My birth story...

We weren't trying to get pregnant, it just ended up happening that way. We weren't prepared to say the least. The whole first month I thought I had a terrible cold so I didn't think anything of it. My periods have always been irregular so that wasn't giving me any clues. I finally went to the doctor for my cold and they asked if I could be pregnant. I said no but they did a blood test anyway. Got a call the next day with my doctor telling me I was. We freaked out and I got scared and moved in with my sister. After a few months and realizing that was a bad idea my fiance and I talked things over and I moved back in where I am now. The rest of the pregnancy went fine. My due date was September 11. I just had a feeling he would be born on his due date. We went in for my check up appointment on his due date and she said I was 4 cm dilated. I freaked out, started crying, called my mom. I had two options. Stay at the hospital or get halfway home then have to drive back. We stayed and they ended up having to break my water. I got the drug that makes the contractions start and I got something to help me sleep. I also got pain medicine almost to late, the one that starts with a D. My labor started around 12:30 but I didn't really feel it until the last hour. I had a hard time dilating so I got something that let me rest. In about 20 minutes of rest I went from 4 1\2 cm to 8 cm. He was ready to come out. I tried to hold it and not push but he was ready. By the time the doctor got in she saw hair and it was to late. Now I have my wonderful 16 month old baby boy!
