First Time Mom birth story

Tyree`sMommy💕 • Hello! I`m Raqueal and I`m a Grad student🎓 and first time mother to a 11 month baby boy 😍
Friday June 16, 2017 around 12:30 am my boyfriend and I decided to have intercourse because we hadn't did anything Ina while. About 2 hours later my water broke 😳. At first I thought it was just some discharge until it started pouring down. Afraid, I woke my boyfriend up and we headed straight for the hospital, only five minutes away. We made it there around 2:30 am. Once I got there I was admitted and they immediately began to Monitor my me and my Son. The nurse I had gave me a steroid shot for his lungs just in case they weren't mature enough to work On their own since I was only 36 weeks 5 days. They also gave me steroids because I have lupus. The doctors and nurses monitored me all day to see if I will go into labor on my own, but I didn't. Around around 2:00 pm that afternoon (June 15th) doctors decided to start labor and use Pitocin. I was pretty upset knowing how Pitocin works but I had no choice. It took a while for the medicine to kick in but when it did! Oh boy! It was super hard contractions, at 3 and 1/2 centimeters I was begging for an epidural! I just couldn't do it ☹️. After a while the medicine took effect and I could sleep on and off for a good 2 hours but then it started to wear off. I cried super hard but the pain was so intense but the anesthesiologist gave me more mess and I was able to relax a bit more. The entire process was just so long and hard! They kept turning the Pitocin up and down because my Son wasn't agreeing with it. By 2:00 pm June 17th I was ready to push! (Thank God) I pushed for 15 minutes and he as out! Boyfriend was with me thru the entire process 😊. I'm so glad it's over and I love my son so much. Meet Tyree Deshawn everyone!
