First time mommy (pictures included)

So I finally got pregnant with my first son and I was due October 5th, 2019. I honestly couldn’t wait anymore because of my sciatic nerve pain so I decided to get induced October 1st, 2019. I got to the hospital at 6am settled in and got induced by 6:30 am my mid wife didn’t show up until 8am to break my water.

By 8:45am I started getting contractions so I stood up and walk around and danced a bit lol.

Once the contractions started getting a little stronger i started bouncing on a ball and moving side to side

but then I decided to use the gas for pain so I laid down and started to get really dizzy and ended up puking.

So i stopped using the gas and after I was okay i got inside of the bathtub and it helped me relax a lot but once the contractions were very close I got out and went back to the bed but facing down. They lowered the bed down by the feet and I was on my hands and knees. I started to push around 12pm for an hour. I was so exhausted and in so much pain I would pass out between contractions and then wake up to the contractions and it was horrible. My midwife then decided to have me lay on my back but slightly slanted to the side and to start pushing. Honestly the pain was so much I thought I wasn’t going to be able to do it and I was at the moment regretting not getting any medications. But by 1:46pm my son was born and when they first put him on my chest I was overwhelmed by happiness I was crying soo much and I didn’t even care about the pain anymore I was just so happy to know I had my son with me. I was in labor for 5 hours and the nurses told me for being a first time mom that was pretty fast.

He weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 21 inches

2 weeks old

And he is now 3 months old and I thank God for my bundle of joy!
