Finally got the natural birth I dreamed about.

Adreana

This is my third baby and due date is tomorrow nov 8th. The previous two were induced at 38 weeks and a few days. I had an epidural and episiotomy with the first and a spinal block with the second. Contractions started at 7pm last night. Continued through the night 7 min apart. They got painful and closer around 7am. I refused to time them after 7am because I was in too much pain. I was at home alone with my 6 and 3 year old. I made the kids breakfast, got in and out of the bath, bounced on my ball. Then around 9:17am I really started feeling the contractions and asked my husband to come home ASAP. He wasn’t coming fast enough so I called My mother in law and asked her to come pick up the kids. And I texted my mom to pick me up at 10:31am to take me to the hospital. I started to feel the urge to push when I was waiting for my mom. We got to the hospital at 10:57am. I got here fully dialed and ready to push. Gabe (my husband/baby daddy lol) got to hospital finally, from work, first couple pushes broke my amniotic sack. Joshua David Marcano was born at 11:54am November 7th 2018. No IV, no meds, no tears. Not gonna lie I asked for pain meds when I got here but it was way too late. He has already nursed and now my husband can’t put him down.
