Alivia-Dawn`s birthstory

this is such a whirlwind story!! on monday morning i went in for my regular prenatal appt and my doc said that i was 2cm and she decided that maybe things would get going if she stretched my cervix...so she poked around in there for a minute and sent me on my way...i never had any discomfort or cramping or anything from it so figured i would be pregnant for a while still...i went shopping all day did lots of walking but felt no different throughout the day and into the evening...i woke up at 430 am with some cramping but nothing painful and i had a sore back...but again i didnt think much about it because what pregnant woman doesnt have a sore back?!?! so went back to sleep..woke up again at 515am from the cramps and decided to get up and walk around have a drink of water to see if that would make it go away...it just felt like menstrual cramps...it didnt go away but it wasnt getting any worse...and it was more just cramps because i couldnt time anything because there was no distinct start and stop to it...so we decided to go in to the hospital to get checked out and then sent home...well we got to the hospital at 6 am and sat in the assesment room for about 45 mins while they monitored the baby and watched for contractions...i didnt have any contractions the whole 45 mins and baby was doing fine so the nurse told me we could just go home or we could wait a few more minutes because my doc would be at the hospital shortly to do her morning rounds...so we decided to wait for her and have her check me and see what she though....well she checked me at about 6:50am and said that i had dialated to 4cm and that if i wanted she would break my water and get things going so got to the labour and delivery room and she broke my water at 7am and literally 5 mins after that i had a strong contraction that felt like i had to push!! so the nurses ran out to find my doc because she had left thinking that i would be a few hours and she came back and checked me again at about 715 and said that the head was about 1cm away from crowning!! so they made me pant through the contractions while they got set up and i started pushing and after 2 contractions worth of pushing she was out!!! labour started at 7am and she was born at exactly 730 am!!! i though my first one was fast at 2 1/2 hours but wow i couldnt belive it!! i didnt have any tearing or swelling and was able to go home the next morning...she has been such a good baby and even sleeps 3 hours at a time in the night so im not exhausted like i was the first time...i hope my story gives some ladies that are still waiting the encouragement to wait kjust little bit longer because it is so worth it!! i cant wait for my next one!!
