Birth story

Hello All! 🖐

I had my daughter on 12•12•19,

Due date was 12•11•19 ( which was also my oldest daughter lillians' bday, she turned 4)

I woke up contracting @ 5am on 12/11 got my three boys ready for school dropped off by 7:45 still contracting couldn't really tell that they were getting stronger but they were sticking and weren't going away. Had at doc appointment that morning @ 8. They checked my I was 2 1/2 centimeters, that Monday I was a 2. They put me on the monitor and I was contracting 3 to 5 minutes apart. I could feel them but bearable. Doc gave me the option to got to the hospital for pain management but I decided no I was going for a vbac so I wanted to make sure i was in labor first and also I hadn't seen my 4yrs old yet and it's her bday. Went home got her luckily my husband's couldn't go to work bc of her work truck was gettig fixed, so he wasn't working a full day. We too our daughter our to lunch. By this time when a contraction hits it is painful I cant tally so Is making me laugh and it makes it 10x worse. We go to leave and we are right by the hospital and he keeps asking if I was to go and I go back and forth on rather to just go. I didnt we went home instead. Got home went and tried to lay down and literally got onto the bed and I had a really bad one and was like nope I need to go. And packed the last little bit and told him I need to go. My daughter, husband and I loaded up, I'm glad i did when I did bc it got Intense quick. It felt like forever before they go me Into a room, I was birth hard through my contractions. Got up to a room they got me all checked in, questions asked. It was about 2pm when they started hitting me really hard, I'm at the hospital by myself I have four other kids at home that my husband is there with them. It took hours before I got my epidural I was 7 1/2 centimeters went to a 8 In a hour my hubby brought my kids up to see me after I got the epidural they stayed for about a hour and left. It took about a hour for my husband to get back and they checked me as he came back and they were like "your at aaaa oh there's her head" lol they said I pushed for 45 mine but it felt so much quicker than that. @ 1:02 am 12•12•19 Mere Allison Jade Smith was born at 9lbs 03oz 21in
