I labored at the cinema watching Fifty Shades Freed

I was sure I'd need to be induced as I went further and further overdue. Until I was exactly 41 weeks pregnant and experiencing on and off back pain all night, I had to get up to pee about 20 times which was unusual and everytime I stood I felt a lot of pressure. My husband and I decided to go see a movie that day so I booked tickets in the morning to see the last Fifty Shades (don't judge guys 😂). I was still experiencing the back pain but just put it down to all the walking I did the day before shopping. At 9:30am on the way to the cinema the back pain was starting to get a little more painful and my hips were starting to hurt. My husband asked if I was in labor but I wasn't sure because I wasn't feeling "period type pain" and "all-over stomach tightening" that women described. So I sat through the entire movie, all the while my contractions getting more and more painful. I knew then I had to be in labor. So after the movie we decided to go to the hospital to be checked. I was 2cm dialated and 90% effaced. Disappointed I was sent home to labor for 6 hours until my contractions were getting intense and 3 minutes apart. Went back to the hospital and I had only progressed to 3cm. I literally cried. However they admitted me. Started me on morphine and gas since it was going to be a long one. I started to feel the all over tightening, and my hips and pelvis felt like they were breaking with each contraction. I labored for 19 hours and I pushed for 2 hours but baby girl wasn't budging. Unfortunetly she had to be vacuumed out and I needed an episiotomy. Turns out she was sunny side up and got stuck but she was born healthy!

Sevana Iris was born 7 pounds 8 ounces and 50cm long. Never loved something so much!
