Perfect Labor! **RAW PICTURES**

So my due date was originally November 21st. I had my last doctors appointment the 19th where I was told I would be induced on the 26th. I was 2cm dilated and 80-90% effaced.

Well on the 24th at 8pm, I started getting really bad period-like cramps while I was cleaning the house getting ready for my induction on Tuesday. I didn’t really think anything of them. I decided to try and take it easy and sit on the couch. Well my stomach was contracting with each cramp. I was SURE this couldn’t be the real thing cuz I had no back pain. I decided to time them just for kicks and each contraction was 4 minutes apart! And by 9pm they were 2 minutes apart! I now was CERTAIN this was the real deal. I tried to take a shower before heading to the hospital and damn was that hard.

We got to the hospital at 10pm and I was 6cm and 100% effaced! I couldn’t believe how quickly I was progressing. Considering I never lost my mucus plug and my water never broke.

At 11:30pm, I got the epidural, and was 8cm! It partially didn’t work on my right side, but I was still thankful. At 12:45am, the doctor said I was 10 cm and broke my water. Three contractions and a couple pushes later, out popped my beautiful baby boy!
