Birth story

Leilea Irie Ambriz 💖7 lbs 1 oz, 19.5 inches

Only had a four hour labor..water broke in bed at 4a.m, got to the hospital by 4:30, had her at 8:30 a.m! I got the epidural around 7:45 a.m but little did they know I was already 9 cm dilated so I was in so much pain because the epidural wasn't kicking in 😭 (doctor says it takes longer to kick in if moms dilate fast) once the epidural finally got me numb waste down, it was 8:15 and only 5 min to go until push time!! I was SO relieved when the epidural kicked in I couldn't even feel any contractions at ALL.. and when it was time to push.. I couldn't feel it!! Doctor said I was pushing more in my head than my bum. So I gave it all I had and tried my hardest to push down there.. pushed her out in 8 minutes 💜 she is such an angel it is SO true that you really discover what unconditional love feels like once you have a baby.. I couldn't stop crying when they put her right on my chest for skin to skin. She was pure joy
