Birth Story:
Woke up yesterday with some contractions and Baby feeling low. Got the girls ready and dropped off. By 9am I called my husband to come home as contractions were consistently 10mins apart. They calmed down a bit and I was able to chill, eat breakfast, watch a show and relax. Sent my husband to the pharmacy to grab our daughters RX around 1:15. I turned on my Christian Hypnobirthing app and swayed next to the bed for awhile. Contractions started to pick back up and were about 5mins apart around 1:45/2pm. Txt Becky and called Mom & hubby to let em known it was go time around 2:15 as contractions were about 2.5mins apart. Got to the hospital at 2:40pm. Got checked in, went to triage. 3pm 6cm dilated, 90% effaced, -2. I felt a lil discouraged I was only 6cm because the contractions were INTENSE. Nurse came in to take me to my room. I declined the wheelchair and started the walk. My husband ran to the car to grab our bags and meet Becky. Got hit with a super intense contraction, took a second to breathe through it. Finally got to the room and the nurse ran to get me a birthing ball and some ice water cause those contractions had me sweating. Hubby and Becky walked in. Water broke and I felt a little dizzy. Becky suggested I lay down in the bed. I attempted, and immediately wasn't feeling comfy. I was on hands and knees trying to find a better position and I felt baby's head coming. I said Baby is coming out! Becky hit the call button, hubby ran to the hallway to grab a nurse. Before any hospital staff came in, Baby was out! Becky supported babe to the bed, I leaned down and met our new slippery babe, picked him up and welcomed him to his new world. 💙 🍼💙”
