My little man is here! He was born in Halloween and it definitely didn't go as planned. I made it all the way to 8 cm with no epidural and stayed at 8 cm with no epidural for 5 hours. My doctor came in and said I think you should get the epidural because his heart rate kept dropping into the 80s and 70s when I would have a contraction and if in two hours I didn't change she was gonna have to do a c section and she didn't want to have to put me under. At 07:51 PM my little man was born <.3 it's not ideal but my little man is healthy and that's all that matters.
