Labor Storytime

Last Friday I was I began having contractions and I threw it off as Braxton Hicks. Wrong. They became frequent enough for me to use my contraction counter on the Baby Center app. Ahhkayy so I put up with the pain all of Friday. Went to the hospital 4am Saturday morning because girls 😶 The doc says I’m 3 cm and has me walk laps around the unit for 2 hours. Still 3 cm. Then.. they. sent. me. home. Needless to say, I was back within 6 hours because I thought I was dying. But wait, this is the good part 🙃🙃 I was 8 cm and in L&D; telling the staff to put a pep in their step and get me some effin drugs. I’m laying there screaming, and the nurse tells me it’s TOO LATE for drugs. Girl what. For all the preggos, the contractions are worse than the baby actually coming out. Anyway, I got to the hospital at 8:30 and had my daughter at 8:50. Ladies, the process is as long as you make it. I was not playing games and I wanted that child out. I say a good 5 pushes and sis slide out. No tearing! Just abrasions. And they gave me 1 Motrin afterwards and I couldn’t get another until the very next day. My baby girl is perfect so it was well worth the pain! 💛 btw I have zero tolerance for pain and I promise you can do it too. Sorry to all the L&D; staff that I cursed the entire hell out. Didn’t mean it lmfao
