We arrived at the hospital around 3:30/3:45 in the afternoon, filled out paperwork, and went into the triage room to get checked. I was dialated to 5 cm so we were admitted and waited for another 30ish minutes to be moved to a room. Once we got our stuff into our room, my husband and I walked up and down the hallway for about an hour and a half. I went into our room to get some water and relax for a minute, the nurse decided to come in and check me again. I was then dialated to 7 cm (at 6:15), while she was inputting some more info into their system, my water broke (at 6:25), she checked me again and I was dialated to 9 cm. We had to wait about 5 minutes for the doctor to arrive since I dialated so quickly, the nurses kept saying don't push which may have been the hardest part of her delivery! When the doctor arrived, I pushed for maybe 5 minutes and delivered a beautiful baby girl at 6:46 pm on September 19th, 2020. She weighed in at 7 lbs 12.3 oz and is 18 1/2 inches!

I am so incredibly proud of myself for delivering without an epidural! If you have thought about not having one, you can do it mamas!!! ❤❤
