February baby

Ashley • mama of two 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

Our March baby decided to be a February baby.

My due date was March 6th. Around 12:30am contractions started but were 10 minutes apart. At 5am they were 6 minutes apart and we live an hour from the hospital and the weather was awful so we decided to head in.

Get there and I'm still only 4cm dilated and contractions have slowed down. We walked the hospital for 2 hours and still no change. Around 9:30am contractions stopped for good 😠

Bc we live so far away and bc I labored and delivered so fast with my first, they decided to admit me.

At 3pm they broke my water. At 3:45pm labor started. At 4:30 we called for an epidural but I didn't even get it till 5pm. At 5:20 I started pushing and she was born 5 minutes later at 5:25pm. The epidural didn't even work due to how fast things moved! No tearing, no stitches.

She came exactly one week early. Weighs 7lbs8oz and is 19.5" long
