Well….The Midwives Brew actually worked

First of all…I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR THE BS!!! IF YOU HAVE NOTHING POSITIVE TO SAY, WITH ALL DO RESPECT, PLEASE JUST SCROLL PAST THIS POST!

I was 38+3 today and just overall tired of being pregnant; tired of the pain, tired of the depression, and tired of not feeling like myself! My doctor did a membrane sweep at 38 weeks and it seemed nothing was happening! So I decided to try the Midwives Brew! Bought all of the ingredients on Thursday and drank it at around 10 pm that night!! By 2:00 am I was having contractions that were so uncomfortable, I decided to time them! The app I used encouraged me to head to the hospital because of the frequency of the contractions, so I did! I was so disappointed when they told me I was only 4 cm dilated and sent me home. After that, I went home and got some sleep and contractions completely stopped. But I wasn’t taking no for an answer lol. So I walked a ton on Friday and drank another serving of the Midwives Brew at about 11:00 pm. At 6:00 am this morning, my contractions were absolutely unbearable—I knew I was in labor!! This was it!! I Arrived at L&D around 7 am with contractions so painful that I was in tears! My wife was such a HUGE support btw! Couldn’t have done this without her! Anyway…it felt like the nurses were taking forever to admit me (I was 5 cm dilated). The pain was excruciating! I was practically begging for relief! I ended up having a contraction so strong, that my water broke! HUGE gush like in the movies lol. After that…contractions were disrespectfully painful!!!!! They finally got me to a room and I immediately demanded an epidural— there was absolutely no way I could give birth without one! By this time, I was 6 cm dilated (I progressed quickly). By 9 am, I received the epidural and was able to get some relief after about 20 minutes of getting it done. Thank GOD! God personally created the epidural, I swear lol! After I started getting comfortable, all that I felt was pressure; I was in heaven! I progressed to 9.5 cm dilated fairly quickly and by 11:20 a.m., I was pushing!!!

Shiyann Nicole was born at 11:47 a.m., weighing 6 lbs, 4.5 oz and 20 inches long!! She is everything we prayed she would be! She is healthy and born without any complications and eating like a f***ing champ haha! Good luck to you mamas that are still pushing through your pregnancy even though you’re EXHAUSTED!! And congratulations to the mamas that have already had their babies💕❤️💕

**I did not post this to encourage anyone to try the Midwives brew. I am simply just telling MY story🙃
