I am still so amazed at my amazing birth story! I was probably in labor the whole day before, we're pretty sure my water was leaking but we couldn't tell and so after much back and forth on whether we should go in or not we decided to wait it out till the morning (Monday feb 13th) to call my Dr and see if we could go in to his office to get checked out rather then going to the hospital just to be sent home if it wasn't my water! Little did we know we wouldn't make it till his office opened LOL! So that was night #4 of uneven contractions that were like a 3-4 on the pain scale. However I got up 4 times to change my pad because of the leaking feeling. At 5:15 am (30 minutes before my husbands alarm for work was gonna go off) I had a contraction that felt like a 7 and I told him "That one hurt" and then it was literally boom boom boom, 1 minute, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 1 minute, 2 minutes. At 5:45 when his alarm went off I went to the bathroom because I felt that I needed to go pee and poop which I did and I noticed a lot of pressure when I was going. When I went to wipe in the front I looked down and the tissue was covered in blood. So we called my mom and she came and said it was time to go in. We left at 6:30 and The whole ride there I was having about pain level 7 contractions. By the time we got the hospital it was 6:50 and they were now about an 8. We got in to triage and they checked me quickly because the contractions were coming quick and I was in a lot of pain. I was dilated to an 8!! And from here on out the pain was a 10! I have never been in so much pain in my life! It took them about 20 minutes to get me hooked up to an IV and in our room and pumping enough fluids in me to get the epidural. By the time they got my epidural in I was already amazingly dilated to a 10! (The nurse was like I'm not about to not give it to you THANK GOD). By the time it kicked in and I was settling down it was about 8 ish maybe? My Dr came and broke what was left of my bag (which was literally like nothing left haha) he said let's give baby more time to come down a bit, and told the nurse to give him a call and get me pushing when I started feeling a lot more pressure in between contractions. So I rested my body for a bit and we just waited. After a while they had me put my right leg up and then they flipped me over a bit later and had me put up my left leg and then the nurse checked and she was super low! She called Dr Washington and said it's time to start pushing so we pushed for about 20 minutes and she was coming so fast they started having me push in smaller increments and only once a contraction to keep her in till the dr could make it 😂 he came in and said let's have a baby! We pushed 10 more minutes and there she was!! Born at 11:08am! It was so perfect! Everything went perfectly! I had no episiotomy, no tearing, no hemorrhoids. It all happened so fast it felt more like minutes then hours!

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!! Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions. The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-15 mins, but the new City Target had opened across the st from my MiL house in Fenway, (go Red Sox! ⚾ ) and I had to coupon (it is a big coupon week!) so, I went to Target and couponed, hurled over in pain every 10 minutes, coupons in hand 😂😂😢 Went home, contractions were really intense and came every 3-4mins, so around 3am I called the hospital again and said I'm having really bad pains, and I can barely walk. They take my breath away and I think I'm in labor. Again, she said I would be screaming and unable to be so "chatty" if I was in labor, and to stay home and go to sleep. Obviously I couldn't sleep with these killer contractions every 2-3 mins now! Monday morning, July 27 contractions were now every 1-2 minutes, intense like someone was rilling out my insides, I tried rocking on the glider in the nursery, tried soaking in the bathtub, but I was in tears from the pain and from lack of sleep for two nights now, so I told hubby if these aren't labor pains I'm not waiting until I'm actually in labor. Let's to go the hospital and get the Epidural (my plan was to go natural) and he's like ok let's go. Arrived at the hospital around 10:15, got admitted, sat around moaning while the nurses told me relax, you'll catch your breath, we will get you a room in a minute. Meanwhile I'm in a wheelchair doubled over barely able to breathe. I thought I was going to pass out from the pain! Got into a room, they listened to baby's heartbeat, and midwife came in to check for dilation. "Oh my god I don't even feel much cervix. You're 9cm dilated honey let's go push!" I almost passed out at that point! I told her I can't do this it hurts soooo bad. But we got into a room, I pushed for the longest ten minutes of my life and out he came! I tore and got stitches, but not from end to end thank god. Still sore and uterus is cramping but everything else is going well. Breastfeeding is so hard! We will get there though! Third night of no sleep so don't mind the bags under my eyes hahaha And yes I am going to hunt down that darn midwife who told me to stay at home cuz I was fine and not in labor! Smh I had a CVS coupon trip planned for yesterday, but I'll take Ezra any day! So glad I pulled through with my plan though. It feels so empowering! Not saying next time I'd do it again 😂😂😂
