my labor
I'm a 18 year old teenage mom.. I started my early labor around 10am Friday the 17th
of June.. I had woken up and was bleeding... I thought something was wrong because I was under a lot of stress (my boyfriend left me) so I called up my sister an explained to her I was bleeding and she immediately came and got me and went and got my mom and we headed to the health center... There they told me I was in early labor we got back around 2pm and I just tried everything to go into active labor around 9pm the contractions started getting painful but I didn't want to risk going just to get sent home again. It's a 2 hour drive and we already went out there that day. So I waited and waited and about 1am my mom looked at me and said I think we need to go to the hospital so she calls and asked them.. They wanted me to wait but we didn't.. We got there and it was like 330am and I was 3 cm and they told me to get up and walk around for two hours.. About 15 minutes into the walk the pain was getting bad so I went back into the room to try and get comfortable(yeah that didn't happen) I asked the nurse to check me again but she said no she didn't think it was enough time to dialate anymore. So I sat there for a little bit then decided to get into the shower and I thought I had to go to the bathroom and I told my mom I had to push and she came in and pulled me off the toilet and put me in the shower but I couldn't stand so we got a nurse in there and they told me they needed to check if I was in active labor and I was like "I'm pretty sure I'm in f*cking active labor" and they had to rush a bunch of doctors in for me. And I was screaming for the epidural and they promised I'd get it as soon as I get all the fluid in me and the med I need (tested positive for strep b) but when she checked me I was dialated to 9cm and I knew then I wasn't getting that epidural. So they told me to lay on my back to break my water but I couldn't move so they just worked with me. And told me to do whatever my body is telling me to do. So I pushed . About 10 pushes (maybe ) and I had my daughter at 5:57am Saturday June 18
