i wrote this almost 10 times and never finished ...
on June 10 me and my husband go in for an ultrasound appointment not knowing that this was gonna be my last one . we get home at 7:30 pm and im feeling contractions .. they didnt hurt as bad but i felt something . they were 8-9 mins apart . around 9 or 10 they became stronger and closer together around 5-6 mins apart . i call an ambulance and they take me to the nearest hospital . around 11 doctors check me , im at 3 cm but almost fully effaced ... ( i was closed last week at my 35 week appointment ) man these contractions hurt like bitch 😂 but you know i was easing through them . got my husband by my side falling asleep . around like 4 or 5 in the morning my contractions felt like they were getting father apart so they discharged me ( my husband already left like 1 hr and a half before ) June 11th i was home all day with no contractions until that night . that night was insane . i couldnt sleep . every 7 mins i sat up in the bed trynna ease the pain . i was doing that all night , peeing all night . June 12th Wednesday morning , im up early 8 am 😂 i cried for about 30 mins before waking my husband up to come in the shower with me because i was scared to shower alone . 9 am comes around and i feel like i gotta take a mean shit 😅 everytime i had a contraction i needed to shit . now im sitting on the toilet and i feel like pushing the shit out but i dont because i didnt feel like it 😂 my contractions are 2-3 apart , back to the hospital we go . we get there around 10 , my midwife ( in my birthplan i wanted a midwife not a doctor , they seem less frightening ) checks me looks me in my eyes and said " your at a 4 ... yep your not going anywhere " GREAT IM BOUTTA HAVE A BABY TODAY . 🤦🏽♀️ i still feel like i gotta poop thou . every nurse in the world was asking me " how far along are you ? " i didnt take prenatal care there , i went all the way to another borough to take prenatal . i yell back " 35+6 " i got two women trynna take blood outta me , one asking me if i want an epidural . yes i was begging for it , originally i wanted it all natural but i just wanted the pain to go away . they finally stick an IV in me and put me in a wheelchair and roll me to the delivery room . my midwife comes in with about 3 people from the NICU team to explain to me that because he's premature he has to go into the NICU . im practically ignoring everything because im hurt and because I FELT LIKE I HAD TO POOP . around 12 my midwife checks me and now im at a 8 . im looking at my husband like " you really did this to me " im yelling for my midwife . she mad funny she was like " sweetheart i hear you loud and clear i was right outside your door " she asked me if i wanted my water broken to speed this up and hell yea i did . 12:30 my water was broken , 12:45 i was checked and im at a 9 . my husband being a dickhead like " ima give it 8 or 9 mins " honestly , the poop felt like it was right about to come out so im telling my husband " Isaiah go get her babe or ima poop on myself " he got her . 12:56 She checked one last time and told me " Next contraction ... push " im like oh shit , oh shit , oh shit . im pushing and pushing . i did shit , i made sure i did that . midwife telling my husband to sit down cus he looking a lil woozy 😂😂 . i feel a head outside my vagina and with one more push i felt his shoulders and rest of his body come out . my son didnt cry , my son sneezed as soon as he came out .
Isaiah Keshaun Edwards Jr was born 6/12 at 1:09 pm . 35+6 , weighing in at 5lbs and 9.6 oz and 18 In long . delivered via a natural birth . no epidural , no stitches .
my mom got there like 5 mins after i finished pushing and after my son peed on all the doctors . i didnt get to have skin to skin with my son . 10 mins went by and the NICU come and swoop my baby up and i tell my husband to follow them . i didnt get to see my son until 6 at night .
i got to feed him every chance i get . he was discharged the same day i was . he had low glucose but regulated by the time we left .
Isaiah just turned 2 months yesterday , and weighs almost 11 lbs now and almost 2 Ft long ( 22 in ) . this is the love of my life and at 19 years old , i was blessed with the best thing that ever happened to me .
