After 12hrs of irregular contractions they intensified and regulated in 15min

1am I was having strong contractions 1-2mins apart

Home alone I was waiting on my ex to come pick me up to take me to the hospital. After an he wait he arrived and we made it to the hospital.

I’m very much calm and excited thru this time. Taking it one contraction at a time (man was that pain intense) we make it and my plans of waiting for an epidural were out the window.

I was told 15-20min and I would have relief... 40 mins later I’m still feeling every contractions. After they topped me off I was good to go. But there was that moment of panic like what if it doesn’t work. How do I get thru this?!

Epidural ran out just as I hit 10cm went thru the same thing again till it was topped off. Then it was go time!

Would do this again tomorrow for this sweet face!!!
