So I was suppose to be induce 2days before my date. When I got to the hospital I had been having contractions for a week & a half and didn't know it. I had contractions every 10mins but I wouldn't dilate after a 6 hrs of trying to slow down my contractions they finally put a balloon type thing inside to help me dilate and about 5hrs it fell out and I was finally 5cm. After another 12 hrs and them giving me medicine or so I dilated to 9 and stayed there for awhile but had the urge to push. Finally I had enough and had them check me because I had to push and her head was right there. I had them bring in a mirror so I could see her coming out. And after a hr of pushing my beautiful baby girl aaliyah Rose was born on her due date and she was a healthy 8 lbs 12 oz and 22 inches long. I'm so in love with her! I did get a epidural at 5cm it only helps with contractions I felt everything when I pushed but she was so worth all the pain♡♡♡
