I went to Renown Hospital on Wednesday June 7th for congratulations, but I was only 3cm dilated and they send me home. Once they send me home my contractions was getting stronger and stronger. I couldn't sleep I was crying and I try everything relaxing in a nice warm bath and that didn't help. I try to stand in the show that didn't help. I was in my nursing chair rocking back and forth that didn't help. I try to walk around that didn't help. The next day on Thursday June 8th I went to the Pregnancy Center they just put me on the monitor to hear the heartbeat and keep track on the contractions. They didn't even bother to check and see how many cm dilated I was. I was crying, because I was in so much pain and that I couldn't even walk. One of the OB/GYN told me just to go home, and I was crying and I couldn't talk and my husband told her can you tell she in so much pain and she crying and the women reply and tell him that's why she has you to give her back rub, and we look like at each like that won't help me with the pain. So, I told my husband let's call dad and have him to take his home and my husband was like we should go to the hospital. I told him let's ask dad and see what will be good to do to go home or to the hospital? So, when my dad come and pick us up I was having bad conversations and that I couldn't even get into the car. Once we got into the car and dad was driving and we ask him what does he think we should do and he told us to go the hospital and he drop us off at the hospital. Once I got to the hospital they put me in the delivery room where I know they was going to keep me. The nurse told me you back again and I told them yes and I'm having bad conversation and she ask me if I went to the Pregnancy Center and I told her yes and they told me to go home and then she ask did they check you and I told her no they didn't and that's when she check me and I was 4cm dilated and she told me let me guess you want the Epidural and I told her yes please. So, I got the Epidural once I got that I was already 5cm dilated and they come back to break my water bag once they did that I was 8cm dilated. They have to give me some type of medication to get my contractions closer together, because they was far apart from each other. Once they give me the medication things was going perfect, and I was 9 1/2 cm dilated and at 8:00pm I was at 10cm and that's when they had me started to push and once I started to push the head was coming out and things got wrong, he got stuck for a little bit, because I was running out of breath and they put me on oxygen and that was helping a lot and once I started to push again that's when the doctor noticed his little face is up instead of down. Yes, he was born face up and at 9:39pm I welcomed our handsome son into the world. After I had our son they have to put lots of stitches down there.

I don't wish on anyone to go through that.
