Birth Story Time 😍

So contractions started at 1:30 am on 09/01

I kept track thru out the night..they were about 10 mins apart give or take. Got up around 10 & timed them again (still about 6-10mins apart) called the midwife (went to voicemail) they called back around 1030, told me if my water didn't break or I wasn't bleeding to drink water, eat and don't come until they're consistently 5 mins apart for an hour...around 11:15 I called again (voicemail) they were 2,3,4 mins apart. At 11:30 I said fuck it, got dressed, had my husband put the bags in the car, Left around 12, got to the hospital around 1230, the nurse checked me and I was 5cm!

I kept having contractions (was laying on my left side) they were about to check me again and I said I feel like I'm leaking, she's right there. Sure was! A few pushes and screams later, she was born at 2:37. No epidural! I had almost 2nd degree tears so I got stitched and they gave me some medicine and man I could not keep my eyes open for nothing!

Feel free to ask whatever questions 😊
