Maria

So I finally get to write my birth story so on January 4th around 10:30 I was bouncing on my yoga ball felt a lot of pressure like I had to poop I went to the restroom and couldn’t poop so I had to pee then I felt a big gush come out so I tell my boyfriend that my water could of broke so we go to the hospital mind you I’m not getting contractions, I was 40weeks and 5 days that Thursday January 3 I had a doctors appointment and I wasn’t open at all so I had to go back the week after ,

we arrive to hospital they check me in and I’m about 1-1 1/2 cm open so she pulls my cervix so I can start opening ,the nurse tells me it wasn’t my water so then she tells me I’m getting induced they start pitocin around 1am or so can’t really remember , the contractions started slow then got more intense I ended up getting epidural at 4cm, then I was having contractions then by 4:00pm my water breaks and I start pushing I couldn’t feel a thing I was so numb my right leg was really numb nurses had to help raise my leg because I couldn’t by myself then within 30 min of pushing she finally arrived at 4:32 pm labor wasn’t so bad besides being nauseous but shout-out to the moms who don’t get epidural I couldn’t take the pain because I had to be laying down and I wanted to be standing or walking it helped me but nurses didn’t let me , the pain afterbirth to pee was intense first couple days were hard but it’s been getting better babygirl has been getting a sleeping routine and boobs don’t hurt as much , I’m not going to lie I don’t think I would have another baby the burning to urinate is a horrible feeling but seeing my princess grow makes me change my

Mind !
