My due date was originally the 28 of December, but she came the 23 but Isabelle decided to come early. My contractions started at 501 am in the morning and they were about 3-5 minutes apart then moved down to 1-2 minutes apart. When I was checked in the hospital I was 5 centimeters already, so they admitted me. They gave me some medicine to not have the contractions so painful and I wasn't time to push.. so after that I was 7 centimeters and thirty minutes after I was 9. I decided to go natural, and I must say that really opened my eyes about having children again. It's my first child and the pain during the pregnancy was worth it. I've got a beautiful baby girl out of it and I'm thankful.
