FTM birth story !

E.A.C.

Baby Octavio was due August 8th but he decided he wanted to come July 28th. Before this I had no signs of labor. I was 1cm dilated already and about 70% thinned on the 25th. I went to a water park on the 26th for a few hours, the 27th me and my bf had sex and then I woke up on the 28th at 315am to go pee and let my dogs outside just like any other morning.. I had bad cramps in my lower back but I figured it was just my mattress hurting my back again. At 430am the pain was still there but it kept coming and going about 10mins apart, so I thought okay it feels like pains when you gotta poop so maybe that's what it is.. I went poo (TMI) but it didn't go away. Now it was in my lower belly also.. I figured I'd let my boyfriend know what was going on that I thought maybe it was labor. I decided to lay down to try to get some sleep but it just kept getting worse. So at 8am I got up and walked around a little bit, at 945 I decided I'd try to shower and shave. At 1045 they was even worse so I thought it's time to go to the hospital. I didn't think it was real labor until I got there at 1145 and they checked me. I was having back labor and I was dilated to a 4 and 80% thinned. An hour later I was 5cm and 90% thinned. I got the epidural around 330pm (best thing ever made lol) I got a perfect epidural, I could still move my legs and butt, but I didn't feel labor pains anymore. They checked me at 530 and i was 9cm dilated and 100% thinned but he was still up high. They had me sit up and a half hour later they checked again I was 10cm. So about 630 they started getting me ready to push. At 705 I started pushing and at 758 my baby boy Octavio Alexavier came screaming into the world weighing only 6lbs 9oz and 18 1/2 inches long. Born 10 days early. I was lucky to have such an easy labor with him.. I tore a little and got 3 stitches but I'm healing pretty good. It hurts to pee and sit down but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.. here's my baby boy!
