I went into labor around 430Pm, and labored at home for about 3 hours. Then we came to the hospital. About an hour later my contractions slowed down so much I just knew there were going to send me home. But since I was getting induced a few hours later they decided to just do it then. I didn't want an epidural. But demanded one I super soon after being induced. You ladies who don't get one are tough! It took four tries and an hour to get it in and was the worst part of being in labor. I slept the rest of my labor, literally.  I almost fell asleep during pushing. Epidurals are amazing. I pushed for about 45 minutes and she was here. She's so precious. And her cry is adorable. And my husband is amazing. He was so calm the whole entire time. I wouldn't have been able to do the epidural without him.
