LABOR WAS SO GOOD!

after waiting like crazy for my baby, we was born last Tuesday at 40 weeks and 3 days. Went to my doctor's app she said she was going to induce me 2 days later but she checked baby's movement and decided to send me to hospital right the way... I went home, had some fruits, cleaned a little then headed to the hospital. I was nervous and scared but all I kept in my mind was that I was going to have only POSITIVE thoughts and that I wasn't going to think on what was coming but just GOING WITH THE FLOW... I got my IV... I hate IV's but I was still been positive, I was already 4cm dilated so my doc offered the epidural but I wanted to wait.  got some pitocin at 2:30pm to start labor, at 5 my doc broke my water I was already 5cm contractions elevated from 0 pain to 5 in minutes, I called for my epidural at 7pm let me tell you... The IV was more painful than the epidural and my doctor messed it up so he had to do it twice and still it wasn't that painful and the only thing in my head was to stay positive!!!! At 9 I got checked my doc said to wait a little more and at 11:00 pm I was ready to push!!! I was positive pushing as hard I could doing exactly what they told me, giving it my best and 38 minutes later my beautiful baby boy was out. THE BEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE!!!! Tears came out running down my cheeks and I was just so happy, I have never felt that before, I WISH I COULD RE-LIVE THAT DAY ALL OVER AGAIN. It has been only a week and I miss that moment so much!!!! But baby is here with me, I have no pain at all I got no episiotomy no nothing... DONT BE SACARED OF LABOR stay positive and go with the flow! ENJOY the best day of your life!

Congratulations! I also enjoyed my labor, so I'm so glad to hear someone else feels the same way about theirs, when I tell people I had an enjoyable experience they look at me like I've got a stick hanging out of my eye lmao
