11/28/15 - 12/02/15

I've been really enjoying reading your birth stories and my sweet boy is 3 and I still remember the day like it was yesterday 💕

Nov.28

my now husband left for his 12 hour shift at 5:30pm (6pm-6am) I was at my moms on her exercise ball eating a popsicle and watching a movie. At 7:30pm I started having contractions and I was only 38w5d, but 10 minutes apart. I texted my husband and told him. Of course he's doing too much😂 so I tell him its nothing to worry about because they are tacky so far. Well at 9pm they were 4-5 minutes apart still bearable but more frequent and annoying! By 9:30 I called my husband and told him the update. I didn't want to go to the hospital until it was time because I know they send you home if your not in active labor. Well 15 minutes later IM IN HELL!

9:45ish I'm on the phone with my husband telling him to get his ass home NOWWW!😂😂 10:15 comes around and the contractions are every 4 minutes going strong! I call my husband who works maybe 20 minutes away, and I hear" yeah, that's all. Wassup babe?"

Somebody tell me why this fool stops at JACK IN THE BOX🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ wth. I threw my phone and told my sister to take me. 10 minutes later hes home... with food😑 anyway we FINALLY get to the hospital and they hook my up to the monitor and I had 3 contractions then they stop ! I was so mad but it wasnt for nothing I was 3cm dialated and 70% effaced. They still sent me home they said come back if they start again.

Nov.29

I woke up ran some errands. While I was in Ross I started leaking 🤦🏽‍♀️ so embarrassing. This older lady seen and cried 😭😭😭 I started to cry then she went with me to find my husband in the store while trying to claim me down with lovely advice! We found him and left back to the hospital. When we got there I was in "active labor " but my water had not broke just leaking. We walked around for 30 minutes and then I got checked I was 6cm and 90 effaced. It stayed like this until the 1st.

Dec.1

They started pitocin. At 11am by 4pm I had no progress so they put this annoying balloon thing in until 8pm then I was a 7. She decided to pop my water bag😖 i seen the midwife touch the sterile things with her bare hand but I figured she knows what she is doing 🙄the contractions were bad! I was still able to talk through them tho.

by 10 pm I was a 8 and asking for something to help me sleep because I've been up and they gave me something via IV that knocked me out!

Dec.2 (Dom Day)

I woke up briefly throughout the night but still had good sleep! At 7am they checked again and I was 100% effaced and 9cm. I was ready to start practice pushing. That went on until my doctor arrived at 9am he said I was 10 and he could feel my baby right there.... he lied 😂😂

I pushed and pushed for 1hour and 22minutes 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

And out came Dominic Isaiah

7lbs 15oz

21in

We had a infection because of the midwife's carelessness!

He had a fever and had to go to the NICU for a few days

Here he is now he hasn't been sick since!

Thanks for reading 💓💕
