So after reading all these birth stories i finally get to tell mine... so i was 40 weeks and 2 days and started early labor... i didnt decide to call my midwifes till later that day cause i was thinking i was just havingg BH and it was a false alarm...they told me i was in early and 3 cm dilated so i got my s.o to come home and be with me i was having contractions about 10 minutes apart... my midwifes gave me a needle of gravol and i tried to sleep through the night... i got some sleep but woke up every hour with an intense contraction..finally around 5 am i got up and started having them 4 minutes apart... i got in the bath and wanted to labor at home as long as i could ... my midwifes showed up around 7 am and i was 4 cm dilated so i got to the hospital at 8:15ish and got in the tub to labor... my contractions started becoming much more intense and then they suggested to break my water i agreed and then i sat in the bath for about 10 more minutes and felt a big pop... my water broke naturally instead ... now the contractions started getting really intense closer together and i felt the pressure big time... i told them i needed to push so they told me to get out of the tub and a hour later from being 4cm i went to being 8cm ... then i got to the bed and i wanted oxygen or something obviously i progressed way to fast to even have anything so i had to deal with it and i had her at 11;48 am i was screaming it was brutal but all so worth it to meet my baby girl...
