Birth story

Due: 12/18/22

Arrived: 11/4/22

33 weeks and 5 days

Was in denial it was labor. Labored from 8PM till 4:30 AM finally said we need to go to ER now. (Contractions were 10 minutes apart.) Gave me 2 shots to stop labor. Neither worked. Did a magnesium drip, felt like a died, didn’t stop labor. Also received 3 bags of IV fluids in 2 hours. Got transported via ambulance to a hospital with a NICU. Had my baby girl vaginally at 11:50PM after a painful labor. The contractions were so much longer and more intense after all the drugs. Only pushed for 15 minutes after water broke at 11:30 PM. Baby girl was 4lbs 15oz and 17.44 inches long. The most beautiful little thing I have ever seen. We had a 2 week NICU stay that was rough. But home now cuddled up with her momma.

We are beyond blessed.
