My birth story
Ftm, gave birth at 38weeks and 2 days. After 3 weeks of him being "coming before you next appointment". With that constantly being said I'm anxious as hell, barely getting sleep as it is because of insomnia and at that point was running off a out 4/5 hours in 2 days. 
At 1:30am on March 18, I was just laying down ready to fall asleep when I had the sudden urge to use the bathroom after a couple days of constipation lol. As I'm getting outta bed I stood up and got a little gush and thought I peed myself because I also had to pee, luckily I used the bathroom with the light on (I never do at night lol) and when I looked it was clear my water broke! So I called my doctor and she called L&D to let them know I'd be on my way. I got to the hospital about 2:30am, I was having contractions the whole 3 weeks off and on so they weren't to bad. They checked me and verified it was my water that broke aNd I soon realized I'd be meeting my son that day! I labored on a yoga ball with the intention of going natural and no epidural but by the time 11am rolled around I was exhausted from lack of sleep and the contractions were so intense and back to back I couldn't catch my breath not to mention the back pain I was having. I made it 7cm dilated on my own when my doctor urged me to get an epidural because I almost passed out twice. So I did it and boy it was the craziest feeling.. I was told to get sleep but I couldn't.. Honestly who would knowing that they are 7cm dilated and soon baby would be there. I took a 20 min nap
And woke up feeling funny and I felt so pressure so I told my nurse and she told my doc, I looked at the time and said " my son won't be here at 11:11.. But I say 12:30" and sure enough making his way into the world after 12 pushes, at 12:29pm- what was estimated to be a healthy 7pound 3oz baby was a healthy 9pound 1oz baby 😳. I got a slight labial tear from his shoulders coming out but other than that didn't rip or need to get cut. It was the greatest thing I ever experienced & I would do it over and over, I never knew you could love a person so much until I laid eyes on my son.
