She came exactly one week early ππππ
My 2nd birth story, since I have a 2 year old but this is it!! With my first I got the epidural, but this go round I decided to go natural no meds. (let's just say I am so pro epidural) those contractions are way too much to deal with. Omg! Anyway back to the story sooo on December 3rd, I was doing last minute errands and from noon and throughout the night I was having Braxton hicks that turned into contractions. Then I woke up to use the bathroom and it's was some of my mucus plug so I knew she was coming soon. So the next morning, I went to l&d and was 3cm then within 2 hours 5cm so I knew they were gonna keep me. I asked for stadol and that helped me deal with contractions so much better. But π¨π¨π¨π¨ when it wore off after the 2nd dose I cried for the epidural. So they were preparing for it and everytime a contraction came, I screamed for the anesthesiologist like I kept saying "where the hell is he", by time it was time for me to sit up, I tried to open my legs and my gosh HER HEAD WAS RIGHT THERE. I started screaming "she's coming out nowwwwww" the crew ended up running in and checked me, So I asked of I'm still getting the epidural and the doctor said it's too late. I thought I was gonna die.. In my head I'm like there's no way I can survive with this intense pain. Then I thought about my grandmother who had 4 naturally with no meds... Then I thought about how I can't stand my kids father so that gave me the strength to push and get her out. Well 3 pushes later within 5 mins my beautiful baby girl was here. I did it yall. 6lbs 8oz ππππ 19 inches long. Original DD 12/11 she came 12/4 sidenote : if you want to go natural and really feel like you can't do it.. Pls don't put ur body through that stress! Get whatever u need to get to make you feel comfortable.
