My baby is hereeee!!

Oh my god, congratulations. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@Aninha thank you!!

Tell us how it happened!

6pm started some light contractions while at the store, nothing consistent 8 pm came home, ate some okra, and took a hot bath and did this labor inducing exercise another mom recommended 10pm ate some raspberry leaf tea and went to sleep, 3am I started feeling real contractions, so I walked around a bit 4am called my midwife and doula, they told me to come in the birth center at around 9am, Ended up going in until 10:45 cause I stopped by to eat at ihop. She checked me and I was 4cm dilated and had lost most of my mucus plug, she told me to go for a walk and come back in an hour, so I left, got a pedicure and went for a walk. 12pm I headed back to the birth center cause contractions were getting pretty painful, once I got there, she checked me again and I was 5cm, after that everything went by sooo fast, my contractions got super intense in a matter of minutes, I told her to break my water cause I couldn’t take the pain anymore and baby kept trying to push his way out

@Kirsten once she broke my water, baby was out 3 contractions later, no tearing, born at 1:42pm, so my active labor phase was only about 2hrs

Wow! Was this your first baby? The IHOP and pedicure part made me laugh. Did it hurt when they broke your water?

@Kirsten this is my third baby, it did, but only because I was having super strong contractions, so the combination of both was not pleasant
