At 38weeks and 5days, baby boy made his appearance. Due April 8th and had a March baby! Water broke at 6:45am on the 30th. I waited a few hours and went in around 9am. no contractions at this point and dilated only at a 1cm. Started on Pitocin around 12. Labored heavily for 7 hours. Got my epidural in. Within 1hr 1/2, went from 4cm to 10 and delivered him with 4 pushes 15 min later. Time 10:29pm. Overall labor 11 hours! I had an amazing birth experience and loved my whole L&D staff and although my dr wasn’t on call and he was delivered by a different Dr, I loved the entire experience. This was my first baby. I want FTM out there to know that there are stories where it’s not all bad. I expected something to go wrong but nothing did. Don’t psych yourself out! You got this! I hope everyone could have my experience. ❤️❤️ everyone meet Thomas Philip! 7lb 5oz and 19in.
