Not what I was expecting

I was terrified to give birth but I ended up having an amazing experience! I went to the hospital Sunday ( 4/3) morning with contractions and a little spotting, my dr had wanted me to get checked. After monitoring the baby and my contractions for a while, I was only a 1 so they sent me to labor at home. The contractions got stronger throughout the day and into the night. Finally around 4am I went in. That was seriously the worst pain I have ever been in. The nurse in triage checked me and I was only 2 cm. She definitely didn't believe me when I told her I knew he was coming so she told me to walk for an hour and come back to be rechecked. Five mins later my water broke, went to labor and delivery and got my epidural. Fast forward to 10cm, when I started pushing my contractions were very irregular. They were coming 7-10 mins apart so it took me almost 2 hours to crown but it was good because I was able to rest in between. When it was time he came out in one push! I was absolutely shocked! I ended up with a 3rd degree tear but he is so worth everything. I honestly loved my experience and would do it a million more times!
