My Birth Story

Well to start off on Monday night my husband came home from work and I had been having small contractions. So I told him I really think that we should go on a walk to help them get stronger. So we went on a walk. I decided to jog a little. When we got home the contractions started getting really bad. 2-4 min apart for 2 1/2 hours. So I called the Doctor at about midnight and he said to come in.

When we got to the hospital they put me in the birthing natural room. After being there for a few hours they finally admitted us. The contractions were horrible! Yes... I was screaming and crying the entire time. It was SUPER hard breathing in and out and trying not to think about them. They were not giving me a break... barely 2 min. apart on them. By far the most painful thing I have felt.

The nurse was very supportive in me doing natural. She tried helping me breath and very encouraging. My poor husband... trying to be supportive in me doing natural and trying to help me and I just yelled at him most of the time lol. Poor guy. He was amazing.

After about 7 hours I was like screw this! Give me the epi NOW. My husband kept asking me are you sure? You have your plan... your not thinking straight. And I was like NO I don't care about my plan anymore! This hurts too much I can't do it anymore. So they got someone in there fast and gave me the drugs! lol...

I really wish I could have endured to the end but HOLY COW. I'll have you know... my neighbor did natural and called me a baby. LADIES every women is different. Everyone feels the pain different and different strength of it. So don't you dare call me a baby ;) I'm so glad I tried though. It was an amazing experience.

Our little one was born 7-30-13 at exactly 10 AM one day early from his due date. He weight 7.2 lb. and 20 inches long. Very healthy little boy! So amazing and I feel so blessed to have this little man in my life.

WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU (for the most part)

So I'm just going to say it like it is my friends! This is for the people that haven't had a baby before... just a heads up. You know the massive needle/tube they put in you for the epidural? It doesn't hurt. It just feels really weird. After having the baby... WARNING first pee HURTS like holly Hannah. Mine was bad enough it hurt for almost 2 weeks going to the bathroom. Did they mention your vagina is the size of Texas and you scream at the sight of it the first time? Oh yes... and my favorite that no one talks about- depending on the pain killers you go on you WILL be constipated :) and let me tell you it's awesome not pooping for a week. I know this is all way T.M.I. but I'm tell'n like it is! Did I forget anything? Please comment below if I did.

Look like crap feel like crap...
