I posted my birth story in the Feb 21 group but wanted to post here too.

On Sunday 1/31 me and hubby decided to go to the mall just to walk around. I started to get some uncomfortable pains but nothing too serious. So I got home around 10 and decided to do a work out I found on YouTube that is supposed to help induce labor. Well around 12am I started to get contractions. Hubby and I decided to have intercourse to help get things going. All night I had consistent contractions 10 mins apart they never got any closer. They were extremely painful though so when I got up at 9 am on 2/1 I called my ob to explain what I was feeling since I had an appointment that day I wanted to see if they wanted me to just wait to be seen or just go to the hospital. Well she sent me to my birthing center. I got there at 2pm and got checked I was 5cm and got admitted. Was checked again a few hours later I was at 6cm. So they broke my water to get things moving a little faster. Contractions were getting worse and closer together. Well around 7:30 I was checked again and I was 8cm well 2 horrible contraction & 15 mins later I was fully dilated and ready to push. Nurses and doc came rushing in. Well one push and baby girl came flying out at 7:45pm weighing 8pounds 11ounces 19in long.

Welcome Baby Elena Faith Rivera 🥺❣️
