I know im late but trying to adjust to life with a baby is pretty crazy 😊... So for being a FTM i thought id share my birth story because everyone would scare me saying to prepare for the worst and that labor was horrible but i can honestly say it wasnt too bad...sorry that its long !!
Sooo i had a pretty easy pregnancy no morning sickness no crazy cravings no pains only gained 15 pounds was able to walk and was very active up until the day i went into labor...my due date was July 28th and that came and went and was scheduled for induction for 8/2/2016...on friday the 29th my husband and I went to seaworld with my inlaws when i started getting contractions  so we left and since they were frequent we went to get check well it was a false alarm not dilated at all not effaced at all 😞...saturday the 30th contractions were gone so we had a family bbq just hanging out once again no pains nothing... Sunday the 31st morning i woke up at 5 AM with some cramps not to painful so i just dealt with them once everyone woke up at 10 AM my contractions were 3-4 minutes apart...called labor and delivery and was told to go in...i got things ready took and shower and headed over..got check at 12AM and was told i was 3 cm dilated and needed to go walk for 2 hours and go back to get checked.. 2 PM got check was 4 cm πŸ˜ŠπŸŽ‰!!! Got admitted got my room and walked around at 20 min increments for 6 hours only to be at 4 1/2 cm 😞 after 16 hours of contractions with no meds i decided to get the epidural (which is amazing) at 9 PM they then put me on pitocin check me (was at 5 cm) and broke my water at 10 PM i was 8 cm so they stopped pitocin to let me labor on my own was able to sleep and relax until 4 AM on August 1st I felt this painful pressure in my butt like i needed to push but my butt bone was hurting soo bad as well..i kept teling them i needed to push so they finally checked me and i was 10 cm πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰ ... 49 minuntes later at 4:49 AM my baby boy was finally born!!!! A good 24 hours of labor πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸΌ...i enjoyed my labor (except when they told me not to push haha) but it was by far not at all what I expected it was not how everyone made it out to be...so if your nervous or scared think positive because there are good labor stories!!!
