Birth Story

I had my baby girl Monday February 1st.  My due date was February 7th but I was scheduled to be induced On February 2nd. After dinner around 6pm on Monday I started having pains. At my last OB appointment 5 days prior I was at almost 4cm so Im sorta surprised I went 5 more days and so was my doctor actually. My contractions were 5-6 minutes apart. We got our stuff around and in the car and we got to the hospital a little before 7. I was checked and was at 5cm i immediately told them I'd be wanting an epidural. I was past the point of getting any other pain meds. Once you are at 5cm you can't get pain meds apparently. They put me in a delivery room and said they'd have to get a bag of iv fluid in me before I could get epidural. It was taking forever and I was in a lot of pain. Contractions were very close at this point. I asked if I'd get and epidural soon since the bag was almost empty the nurse said I could probably get it as long as I wasnt too far dialated. She checked and I was at 9 1/2 cm. I was too late for an epidural as well. I was bawling the pain was bad and contractions were pretty much one after another with little break. I had to do it completely natural. I wanted to give up but obviously I couldnt. I had her at 10:16pm only a little over 3 hours after I got to the hospital. I pushed for less than 5 minutes. Thankfully labor went so quickly since I wasn't able to get any pain meds. Arya Renae Rose was 7lb 3oz 20.5 inches long.
