Birth story

Joa • In love with our 3 children,so blessed and thankful 🙏🙌👬👶👑
I have had three natural births but with my last, my daughters birth I was induced. I had already dialated to 3 cm when i decided with my doctor to speed up my labor. I went in to the hospital at 4 pm and started pitocin at 5-6pm. I ended up getting my water broken at about 10:30pm because I was already 5 cm and that speeded labor really fast. My contractions were a lot stronger 40 min later. They were so intense I had to get up off of the bed and move from side to side in a squatting position to move her head doen lower and move things along. It was more painful but faster. At 12:15am I couldn't take the pressure anymore and told the nurse I had to get in bed and start pushing. She  hacked me and I had already dialated to 9cm. She had me start pushing to have her crown and then called the Dr. At 12:34am she was here! I pushed about 4 times while the doctor was in and she was out. I did year and got 2 stitches because her hands were on her cheeks coming out. But it was all worth it! I finally have my princess and she is to be 1 month old tomorrow. My first two were preemies and she was full term. It was such a different experience.
