Baby born at 39+1

Elizabeth

Labored at home for 4 hours until contractions were 5-6 minutes apart and pretty painful. Arrived at hospital at 5am and was 5cm. They admitted me and I Decided to hold off on drugs 😳🤦🏻‍♀️. I decided to get into tub instead and That helped for a few contractions, but then they picked and were really intense. I could barely make it back to the bed before needing to push and they told me I was almost 10cm. This is my 3rd baby and I had epidurals with my first two, so going natural was definitely a new experience and to be honest, it was awful!!! I made it through even though I literally thought I was going to die, and had baby at 6:32am. I give a lot of credit to the mamas out there that have gone natural more than once... wow! My baby boy was 7lbs 20inches and was worth all the pain. Good luck ladies...and take the drugs before it’s too late!!! Lol
