having any contractions that I knew of. Once they started monitoring me, they told me that my pain tolerance was extremely high & that I was having contractions, just didn't feel them. I walked around for 2 hours then they finally offered some medicine to help induce the contractions I guess. then the pain began. I was about 4cm dilated & 100% effaced. but my midwife was able to stretch my cervix because I was so soft. The nurses were taking their time getting things ready until I told them that it was time & that I needed to push now! After 5 min of pushing my 7 lb 10 Oz baby boy was out! Everyone was surprised because I was only 95lbs pre pregnancy. & he had a head full of hair lol. I didn't have an epidural or any meds for the pain.
