My birth story💙

So first of all, I had been having high bp my last week or so or pregnancy and the doctors kept saying we needed to keep a close eye on it. Tyler (my husband) being the amazing man and father he is, made me buy a bp cuff to check it at home. We did and he had me check my bp when I wasn't feeling great. It was higher than my normal but not anything horribly bad. He had me check it twice more throughout the day and the numbers weren't going down. So he begged me to come get checked out. So I did. Well while at the hospital

my bp spiked to 188/112 and they freaked out and decided to induce me. I was admitted and everything was just such a blur. They started me on the foley bulb and followed with pitocin to get my labor going. They put me on magnesium because of my bp being so high to prevent seizures. With this medication I was not allowed to get up from bed due to the fact it made me very tired and weak. I made it to 5 cm without any pain. They came in to check me and broke my waters at 4pm. Things happened FAST. The pain came as soon as they broke my water. The contractions got stronger and harder so rapidly. I wanted a natural birth so badly so I kept breathing through the pain to the best of my ability. It got to the point where I didn't feel but 30 seconds at most of a break in between. The pain became unbearable I started asking for iv pain meds around 5:35-5:40 because I knew I couldn't sit still for an epidural. They went to go get the meds but checked me first and said well momma your at 9.5 cm so no pain meds for you. At this point I had the urge to push and I could barely stand the pain. I was screaming and I wanted to push but they kept yelling no not yet. Finally I was able to push and it was so very painful but after about 8 or 9 pushes my baby boy was here at 5:52 pm on September 5th. It was the worst pain in the world but I did it! I am so so very proud of myself and I can't believe I brought this beautiful 7 pound 1.6 oz baby boy into the world.
