Here's my birth story ladies!!!!

Friday night at 1130 my water broke as many of you suspected. We wait to go in until I was having consistent contractions about 4-5 minutes apart since I live an hour away from the hospital. Got to the hospital and found out I had no dialation progression. Waited till around 6 but was not making any progress still so decided to do some pictocin. Got up to a 6 on the pictocin then showed some progress so we turned it off. Things progressed pretty quickly from there until I hit transition and stalled due to exhaustion and being super tense. Decided to do an epidural and found out I was at a 5 by the time anesthesia got there just the thought of the epidural got me to relax enough I was at a 9. I still decided to get it but it didn't do much of anything honestly at that point. It was about 30 minutes later I was at a 10 and we decided I wouldn't push until I felt the need done I could feel everything. Well about 10 minutes later nurse came in to check and said I should be feeling it soon just let her know. About a minute after she left the room a contraction hit and it was a whole nother beast. I knew immediately something was different by how I felt in my pelvis. All I could do was vocalize and frantically gesture down there to my Doula who was holding my hand to look. She looked and said to my bff to go get the nurse. Nurse came in and Doula lifted the towel so she could look and nurse said guess it's time for baby. My bff went to let hubby know that it was baby time but then all hell broke lose as little Lele was not waiting for anyone. As hubby is sprinting the 6 feet to me my Doula catches Lele's head and the nurse is running over as she's putting on her gloves and barely got there in time to catch the rest of my daughter's body. I never push to get her out not even once. I never felt the urge. My body did it all on its own and it was absolutely amazing. I'm so proud of myself and my birth team.
