MY TURN

Woke up this morning to a bloody show and crazy cramping. I had my weekly check so I went in and told them.

She checked and I was at a 5 so she swept me and sent me to the hospital.

Got here and the midwife here was like, you’re only 37+4 so I can’t induce without reason. Go walk for 2 hours and then we will check you again.

I didn’t even make it two hours before my contractions went from 7 min apart to 3 min apart and I was on my hands and knees roaring.

She comes in and says yea just by looking at you, you’re at an 8 and you’re staying.

Contractions are now 1 min apart. I tell them to get my pants off and then they wheel me to the delivery room. I roar once and my water explodes everywhere.

They get me to the delivery bed, I have no control at this point and my body starts pushing. I feel the head crown and I roar and bear down. The head comes out and one more push he’s here.

Small superficial tear that didn’t even need a stitch. 6 pounds 10 oz.

It. Was. Crazyyyyy. But he’s here and our family of 5 is not complete! Praying for all you other mamas. Just know, your body knows way more than you think. I can’t believe how fast it all happened when I surrendered to the pain.
