My birth story

Akua

So my due date was 7/13/2021. Baby came Friday 7/2/2021 at 9:59am. A week before his birth I had mini contractions, fast forward the Thursday which is 7/1/2021 my mini contraction turned into labor pains. I remember my mother called me at 1pm from work to check up on me that was when I told her my symptoms. Around 6pm my pains started getting intense and that was when I started timing my contractions. At 9pm boy o boy I was in full active labor , call my mother n we head to the hospital. I think the moment my foot step into the lobby of the hospital my baby sensed it. They call a wheelchair for me . Upon arriving in the labor and delivery I was told , I am only 2 centimeters, doctors said we might have to send you home. I said hell no I will sleep in the lobby of this hospital . I refused to leave and two hours of nonstop contraction I jump from 2 to 5cm. Mind you the hospital was full of mother giving birth. I ask for the epidural at around Thursday 11pm , didn’t get it until Friday 6am, it was heaven, My OBGY eventually came into the hospital at 7am Friday morning , my water was still yet to be broken. At 8am my water was broken . At 9:30am I started pushing , 9:59am my handsome little man was born. First baby and need I say child birth is THE most painful thing ever . God bless all women 😘
