One hell of a birth story 💙

It started at my 37 week checkup. Lots of contractions but only a cm dilated. Thursday I started having more painful contractions. When I was up and moving I could get them under 5 minutes but couldn't get them to stay that way so waited until my doc appointment the next morning. 38 week check up on Friday morning. Now 4 cm, 50 % effaced with contractions while on her office. She sends me to L&D.; Again, up and moving, I could get them under 5 minutes but couldn't get them to stick and wasn't really progressing. So we went home. Lost part of my mucus plug that night. Woke up Saturday morning with a small gush of "fluid". Doc sent me back to L&D.; Test was negative for my water so got sent back home. As soon as I got home I started feeling wicked period like cramps which turned into contractions. Went to the bathroom around 5 or 6 and lost the reat of my mucus plug. Contractions were under 10 minutes whether I laid down or got up & walked. So I labored some more. They never really regulated to under 5 minutes like they say but then I started feeling the pressure. I knew it was time to go back to L&D.; We got to the hospital about 10:50. Nurse gets me hooked up and I dilated to 6 cm. FINALLY started to make some progress. Nurse leaves to get the paperwork to be admittes, I send hubby back home to grab our bags. Not even 5 minutes after left, my water broke during a contraction. And holy shit, it hurt! At this point in screaming and crying during contractions. They were literally on top of each other. The urge to push came on QUICK. Barely got my IV in at this point & my doc was on her way. Hubby had come back by this point too. I have NEVER lost control of my body the way I did last night. I literally cried, screamed, and shook during each contraction. Everyone was running around trying to get everything set up and trying to get the anesthesiologist in to do my epidural. Doc finally shows up, tells me not to push but I had no control, he was coming. She looked down and boom, there was his head. I could FINALLY push. My doc delivered to his shoulders and stepped aside to let my husband to the rest. He delivered the bottom half of our baby and put him on my chest at 12:11 AM, Father's Day morning. Showed up at the hospital by 11pm, admitted by 11:50 and Jameson Jay was born at 12:11am. That was my longest and my shortest labor out of all three. I did not have any intention to deliver him Naturally but I did. It was the most terrifying, painful, wonderful, rewarding thing I have every done. My husband got the greatest father's day gift he could ever ask for. Our son is perfect and our family is complete.
