I was so blessed to have had a good pregnancy, no complications

I was so blessed to have had a good pregnancy, no complications. I was eating healthy and gained weight normally. When my due date arrived and passed without any signs of him coming out I started to worry added by the phone calls and text messages from friends and relatives asking if the baby arrived. On the 4th day past due date I woke up with some mild contractions and escalate the next hours. By 3 pm I texted a friend and asked her the possibility of me delivering that day in regards to how I was feeling. And she said it's possible. I continued on doing things around the house, vacuumed and made some dinner. By 5pm my contractions were getting closer and more painful, an hour after my mucus plug passed and that's when we decided to drive to the hospital. We checked in and the nurse did what she needs to do and told me I was 4 cm dilated already. By 9pm I was 6 cm and 80% effaced, things went well despite the pain. Another 2 hours passed and she told me I was 8 cm that's when I thought of getting an epidural coz the pain was just too much to handle. But I also realized I have come this far to get any assistance and my husband and friends agreed. By 2:30 my water broke and I was 10 cm dilated and they prepared me for the pushing stage. Dr. came in and monitors were hooked on me, oxygen was given and I started pushing, 30 mins passed with no progress and the Dr. noticed meconium already. They monitored more closely the baby's heartbeat and every time I pushed my baby's heartbeat went below 100. And the Dr. worried my baby will ingest the meconium. With full of compassion my Dr. told me she respects my wishes of going natural but for the sake of the baby she needs to perform a c- section right away. Of course I was scared, I did not prepare myself for any surgery but I don't want to be the reason something will happen bad to my little one. At 3:32 am of Saturday Dec. 5 my precious baby was screaming to greet the world which was so sweet to my ears. He weighs 7 lbs and 6 oz, and 21.25 long. I'm finally a mother, they brought him to me and we had a skin to skin contact which felt so good, I was crying all the way, looking at my wrinkly, grumpy and adorable boy. My husband was there with me holding my hands and just feeling the same emotions I had. We are a picture of happy parents. We stayed 3 days at the hospital and now home recovering and enjoying our little one.
