I Was Due December 21st, Or Was Going To Be Induced December 25th. Starting A Day Or Two Before My Due Date, I Had Lots Of Mucus Discharge & Mild Menstrual Cramps. On December 21st (My Due Date) I Was Feeling Perfectly Fine With No Contractions Except Braxton Hicks, But Around Midnight Leading Into The 22nd, I Started Having Contractions & Each One Was Perfectly & Consistently 6/7 Minutes Apart. Those Ones Lasted For About 2/3 Hours & Then I Noticed Them Getting Stronger & Closer Together. I Actually Posted On This App If It Seemed Like A Good Idea To Go To The Hospital. & Good Thing I Did! By The Time I Got There I Was 4cm Dilated, 100% Thinned & Contractions Were So Close Together. They Broke My Water About An Hour After I Was Admitted, & Honestly It Felt So Good When They Did It! I Had So Much Fluid Inside Me That There Was Puddles On The Bed, And All Over The Floor. But Once My Water Broke The Contractions Got Even Worse! I Was Just About 8cm Dilated When I Asked For An Epidural, HOWEVER, The Guy Did It Wrong & Absolutely Nothing Was Numb. Around 12pm My Doctor Came In & Said I Was Going To Start Pushing Around 1, He Didn’t Come In Until About 1:45. I Immediately Started Pushing & Was Only Pushing For About 25/30 Minutes & My Beautiful Babygirl Was Born December 22nd, At 2:15pm, Weighing 7Ibs 10 Ounces! Throughout My Pregnancy I Was So Nervous My Baby Wouldn’t Have Much Hair When She Was Born, But When I Started Pushing I Heard So Many Nurses Plus My Boyfriend Say “Oh My Gosh, Look At All That Hair” 😂.

Also; Contractions Hurt WAY More Than The Actual Pushing! (In My Opinion).

I Had A Healthy Vaginal Delivery & Only Tore On The Inside! It’s Been Almost 24 Hours & Were Waiting To See If We Can Go Home Today!
