Baby has arrived

Saturday I go to the hospital because I felt a gush of fluid while putting things together in baby's room. The doctors check and no my water had not broke. They wanted to monitor baby for a while because she wasn't very active. After about 10-15 minutes and turning to lay on my side another big gush that just kept coming. My water had broke around 5pm. No contractions though. I was admitted to the hospital and around 8 they started me on pitocin to induce contractions.it was slow at first but by about 12 I was hurting but only dilated to 5cm. I was tired and hungry and ready for it to be done. The contractions were coming every 3-5 minutes for a couple hours and when checked around ten to three I was still only 7cm. After being checked something must have happened cause contractions seemed to just never stop. I felt the urge to push about five after three they told me to wait. I couldn't though. My body did what it wanted and needed to do on its own and she was coming. All I could keep saying was she's coming I can't stop her she's coming. Two contractions and two pushes later she was here. 3:16am my baby girl had arrived. 6lbs 8oz 20in long at 37 +4 weeks. She's healthy and perfect in every way. We're home and adjusting but things are wonderful. I'm so happy she's here. Aniyah Raiyn-Marie my little angel.

Congrats.  Your daughter was just so excited to get into this world.  As she gets older bet she will command a room with her presence.  Careful she might be a spitfire.  :-)  My daughters delivery was some what similar for our first.  Your post brought a smile and so many memories back.

You are so blessed and thank you for sharing.
