At 39 weeks pregnant was so ready to have my baby girl , I couldn't stand being pregnant anymore , lack of sleep and a lot pain from SPD that I couldn't even walk anymore. 
During the night I started feeling contractions at 2:47 am , at 7:30 am thursday April 9 I was admitted to the hospital and my waters broke, I was planning for a natural delivery, no epidural. I prepared myself for that but after 15 hrs in labor , after trying everything , birthing ball, bath tub, walking , nipple stimulation and pitocin at the end , I had dilated only 6 cm, my baby was in position and ready to come out but with every painful contraction I had to stop the urge to push because I wasn't dilated enough. At 2 am on April 10 I gave up and had to have an epidural , what was the point of suffering all that , I felt like a failure because i suffered for hours, did everything I was suppose to do , and my body just didn't help ... I could get some sleep until 5am and at 6 am I started to push . 7:30 am my baby was finally in my arms !! I had an episiotomy so now I'm super sore , my nipples are cracked from all the nipple stimulation from labor and is hard to feed my little princess, if anyone have a tip on that please share it :) 
I'm super happy with my baby !!! Good luck to you all !!
