My real due date was August 9th. My body has made much progress in the last couple of weeks in preparation to give birth so I am not to surprised that I went into labor 2 weeks early. The only surprise is that my body has never gone into labor on it's own; I have always had to be induced. Sunday morning I started having painful yet sporadic contractions, went to church, they went away. They started back around 3pm and I started timing them around 4:30. Called the Doc at 7:30pm even though they were still anywhere from 3 to 7 min apart and not consistent; she felt like she was going to fall out and they really hurt. Got to hospital @ 8:30 was dilated to a 6 and 100% effaced. Got my epidural @ 9pm by that point I was dilated to an 8. The epidural was really nice. I enjoyed relaxing and feeling no more pain as I was told that I was having a contraction. It was time to push shortly after 11pm and after two or three gentle pushes she entered the world @ 11:14pm on July 27th 2008.
She is beautiful and perfect and thankfully healthy. She nore I slept a wink the first night as she fussed continuously. Thankfully after working through what ever it was she/we slept last night and now she is a happy girl so long as the is either latched on or being held. We feel very blessed!
