My Birth Story!!

Well it all started on friday. I had
braxton hicks back to back basically but
wasnt convinced that I was close to labor
so I ignored them lol. About 4:20am
saturday morning, I was awaken by a
contraction. Wasnt painful just a little
crampy.This happened all day saturday.
They wasnt regular but by 7pm I decided to
go to labor and delivery anyways to see
whats going on. Well when I got there I
was still a fingertip and my contractions
were between 3-10 miuntes apart. So they
sent me home and told me I wasnt in labor!
We left and went to ruby tuesdays and
ate. By the time we got home my
contractions were 6-7 minutes apart. I
still wasnt convinced I was in real labor
so I stayed at home and sit on my exercise
ball lol. Later I tried to get some rest
but couldnt my contractions were getting
a little stronger but nothing I couldnt
tolerate. By the time 4 0'clock came
around they were even stronger but I was
still laughing though them. Then we
noticed they were 5 minutes apart so I was
actually convinced that my labor has
actually started. We got to the hospital
and I was 2 cm. They broke my water and
put me on pitocin. Thats were I started
getting the painful ones. I was still
laughing though. They gave me a shot of
demerol but it didnt help at all. Pain
was still there. But I have had worst
menstrual cramps. Bout an 2-3hours later
later they checked me and I was 3cm so I
went ahead and got an epidural. Then they
checked me again around 11 and I was 8cm.
Theeeeen 10 minutes later after checking
me, I started feeling the urge to push so
they checked me and I was already 10cm
 so they called the
doctor to let her know, which by the way
wasnt my doctor it was the one on call,
and I began pushing. 35 minutes later she
was out!! I had my beautiful duaghter at
11:52am sunday morning!! I only had 2
paper cut 'tares'!! ( I definatly
recommmend the massaging , kind of
uncomfortable but it was worth it lol)
that was the most beautiful experience I
have ever had!! I will never forget the
feeling of her head and body popping out!!
Im sooo in love wit her!!! Becoming a
mommy is the best thing that has ever
happened to me!! Mommy <3 .Amelia
