My labor lasted like 4 hours in all my water broke at 4:00 am on the 6th and i got to the hospital at 4:30 am. I was 2 cm dilated. 15 minutes later i was 5 cm dilated at that point i felt like pushing already and was in so much pain and bleeding alot. I was on all fours because thats how i was most comfortable. Then 10 minutes later i was 8 cm dilated and i finally agreed to get an epidural but 1 minute later i was 10 cm dilated so i didnt get any medicine. Finally it was time to push so i tried and i aint going to lie i screamed more than pushed because i was in pain. They cut me 3 times so i didnt tear and finally my son was here. They gave me a shot down there for numbing when they did the stitches 10 times. They gave me the shot 10 times and i still felt all the stitches. But it was less painful than birthing lol. But it was all worth it. For my precious son.
