Tuesday night I was in watching movies with my boyfriend. I happened to have eaten an entire bag of takis during the movie 😅. I was feeling good and just went to bed. Around 2:30 am I had a dream that I was having a contraction and sure enough i woke up and i was. I didnt think anything of it until about 20 minutes later I had another one, these contractions continued to be consistent and got way closer together so I woke up my mom and my boyfriend and headed to the hospital. When we got there they checked me and I was only 2 cm dilated so they sent me home. I live about an hour out of town and the whole way home the contractions got stronger and closer. By the time we made it home I got in the bath and then immediately got out because I felt alot of pressure and at this point i was crying because of the pain due to back labor. We drove back. This time when i got there I was 7 cm almost 8 so i was admitted. I was BEGGING for the epidural.

Once I got the epidural things felt like they went so fast even though they really didn't. My epidural only took on the left side of my body at first so they kept giving me more and more until eventually you could stab me in the leg and i wouldnt notice. Few hours later i was finally at a 10 ready to push. Still feeling awesome. I pushed for 20 minutes before my doctor realized he was kinda stuck and got the vaccume to help. He came out so fast after that his cord literally snapped in half and everyone freaked out. There was blood EVERYWHERE. Luckily they were able to clamp it fast enough it didn't really effect baby. My handsome little man was born at 6:25 July 31 weighing 8 lbs 6 oz and measuring 20 and a half inches long.

Moral of the story.... Spicy foods work 😂
