November baby is an October baby 💕

Born almost 3 weeks early. October 22, 2016 at 6.9 lbs and 19.5 inches. My original due date was November 8 but I guess she decided to come early. Her dad was gone for a week because of the army, and the night he came home I went into labor (sex probably quickened the process) because I was already feeing some pelvic pressure for about a week. I got contractions every 3 minutes and waited at home for about 6 hours. Then went into the hospital at 7 in the morning I was 4 cm dilated and 70% effaced. They told me to walk around for a couple hours to get things going. I went back and I was about 5 or 6. I was admitted, hooked up the iv and contractions got stronger. I had pain meds (fentanyl) twice, the second one at 8 cm. I wanted the epidural so bad but I fought the pain because my mom had bad experiences after she had it done and I didn't want that. The broke my water at around 430pm, I don't know when i started pushing but it took me 20-30 minutes. She was born at 557pm after 19 hours of labor (start of contractions to end). it was definitely harder and more painful than I was expecting and the contractions were the worst but I'm glad I have my baby in my arms and I can call her mine ❤️👑 I don't think I'll ever get an epidural, I just need a few years for another baby 😂
