My due date was 10/11/24 but my boy had other plans and was born today 9/2/24 at 34+3 days. I started feeling contractions around 1 am. I thought I needed to potty but it was contractions. I began tracking them when I realized the contractions would come and go. I called labor and delivery around 4 am and because my first son was born at 36+4 so they told me to go in. My contractions were stronger and when they checked me I was almost 7cm dilated. Baby was born at 11 am. An unmedicated birth 🥹 This isn’t my first rodeo however having to leave my little baby in the NICU is. I’m having to pump every two hours to start my milk supply because my goal is to breastfeed my baby but he can’t eat on his own yet.

If you have gone through this. Are there any words of advice that you can share with me. I need them.
