Labor Story!!
So Friday Sept 16 I had minor contractions all day that weren't really painful at all just 10 minutes apart and uncomfortable. That night I started having them every 3 minutes but they still weren't painful, so I slept and the next morning starting around 9am the contractions were still 3 minutes apart and the pain had gotten a little worse. By 1pm that day (Saturday) they hurt enough that I went to the Family Birth Place here and got monitored and checked but I was only fingertip, so not even a full centimeter. Basically they said go home until your in enough pain for medicine. So I went home and tried to go for a walk and then take a bath and rest. Well, Sunday morning they were really strong and around 3pm they started hurting so bad I would cry. So I went for another walk and tried to take a bath but it did nothing for the pain. At 8pm I went back to Family Birth Place and got checked and boom I was at 5cm!! I went from fingertip to 5cm in one day! So they admitted me and gave me a dose of fentonal through an IV for the contractions but that medication is not good for the baby so they told me they would have to stop giving it an hour before i started pushing so it would be completely worn off. By 10pm I was at 8cm and they stopped the medicine. I started pushing at 11:10 with no epidural or any other meds and at 12:35am on Sept 19, my baby boy was born!! Honestly it hurts really bad to do it with no medicine! But I say if that's what your heart is set on(like mine was) then go for it, you can do it! Your body was made to do it and people have been having baby's for hundreds of years with no medicine! He was born with so much hair, and he stopped crying as soon as they laid him on me. It was the best feeling ever and how they say the pain totally disappears after you see your baby is true!!

@giananiicole, how amazing!!!!!!! I did my first w no meds too! Now that I'm on my second I'm really considering the meds lol. I'm so glad you and baby are doing great and that baby felt mommys love and calmed down. Beautiful story! Its crazy how you took so much pain at home, I was four when I was admitted and a raging bitch in the car on the way their, it hurt lol

@leahsmommi, I told my SO whenever we have another I'm probably gonna get the epidural!! 😂😂 once is enough lol yea I was yelling in the car on the way there when he would take turns too fast because it hurt so bad!! @bodaciousb6 yea the Fentonal helped me the first time for like 45 minutes but then the second time it only helped for maybe 20!

Wow your labor was so quick! That's awesome. I was only in labor at the hospital for that much time too but I was laboring at home that day for like 5 hours before I went to the hospital. I'm glad I didn't get it either. I mean it hurt like nothing I've ever experienced but I'm glad I got to. @bodaciousb6

@giananiicole, yes, it was a great experience I keep hearing of enter Mark pain from the epidural.. And I don't want that.

@bodaciousb6, yea I've heard that it hurts bad afterwards for a really long time. My friend has back problems from it still and her son is 6 months old!

yeah.. @giananiicole it sounds terrible but i go into birth knowing all my options and decide in the moment. I would hate going into wanting every drug possible just to find out I could do it. or vice versa. I would hate to want a natural birth and then get an epidural because I could be sad. And I've seen epidural slow down progress too! and that's terrifying. I would hate to get a c section.m ;-;

@bodaciousb6, yea that's how I was too! I knew I wanted to try not to have meds but I wasn't against it or anything I tried to keep an open mind because nothing in those moments is certain and i wouldn't want to be all stressed just cuz it didn't go exactly according to plan. My mom had two c-sections and idk if this is true but she said they move around your insides that are in the way to get to the baby and she said she felt them go back into place after everything 😭😭😭 scares the hell out of me!
