Birth story 2/4/17
I had been 5cm dilated since 36 weeks. At 37 weeks I was 6cm dilated. Well that same day which was a Friday, my husband and I went to eat hot wing. I order the hottest one since I heard spicy food made you go into labor. Anyways we got home around 4:30pm my son and I took a nap woke up at 7ishpm and since I woke up I was having pain on my lower belly but nothing I couldn't handle. I then ate some pineapple At 11ish they started to get a little stronger and closer together. We went to bed at 12:30am, and the contractions were like 7 mins apart and lasting about one min. I fell asleep and woke up at 2:30am and they were a little more painful. I got up to the restroom and lost my mucus plug after that the contractions were really painfully I felt light headed and could barley walk through them. I woke up my husband got everything in the car. We arrived at the hospital at 4:45am got admitted and I was 7-8cm dilated. My doctor got there around 5:45am she checked me and I was already 10cm dilated, she broke my water and said if I wanted to wait 5 more minutes for the epidural or start pushing. I couldn't handle the pain anymore so I just said I would start pushing. So she said she was going to get ready and to start pushing the next contraction I got. So as soon as she walked out I had one and with one push my baby girl was out 👐👐👐👐. She was born at 5:54am. I was so glad the pain was over and I had my baby in my arms. The doctor was surprise I had her with one push.
She was 18in. 5lb 15oz.
