I had started to have light contractions around 1:30a-2:00a they were bearable and inconsistent I was dozing in and out for about an hr and around 3a is when they started coming and boy were they painful! I was able to tough it out for a little while longer. We live about 40 mins from the hospital I was admitted at 4:35a and was already dilated to a 7! I was thankfully able to get the epidural it made it a breeze! I had about 10 practice pushes to get her ready, then it was time. The doctor had just got into position and said "Next contraction let's push " well as soon as he told me to push that's what I done and she came right on out on the first push! Had to have 3 stitches. She was born at 7:48a weighing 8lbs 3oz, 19in 3/4 long. FTM and we are so in love with our Emily Rayne. 💞💞💞💞
