So early Thursday (December 4th) at 4 am I started getting contractions. They were somewhat strong. They were becoming more consistent, so me and my mom got ready and went to L&D. They said my contractions were about 5 min apart but I was only 2 cm dilated. They sent me home to progress on my own. So I got home I took a nap, when I woke up I walked for about an hour then took a shower. Around 9pm the contractions were getting worse. Around 11 30 pm I couldn't take the pain anymore. When I got to the hospital. They checked me & said I was 5 cm dilated! Finally got admitted and I asked for the epidural and let me tell you ladies, the epidural is a gift from God. I finally was able to go to sleep when I woke up, the nurse checked me and my water broke on her lol. At that point I was 7 cm they gave me medicine to progress faster and a half hour later I was 10cm. I pushed for 25min and on December 5th (his due date) at 7:22AM Tristin Jay was born into this world weighing in at 6 pounds 11 ounces and 18 inches long. He is perfect and never knee I could love this much♡♡
