I cannot believe I’m writing this. My baby girl Rosalyn Ivy made her appearance today! All Sunday night I just felt OFF. I knew something was up, I had anxiety so bad and I could just tell she was coming. I got minimal sleep so I called out of work in the morning and made an appointment to get checked. They squeezed me in at 9:30. The doctor was so shocked I was at a 6 and so were we! I had 0 pain. I was skipping down the halls when he said he was going to send me to the hospital. So we ran home and grabbed our bags and headed there, probably got there about 10:30. I stayed at about a 7 until my doctor got there and offered to break my water at probably 1:30. After he did I immediately started feeling more pressure so I hopped on the birthing ball. I bounced out two contractions and KNEW it was time. I told my doctor I was ready to push and sure enough I was! I requested to be on my hands and knees and he was happy to let me listen to my body and do whatever I needed. I felt the urge to bare down and just went for it. I have minimal recollection of pushing other than my husband and mom talking me through it. I got a little bit of anxiety when I felt her crowning and she went back in. But my husband sensed it and told me I had worked too hard and had to give into the pain. That worked! I just kept baring down and going because it felt so good to relieve the pressure. They told me she had a head full of hair and that was the last motivation I needed to get her out because I wanted to see her so bad😂 at 2:53 I finally got her out. Daddy cut her cord and handed her to me once I got turned around. I was so in shock and just trying to focus on her and honestly that’s how it’s been all night. Still in shock! I can not believe I made such a perfect baby and fricking did it all with NO pain meds. I only had a small tear up in my labia and so far I haven’t been in too much pain. Just pure bliss over this angel😍 her daddy and I are smitten.
