I was 39 weeks and 4 days
I was 39 weeks and 4 days. I decided to take the midwives brew to see if it’ll get my labor started. It made and drunk the brew at 10pm. Afterwards I cleaned up around my house and danced while doing it to stay active. I cooked and ate a nice late dinner as well around 12:50am. (Ended up being a bad idea) At around 1:30am I got in the shower and singed and danced my life away for about 30min. By the time I got out the shower, I was already experiencing a couple contractions. I got myself ready for bed but I could never get comfortable enough to lay down. I kept running back to the bathroom thinking I had to poop but nothing was happening. The contractions started getting worse. I went back to the bathroom and threw up my nice steak dinner. Then I knew it was time. I alerted my boyfriend and he got us ready to go. I called my sister and she dashed over. We got to the hospital at 5am and they admitted me immediately because I was already 5 centimeters! I controlled my contractions well with breathing techniques I learned from having my 1st born. I labored in the fetal position because I had bad back pain. The contractions got worse so I knew it was almost time. They checked me again and I was at 9 centimeters! I hopped back into the fetal position to get gravity to move my baby down as much as possible and my water broke. I alerted everyone I could feel the baby coming. By the time I flipped back over to start pushing, his head was already coming out! I pushed 1 time and the rest of his head was out. Pushed one more time and my baby had entered the world. He was born at 6:13am. 7lbs 10oz and 21in
