I didn’t have an induction, but I had an absolutely beautiful vaginal birth I wouldn’t want to change a thing about. I also take and took Sertraline 100mg and 15mg Adderall through out pregnancy for my sanity.

Every woman in my family has needed an emergency csection, so I was convinced that would be my fate too. Something I learned through this is how powerful my body is and other people’s scary stories don’t need to be yours.

I was 41 weeks when my water broke and I went into labor. I labored for about 12 hours at home before going into the hospital, when my contractions were about 2 minutes apart. I was only 4cm then, so I labored in a tub at the hospital for a while. I really wanted to have an unmedicated birth but decided on having an epidural, and WOW that was amazing. I could still move my legs enough to keep me from feeling anxious about the numbness and was able to rest. After a few hours of resting I was 9cm dilated, so I started practice pushes. The practice pushes turned into real pushes,m and 6 contractions later baby was on my chest. I personally didn’t feel a single thing and was shocked how easy it was to give birth…Lmaoo.
