Well I don't remember all the exact details but I will try my best. On June 11th me and my hubby went into our room around 2 a.m. And did the dirty and cuddled. He fell asleep around 6 and I was awake getting ready to go to bed when I started having some dull back pains after about 2 of them being around 10 minutes apart I decided to try and time them. I noticed I was getting them about 10-15 minutes apart. Around 7:30 *they were still regularly 10 mins apart do I decided to try and get some sleep just in case (never fell asleep though) and I stopped timing them. Around 9:00 I decided to time them again as they felt closer together, they were around 3-4 mins apart by then lasting about 30-40 seconds but they still weren't painful enough for me to leave. Around 10 they were still regular so I decided to wake hubs up, and finish our last minute packing. Around 10:30 I decided to take a shower and by then they got a bit more stronger. Around 12:00 they were about 2 minutes apart lasting 40 seconds and getting more painful, so we decided to take the 40 minute drive to the hospital so I could check how far I was. We got their and by then they were getting really painful and I couldn't walk or talk through them. So the nurses checked me and said I was only 2 1/2 centimeters and I was so disappointed! I had no clue how I was gonna cope with the pain when I got farther. Around 1:50 we decided to go to a nearby hotel and get a room for his parents to stay at. When we got to the hotel they decided to leave to find a pharmacy so I could get some ambien and maybe take a nap. I labored in the bath tub there and by then I stopped timing them but the pain was so intense! I was crying and begging my hubby to make it stop. They only time I would get a little bit of relief was when I was on all fours. Some time around 3:00 I was on all fours and in the middle of a contraction when I just had to stand up and all of a sudden I felt a gush and I put my hand down and look and there was blood and then my body just started pushing by itself and I screamed. I yelled at my hubby telling him and ran to the bathroom and I was bleeding everywhere. My body kept trying to push and I was freaking out thinking that I wasn't dilated enough and that I was gonna die. I ended up jumping into the bath tub (no idea why) and meanwhile hubby was on the phone with 911. About 3-4 minutes the paramedics were in the bathroom and checking me. They carried me out of the tub and put me on the bed and said I was crowning. At this time I was still freaking out thinking it couldn't be right, I mean only an hour and a half before that I was barely over a 2! They told me right there that with the next contraction they wanted me to start pushing. And well about 10 minutes later we welcomed my little man into this world. From there *I went to the hospital and I had no tearing and little man was perfect, he weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. Letter the night two of the paramedics actually came back to visit us and I found out this was the first baby delivered by one of them. Well that's pretty much it, here are some pics! :)
