CONTRACTIONS CONTRACTIONS CONTRACTIONS

Once the contractions began Mommy couldn't believe the pain she felt. Mommy was crying so much and Daddy was by her side the whole time. At first there was a good amount of time between the contractions but as labor went on there didn't seem to be a break at all. At one point they checked Mommy and she was 3cm. Pretty much right after they checked her she began to have major pain/pressure during the contractions. Mommy kept saying she felt tons of pressure in her bottom. It was so weird. She just kept saying, "Make it stop, I don't like it!" After a little bit because Mommy felt so much pressure they decided to check me again and she was 9cm. it wasn't long after that when the nurses had Mommy start pushing.

Mommy did get an epidural which was amazing!!! She highly recommends them. "SMILE" Everyone who was there says Mommy was being pretty funny once the epidural kicked in. Above was during a break in the contractions after she had the epidural.

Here's Daddy taking care of Mommy. He was the only person Mommy really wanted to look at during labor. Mommy relied on him entirely He held my hand and would talk to me and help me get through each and every contraction.
