Baby Boy Mallory 💙 Born 03/25/2017

Da
I started to have regular, noticeable contractions around 4am on 03/25/2017. By 6am I told my husband we should go ahead to the hospital since we live about 35-40 minutes from there. When we got to the hospital the contractions were stronger and about 3 minutes apart but completely bareable! They did a quick check and I was 6cm (I was 4cm at my last two appointments). They quickly moved me into a L&D room were I got IV medicine which knocked the edge off before getting the epidural about an hour later due to it being shift change. I got the epidural at 8cm and not even an hour later I was 10cm! I pushed for 10 minutes, maybe 3 pushes; my contractions were really hard to feel, and then my Little guy was born at 10:29am. He weighted 7lb 12oz!
When people say that natural birth is better it is 100% true! I was induced with my first and wanted to be with this little guy because I hate the unknown. I like to have a plan and schedule however, my doctor wanted to wait until 41 weeks. This labor went extremely quick and was 100 times less painful! Good luck to all of you expecting mommies!
