So I’ve been dealing with the contractions for 2 days. Finally decided to come in because I was tired of them saying wait it out. When we first got here I was 5cm dilated. We’re 8cm dilated now, my water is broken and the epidural is kicking in. I’m so excited and ready. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY MAMAS. If you feel it’s almost time, GO. If I would’ve waited any longer I probably would’ve had him at home 🤣 but I will keep y’all updated!

Congrats! How was getting the epidural ?

it was a breeze tbh. They say a lot of people are afraid of the needle but I barely felt a thing. They had me relax against a pillow while she relaxed my shoulders then he put the needles in. I had two contractions in the middle of it because of how I had to lean over but I just kept focusing on my breathing and didn’t move. Also we were all talking about random stuff so it was a good distraction too!

thank you!!
