Just wanted to share my labor and delivery story for anyone that’s interested😊
So woke up Monday morning at 5 am with contractions that were 10 mins apart, tbh I didn’t even know what a contraction felt like but I knew these were different. Every wave started at my back traveled towards my pelvic bone and radiated down my thighs. I timed them for 3 hours straight until I could go to my doctors office (I had a 40 week appointment anyways) as soon as I went in I was checked and was told I was 4-5 cm dilated and in labor so I was sent to labor and delivery. I waited a good 5 hours with contractions that were 3 mins apart before getting the epidural. I was 6-7 cm when I received it and a few hours later they broke my water, put me on a bit of pitocin to help things out and by 10:30 PM I started pushing. I pushed for an hour straight and baby Saif was finally born at 11:37 PM. Weighing 8 lbs 4 oz and 20 inches long I have 2nd degree tears and tears in my urethra, which means I have to be on a catheter for the next 24 hours😭 I’m in a lot of pain. Recovery so far has been very stressful and painful but it’s all worth it for my little man. ❤️

@the.real.og, I wanted to wait a little longer and see how far I could go honestly. Contractions aren’t fun but breathing really is key!!
Congratulations 🎉. Wishing you a speedy recovery! And easy transition into motherhood! 💜
Aww congrats love. Those tears will heal. My first born ripped me as well and I'm so scared for the delivery of my second because of him maybe ripping me but you don't really feel the rip when it's happening your to wrapped up in everything else. But still those wounds will heal and baby boy is extremely gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love birth stories.. they're so interesting 🤗 congratulations on your baby
Congratulations! He’s perfect! I didn’t tear my urethra but I had internal and external tears. It was bad.
💛💛 that’s amazing bee that you got to do your thing natural !! Congratulations on your boy he’s beautiful !!!
I had 3rd degree tearing and internal tears with TONS of stitches. I feel you! It was a long and painful recovery and still hurts from time to time even after 10 weeks. Congratulations on your baby! He is absolutely precious! 💙
I had 2nd degree tearing and a tear in my urethra too. Extremely painful. I'm sorry girl. My pain lasted a month. With this last delivery I barely had any tearing and just a couple of stitches but I'm still in a little pain when peeing. Lol it hurts either way i guess. Congratulations on your baby boy!!!
@the.real.og, no my nurses were really good about letting me choose what I wanted and how I wanted to go about it. Make sure they listen to your wants and needs mama!
