My birth story....
I woke up on July 7 2016 at 3:30 am with contractions that were not regular..around 5:00 am the contractions got more regular and a little stronger..so I went to my moms house and hung out there...at 6:30 am I started timing them they lasted for about 40-60 seconds and were about 5-7 minutes apart...I had a doctors appointment at 10:45 and I wasn't dilated anymore from the last time I was checked..so I left my doctors appointment and kept on getting contractions..well around 2:30 pm I went to labor and delivery to get checked I was at about 2-3 cm dilated so she monitored my contractions and had me walk for an hour then she checked me again at 4 and I was like a good 3 and my contractions were longer and more painful so my doctor admitted me..I walked some more and my doctor came in around 5:30- 6 pm to check me and I was about 4 cm she tried breaking my water and that didn't work...after she left I got in the tub and sat till about 8:30 and the nurse checked me and I was at a 5 and my water was bulging my doctor tried to break my water at that time and it worked...I started having really strong contractions and got back in the birthing tub around 10 pm well around 12 am I got sick and got out of the tub and I was fully dilated...I got the feeling to push and was told to wait since my doctor had not shown back up well at 12:14 she showed up and I pushed for 30 minutes and my baby girl was born at 12:44 am July 8 2016 all with out pain medication ftm
