birth story !

On October 19th all day I was feeling crampy so I told my mom I'd most likely be goin in that night I just had a a feeling, so I decided before I went in I want to be nice and full and so around 5pm me end my family went out to eat for sushi 😋🍣 and in the restaurant I was having terrible cramping but didn't want to say anything, we left around 7:30pm and in the car I told my mother to be ready jus in case, when we got home I got my laundry folded my clothes out them away and gave my son a bath and this whole time I was having contractions and timing them when they finally got to 3 to 4 min I got in a nice hot bath and drank some raspberry leaf tea and they where pretty bad by then, I got out the tub and and got dressed and told my mom I was ready, called my mid wife and she said come in so I went in and they asked did I need a wheel chair and I said no because my contractions was bad but I could still manage to walk, got checked and I was only 1cm and my mid wife said I can be 1cm for weeks and if he was coming he'd be considered preterm ( I was 36+6) asked if I wanted to go home or monitor for an hour so I decided to go home It was around 11pm by then, we went to am the store and the whole time I was having contractions so when I got home I got back in the bath and called my child's father, he told me to call him when I progress, when I got out the tub my contractions was so bad and I had to time them again and they were 2-3 min apart, called my child's father again around 2:15am and asked him to come over so he can help ease some pain, he came and by that time my contractions where 1+2 mins apart but I didn't want to go inand get sent home again, they finally got to the point where I couldn't time them anymore and was on the floor crying and screaming so he told me it was time to go and I agreed so he tried to get me dressed but it was so painful, every movement every step killed me, so we finally got in the car and and he drove like a bat out of hell and a ten maybe fifteen min ride felt like 5 years lol this time when I got in I begged for a wheelchair by this time it's 3:30am so I'm 37wks now. So the mid wife checked me and I was 3cm so they got me in a room contractions terrible and I'm throwing up with every contraction and begged for the epidural and I felt every bit of it the needle and w.e else they did plus contractions but after it was heaven, so maybe two hours later I felt pressure and I was fully dilated and was ready to push, I pushed for 8 mins and felt burning OMG ! Then my perfect 6lbz 4oz 19.5 inches Angel of mines was born 😍😍😍 just perfect and healthy as can be born at 37 weeks exact so he's not preterm !!
