Hello Baby Boy!!

Yesterday we welcomed our little boy into the world weighing in at 7lb 8oz and 21 1/2 inches long.

I had a completely natural birth not gonna lie it hurt like hell! I very little tearing and am recovering just fine.

This is my second baby so my labor went pretty quickly I came in at 8 cm dilated had them break my water and he was born 15 minutes later!

If you are still waiting and worried about tearing o highly recommend using evening primrose oil and drinking Raspberry Leaf Tea. I swear this moved my labor along quickly and smoothly

Good luck ladies!

The evening primrose oil helps sofen the Cervix and helps with the effacment. I was 2CM dilated and 40% effaced on Monday. Friday night I inserted 2 gel tabs before bed woke up at 4:30 having contractions. I went into labor and delivery I was in early stage of labor 4cm at 90% effacment. I think it helped move things along.
