My first daughter was born healthy and perfect. I was induced and forced to take the epi because I was in so much pain and the docs couldn't check my cervix. Once she was born they placed her on my chest and in seconds handed her to her father. 1 min goes by 5 mins 15...now I'm begging and crying for my baby! finally the nurse grabs her and hands her to me. Second time around there's lots of family. Once my baby girl was born not even her father this time, they handed my brand new baby girl to my cousins boyfriend. She was passed around 4 sets of hands and then taken for 20 mins of tests. I hadn't even touched her yet! To add insult to injury her dad forced a name on her that I've grown to accept. Third times a charm! This time I skipped the OB and got myself a midwife! I was NOT having that shit this time around! I did what I had to do to get labour started, went to the hospital no one believed I was ready for  delivery but they checked and I was 7cm dilated! Yea biatch! I know my cervix! 😋 Broke my water but had a cervical lip! No pain meds! Stretched that cervix to 10 cm! Now I'm pushing three good into ur vaginal floor pushes to deliver the head! His heads out now the body!  I reached my hand down and grabbed that little boy and push! Pull him onto my chest and don't let that sucker go till I have to get stitched! Named him myself! Noah! This time around I will be doing a water birth! I'll update tall in March!
