I was due on 2/5, I woke up at 11:30pm on 1/30 to my water breaking, contractions started around 12:30 and I went in to the hospital at 7am. Once we got to the hospital baby was monitored for a bit to check his heart rate and contractions, than I began walking around, tried a yoga ball, and than got into the tub for a few hours until around 12-1 my doctor checked me and I was 6cm! I got out of the tub and began nitrous oxide until I gave birth, the only form of pain relief I used was the gas and there were no complications besides a little tearing! Xander Elias was born around 3-4pm at 6lb 10oz!
