labor story(:
My handsome little man made his grand entrance 12/23/14 at 1:28am
Let me just say i am absolutely in love. It truly is an unforgettable and magical feeling to hold your baby for the first time. This experience gave me a new meaning for love.
Well me and my man did last min Christmas shopping saterday the 20th. I swear we must have walked that entire mall. I was so exaughsted after! And i started getting cramps while walking to the car and that night. My tail bone and pelvic bone was in so much pain that night. It felt like it was breaking. (The 18th my doctor told me he dropped alreAdy) Sunday i was getting little cramps here and there but i didnt think nothing of it. Sunday night i went to bed around 10:30, oh man' i was tossing and turning all night! I could not sleep the cramps were so bad. It was getting to the point were i was feeling nausea from the constant pain. I woke up at 7am went pee and when i whiped there was some blood. I freaked out and woke my man up and said we have to go to the hospital now!!! So i took a shower, got dressed and we left. They told me im smiling, im too happy to be in labor lol they hooked me up to the machineand said. Im 1.5cm dilated but probably in false labor. If it hoes away its false labor if they get stronger and im no longer smiling come back in. But not until i am not smiling anymore.we went home. My mans mom came over we talked and hung out. Then around 11am went to brunch. I could barely eat my stomach was hurtting so bad. Came home by 12, tried to take a nap, but in too much pain. Took another shower. Rolled
On my birthing ball. Around 3 they started getting stronger and harder to breath so my MIL drove me back to L&D they told me im still smiling, this is my first baby,when im in real labor im not gonna know what hit me. No one thought i was in labor and i was starting to doubt it myself at this point lol they checked me again and turns out i was 4 cm dilated! Whoa, finally im getting admitted!! They get me to the birthing room and get things going. I was breathing through my contractions, and doing pretty good. If you breath through them they are not that bad. My man had to leave work early. He got there around 4:30 he was walking with me. Around the hospital, massaging my back reminding me to breath lol it did not start getting bad until 6-7 centimeters. Thoes contractions where when i couldnt take it anymore and finally go the epidural. I was so scared of the epidural. It hurt but honestly the level of relief you get after is worth it. I wanted to go natural, but i did what i could take. The epiduRal relaxed my body so much, i was falling asleep before they were done. My body was so relaxed i was having contractions less than a min apart ( i didnt feel a thing) but my poor baby had no time to take a break in between contractions, they were coming to strong and too fast, his heart rate was starting to drop. They were probably gonna have to do an emergency c-section if they didnt get it back up. They gave me a shot to slow down my contractions! At last his heart rate picked back up(: but then i started shaking uncontrollably from the epidural. Like it was really bad, i could see my man getting scared. I was so relaxed and numb from the epidural i didnt understand what was going on! Im a worry wart i would have freaked out buti was oddly calm. Any whoo, his heart rate started dropping again so they had to give me another shot later on to slow down my contractions again!! Around 11:30ish almost 12 i started pushing. I was taking breaks in between. By 1:28 my little boy was born! 6Lbs 2oz 20inches long!!!
I did tear, not to my butt but on the insidr ftom the sides. I have stic
Stitches, when she was doing them i was not all the way numb so when she was doing it i felt it all lol but i was so mesmerized by my baby i didnt even care !! My left leg was completely numb after birth, i could not move it. I couldnt move
move my leg until that morning around 9am. My advice is taking a birthing class if you want to go natural. I probably could have done it naturally if i was better prepared. Breath through the contractions, ive heard squatting with your contractions but i didnt try it myself. Just stay positive. The contractions might be worse than pushing. They are more intense and exaughsting. When you push it releaves some contraction pressure. The crowning part was the hardest for me. Good luck mommies! You can do it. I believe in you all (:

I was 38 weeks and two days(: i did not take anything to induce labor. I planned on trying the milk and oj concoction on the 23rd when my man went on work vacation, but our little guy did all the work for us. He was just ready i guess!(: i had a very easy and normal pregnancy. I gained 30pounds. I stayed at home and took care of the house. Cooking and cleaning. That kind of stuff. I cleaned everyday, im an OCD cleaner lol That was the most excersize i got. I did not have very much sex in the begining but towards the end my sex drive picked up drastically!! Lol
