Birth Story šŸ„°

Destiny ā€¢ Baby Lover. šŸ‘¶šŸ½šŸ’• Mommy of 1 āœØ Baby Flores #2 coming 7/6/23

Isaiah was due on Valentineā€™s Day but I just knew that he wasnā€™t gonna be that baby. I knew he was going to want his own day just for him cause heā€™s stubborn as hell šŸ˜‚. My husband and I went to Pappasitoā€™s for Valentineā€™s dinner and everything was great! Didnā€™t have to wait too long, food was fantastic as always, and we went on our way! We got home around 10/10:25pm and got ready for bed.

Around 10:45 pm is when my contractions started. They were wonky at first and I wasnā€™t too worried about them given that I had been having off and on contractions since Sunday. But once an hour went by and they were increasing with intensity and they were lasting the amount of time I was supposed to expect, I knew that I was more than likely going to have a baby soon.

I let another half hour go (12:30 am) by and I decided to call my midwife to let her know that I thought it was time. She told me to come in and we got to the hospital at 1:00. I got my cervix checked at about 1:20 am and I was 8 cm dilated and 90 % effaced at -1!!! By 2/2:30 am I was pushing and by 3:29 am, he was here!!! No pain medication at all. FTM. I would say I killed it!

I did suffer a third degree tear. And it was a very long long process to sew back together. More painful than pushing baby out. I actually told my doctor Iā€™d rather do that over and over than go through the pain/pressure I was having to sew up every tear.
