Wanted to post my labor story since I didn't have this app yet after my baby was born. (She's almost 4 weeks old now) It was January 5th the day after my due date. I had random cramps contractions all morning, then a doctors appointment at 2:30 where I was 2cm dilated. After that me and my bf did some shopping went out to eat and then walked the mall for 2 hours the whole time I was having contractions that were irregular and not painful. So convinced that I'd be pregnant forever I went home and relaxed. Got up to walk to the living room around 7:45 and had a contraction that broke me out in a cold sweat.

So with no warning the doctor came in and broke my water and attached a monitor to her head. Then not long after that they finally came in to do my epidural. Which was around 1-1:30. My pain instantly turned into pressure and I felt like I needed to push but she wasn't down far enough yet.

Use the vacuum to get her out as fast as possible. I pushed twice and her head was out then one more time and she was born at 2:56 am. She weight 6lbs 1oz and was 19ins long.
