AS ALL OF US WOMEN WHEN WE GET MARRIED WE ALL WANT A FAMILY OF ARE OWN. BUT WHEN ME AND MY HUSBAND GOT MARREID WE DECIDED THAT WE WANTED CHILDREN BUT NOT AT THE MOMENT. ALTHOUGH WE DIDNT REALLY WANT KIDS THAT SOON BECAUSE WE WANTED TO ENJOY ARE MARRIAGE I NEVER TOOK BIRTHCONTROL AT ALL.

A COUPLE OF TIME I TOOK PLAN B WHICH WE ALL KNOW THAT IS NOT BIRTH CONTROL BUT FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY.. WHEN FINALLY WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO START ARE OWN LITTLE FAMILY IN 2005 I GOT PREGNANT FOR MY FISRT TIME BUT UNFORTUNALLY I HAD A MISCARRIAGE ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NEVER USED BIRTH CONTROL AFTER MISCARRIAGES. SO 4 MONTHS LATER I GOT PREGNANT FOR A 2nd TIME. I DIDNT EVEN HAVE TIME TO KNOW HOW FAR ALONG I WAS. IN FACT THERE'S NO RECORDS OF THIS 2ND PREGNANCY AT THE DOCTORS CAUSE I HAD MY 2 ND MISCARRIAGE RIGHT AWAY AFTER I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT.

ME AND MY HUSBAND DECIDED WE STILL NEEDED TO SEE A DOCTOR SO HERE IN STOCKTON CALIFORNIA I WAS TOLD OF OBGYN OFFICE THATS REAL GOOD. IT WAS DOCTOR'S BERBANO OFFICE WE DECIDED TO GO THERE. DOCTOR TOLD US WE HAD TO WAIT AT LEAST 1 YEAR TO TRY TO CONCEIVE FOR OUR 3RD TIME.

EXACTLY 1 YEAR LATER I FIND OUT I'M PREGNANT WITH MY 3RD PREGNANCY. I HAD IN MIND THAT I COULD HAVE A 3RD MISCARRIAGE SO I WAS ON BED REST.

WHEN I HAD MY FIRST APPOINMENT I WAS TOLD I WAS 6 WEEKS PREGNANT AND 4 DAY LATER ON TIME GOES BY. AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW AT 5 MONTHS I HAD MY ULTRASOUND DONE - IT IS A BOY DOCTOR SAYS.

ME AND MY HUSBAND WERE SO HAPPY. THE SEX REALLY DIDNT MATTER AS LONG AS THE BABY WAS HEALTHY. BUT DEEP DOWN INSIDE OF ME I HAD A FEELING IT WAS A BOY. I HAD NO BROTHERS SO I WANTED A BOY AND MYHUSBAND WANTED A BOY OF COURSE LIKE ALMOST ALL MEN.

MY DUE DATE WAS FOR OCTOBER 15,2007. AS MY DUE DATE GETS CLOSER MY DOCTOR DECIDED TO INDUCE MY LABOR 4 DAYS BEFORE MY DUE DATE. I WAS DIABETIC BEFORE I GOT PREGNANT SO DOCTOR DECIDED NOT TO WAIT TILL DUE DATE. OCTOBER 10,2007 I MADE A CALL TO THE HOSPITAL LABOR AND DELIVERY TO CHECK IF MY ROOM WAS READY THEY SAID COME IN. BY 1PM I HAD ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL ME,MY HUSBAND MOM AND SISTER WHERE ALL READY IN THE 2ND FLOOR AT DAMERON HOSPITAL IN STOCKTON CALIFORNIA AT LABOR AND DELIVERY. ORDERS FROM DOCTOR WAS TO GET INDUCED WITH PITOCIN.

HOURS WENT BY AND I HAD NO PAIN NO CONTRACTIONS BY THE TIME I GOT THERE I WAS 3CM DILATED AND THE MONITOR WAS SHOWING I HAD CONTRACTIONS. FUNNY THING I FELT NONE.

FINALLY BY 4AM NEXT DAT OCTOBER 11,2007 DOCTOR COMES IN CHECK ON ME AND DECIDED THAT IT WAS TIME TO BREAKE MY WATER I WAS STILL 3CM DILATED AND WAS IN NO PAIN. AFTER DOCTOR BROKE MY WATER BY 4:30 AM MY CONTRACTIONS STARTED LITTLE BY LITTLE AND MORE BY MORE. IT WAS PAIN, REAL PAIN I HAD TOLD EVERY ONE I WAS GOING TO GO NATURAL BUT AT THAT MOMENT I SAID I WANT AND NEED AN EPIDURAL.

MY MOM AND HUSBAND WHERE THERE TO SUPPORT ME AND THEY DECIDED THAT I WAS NOT HAVING AN EPIDURAL TO WAITE AND STAY CALM. I WAS FEULING SO EMOTIONAL AT THAT MOMENT WITH PAIN EXCITEMENT AND MUCH MORE I JUST WANTED EVERYONE TO STAY QUIET. TIME WENT BY I ASK 1 OF MY NURSES TO CHECK ME. SHE SAID NO MINUTES LATER MY 2ND NURSES CAME IN I SAID I HAVE TO MUCH PRESSURE AND NEED TO BE CHECK, THE NURSE WENT AHEAD CHECKED ME AND NEXT THING YOU KNOW SHE SAID WE ARE HAVING A BABY, I WAS EXCITED FINALLY THE PAIN WAS GOING TO GO AWAY.

I ASK FOR MY DOCTOR, THE DOCTOR THAT'S BEEN SEEING ME THROW ALL MY PREGNANCY AND SHE HAD JUST LEFT HOME I WAS TOLD I WAS GOING TO HAVE MY BABY WITH OUT MY DOCTOR BUT A NURSE CAME IN AND ASK TO STOP PUSHING. MY DOCTOR WAS ON HER WAY.

FINALLY MY DOC IS HERE WE STARTED PUSHING MY NURSE HOLDING MY LEFT LEG AND MY HUSBAND HOLDING MY RIGHT LEG PUSH AND PUSH TILL OUR BEAUTIFULL SON WS OUT.

HE WAS BORN ON OCTOBER 11,2007 AT 5:58AM 6.LB 6.OZ 19 1/2 IN LONG. I SAW HIM AND CRIED HE WAS SO STRONG AND CRIED OUT LOUD, SO SKINNY AND TINY. IT WAS A MIRACLE. HE LOOKED JUST LIKE DADDY AND NAME JUST AFTER DADDY ♥

NOW MY SON IS 1 YEAR OLD WE CELEBRATED HIS BIRTH ON 10/11/08 ORIGINAL DATE HE WAS BORN.

SO REALLY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS PAIN AND IT HURT IT WASNT SO BAD AFTER ALL CAUSE IT'S ALL WORTH IT. AND I WILL GO THROUGH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN JUST TO HAVE MY BEAUTIFULL ONES. IF YOU GO BACK AND CHECK AT 4AM MY WATER WAS BROKE AFTER 30 MINUTES AROUND 4:30 AM CONTRACTIONS STARTED BUT BY 5:58AM I GAVE BIRTH TO A BEAUTIFULL SON. SO REALLY I WAS IN PAIN FOR LESS THAN 2 HOURS IN TOTAL.

THIS WAS MY BIRTH GOOD PAIN LABOR AND DELIVERY STORY.♥
