surprise i had my baby yesterday

Julian Aleksandar Roberts. 6.86oz 11 days early. Crazy birth story
BIRTH STORY:Thursday at work i started getting contractions that actually required me to take a breather for a minute. Thanks to my very loving co-workers they helped me out through out my whole shift and even help me get out a little early. I was never able to sleep after that night. Friday afternoon i started getting contractions 7-9 min apart all day so it was really uncomfortable and since they were constant i decided to go to the hospital. I arrived at Baylor Irving i was 1cm dilated they checked me a hour later i was 2cm dilated due to the fact that i wasn't 4cm dilated or my water had not rupture they discharged me. Yesterday afternoon i was just plain old miserable and really disappointed with the fact i go sent home. I needed some type of relief for the pain . i hadn't slept in days i had contractions between 7-10 mins apart , i even had a 30 min break from contractions. I couldn't eat anything but i felt so constipated . i tried everything to relax even took a bath, walked, and even tried napping nothing work. I just wanted my water to break or for my contractions to hit a smaller time frame. due to me feeling so constipated i tried many things to fix that problem after finding a solution i still felt pressure down that area . I felt like maybe my cervix moved down a little bit. so i decided to go to the hospital . i had SAM call for ambulance as soon as the fire fighters got there they were being debbie downers pretty much telling me" we will take you but just know your wasting your time your water hasn't broken and your contractions are too far apart".I was about to give in to their poor judgement but thanks to the amazing man Sam is he asked them to step away for a minute and 1 fire fighter stayed (the only reasonable one) and told me i need to do whats best for me and i need to remember that every one is different no one has the same labor patterns. The fire fighter who stayed behind agreed with SAM and reminded me they are man and they haven't given birth nor will they ever and only i know my body. So after he said that i had a contraction .... It hit me pretty hard it was like god sent me a little shock and snapped me out doubts. so i got in the ambulance they didn't take me to the right hospital due to the weather . I was in a middle of a contraction and asked them to wait a min for it to pass and they guy said no. with it doesn't matter were checking you in and your probably going to get sent home attitude....... he seemed annoyed that i choose to go to the hospital. So i finally checking in to Las Colinas Medical Center the nurse checked me right away after she sent SAM to get my id from the car. As soon as she checked me she looked at me and told me your about to have this baby in 30 minutes i hope hes back in time. I was 9.5 cm dilated!!!!!!!!!!!!!! those 30 minutes went by so fast. Contractions got stronger and i wanted a epidural i had planned on going all the way natural but i was freaking out. A really nice nurse told me i made it this far the worst part is pretty much over. I was too far gone to get any medicine and they were trying to get me lab tested and put me in the system . 15 min later SAM showed up and pretty shocked at the news. My last 10 minute of contractions were the most intense ones, my water had to be broken by the doctor, pushing the baby out took 4 good pushes, after labor delivery hurt the most. My last min Doctor wasn't very gentle at all i even got in a screaming match with her for a second. There were five nurses in the room 2 of them i loved and were god sent. one of them was so comforting when she spoke i listened and she was a very soothing person. Another nurse was the youngest and very positive she kept telling me i could do it and even let me squeeze her hand .LESSONS LEARNEDNO MATTER WHAT ONLY YOU COULD MAKE THE CALL WHEN YOUR IN LABOR . NATURAL ISNT THAT BAD ITS MORE PHYSIOLOGICALLY SCARY THAN WHAT IT REALLY IS PHYSICALLY
