IMANI-RAINA-JEANAE`s birthstory

WENT TO BED ON JUNE 4TH AFTER HAVING A PLEASE COME OUT TALK WITH MY TUMMY AND READING MORE ABOUT LABOR AND SUCH. i WOKE UP AT AROUND 11 BECAUSE THE BRAXTON HICKS I HAD BEEN FEELING THAT DAY WERE NOW MORE NOTICABLE AND A LITTLE UNCOFORTABLE. I NOTICED THEY WERE FREQUESNT AND WHEN I TIMED THEM THEY WERE 5 MINUTES APART EVERY TIME. I CALLED THE FATHER AND TOLD HIM ABOUT IT JUST TO LET HIM KNOW AND HE SAID HE WOULD COME OVER. I STILL DIDN`T THINK TO MUCH OF IT. HE ARRIVED AN HOUR OR SO LATER AND STILL TIMED CONTRACTONS AT 5 MINUTES. THEY NEVER STOPPED AND SLOWLY BECAME MORE INTENSE TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS IN PAIN AND CALLED MY JOB @ ABOUT 5AM TO LET THEM KNOW I WOULD BE COING TO HOSPITAL THAT MORNING. I GOT UP AND TOOK A SHOWER CHECKED MY OWN CERVIX (LIKE I EVEN KNEW WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR) AND FOUND MY PLUG WHEN I TOOK MY FINGER OUT -EWW BUT IT THEN BECAME REAL. I GOT MY SON PACKED TO GO TO MY DADS HOUSE. AND I WOKE THE FATHER UP TO LET HIM KNOW I WANTED TO GO TO HOSPITAL AND OFF WE WERE.

AT THE HOSPITAL I WAS CHECKED AT 3 CM DILATED AND WAS ADMITTED. CONTRACTIONS BECAME BAD SO I GOT AN EPIDURAL PRETTY MUCH AS SOON AS I WAS BROUGHT INTO MY L&D ROOM AND HAD GOTTEN ALL SETTLED IN. THIS WAS AROUND 9 OR 10AM NOW. AFTER EPIDURAL KICKED IN I TEXT EVERYONE I NEEDED TO AND LET THEM KNOW THAT IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A LONG DAY AND DON`T WORRY ABOUT ME I`D LET THEM KNOW WHEN TO COME AS I WAS MORE DILATED. WHEN I GOT CHECKED AT 7CM FINALLY AROUND 2 I THINK AND MY WATER STILL HAD NOT BROKE AND CONTRACTIONS SLOWED DOWN I FIGURED IT WOULD BE A LONG NIGHT. THEY TRIED TO GIVE ME PITOCIN BUT I JUST OPTED FOR THEM TO BREAK MY BAG BECAUSE I HAD THAT HAPPPEN WITH MY FIRST CHILD TOO AND IT TOOK FOREVER AFTER THAT WITH HIM. HOWEVER.... WHEN THEY POPPED IT AT 7CM ABOUT HALF HOUR LATER THROUGH THE EPIDURAL I WAS IN PAIN!!!! AND FAST CONTRACTIONS - AND PRESSURE!!! I GOT CHECKED AND WAS AT 9 CM! NEXT THING I KNEW I FELT LIKE I HAD TO POOP AND I YELLED AT EVERYONE I WANT TO PUSH NOW BUT SHE WANTED ME TO WAIT FOR DOCTOE THAT THOUGHT I HAD TIME TOO AND WAS IN SURGERY OR SOMETHING. I WAS NOT HAVING THAT - I LOUDLY EXPLAINED TO THE FATHER THAT HE NEEDED TO GET THEM TO GET THIS BABY BECAUSE I WAS PUSHING. SO PROUD OF HIM LOL - THE NURSE DECIDED WE WOULD GET THIS ARTY STARTED TOO. SHE REMINDED ME JHOW TO PUSH AND I DID AFEW TIMES AND THE HEAD WAS RIGHT THERE! THE DOCTOR CAME IN I PUSHED FOR DEAR LIFE A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND THE HEAD WAS OUT. THE DAD WAS SO EXCITED AND I WAS JUST WORRIED ABOUT PICTURES AT THIS POINT BECAUSE MOST OF MY BIRTH TEAM WAS NOT EVEN THERE. HE TRIED BLESS HIS HEART BUT NOT TOO MANY EARLY PICS OF MY DAUGHTER COMING OUT. - ANY WAY ONE FINAL PUSH AND SHE WAS OUT! I FELT IMMEDIATE RELIEF AND LIGHTNESS IN MY WHOLE BODY FROM THAT WEIGHT BEING GONE ALL OF A SUDDEN! DAD LEFT ME FOR THE NEW GIRL IN HIS LIFE AND THEY TOLD ME I HAD JUST LET OUT AN 8 POUND 14 OUNCE 21 INCH HEALTHY GIRL!! WOW! I KNEW I COULDN`T WALK FOR A REASON!

IMANI RAINA-JEANAE LOOKS JUST LIKE - EXACTLY LIKE - HER DAD. ALL HIM. BUT SHE IS GORGEOUS AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH!
