As far as the delivery, I was so happy with my experience. I was determined to do Hypnobirthing and was so pleased that I was able to do a natural birth. I couldn't have done it without the help of Trev's cousin Talya who was my doula. In those times when I thought that It was just too much she was right there coaching me through every step. In addition to her incredible support I had My mom, Trev's mom and Trevor all rubbing my back, feet and applying cold rags to my face. Thanks to each of you I couldn't have done it without you. To anyone who might have heard of hypnobirthing and might want to try it, I highly recommend it. 15 minutes after he was born I was up and walking without being attached to my bed with a big iv. Even after I was taken up to our room I continued to feel great and loved that I was able to be back on my feet right away.
My labor started around 3am I woke up with contractions about 6 minutes apart and thought that my water was leaking. By 6:30 we were at the hospital to check the status of my labor. The nurse had me walk around for about an hour by the time I got back I was dialated to a 3 they decided that my contracgtions were progressing into labor so they admitted me around 9:00. Trev and I spent about another hour walking around, took a stop at the cafateria to have a muffin and chocolate milk and then onto more walking. By the time I got back to my room I was at a 4 when my nurse checked me my water bag was bulging so much that checking me broke my water this was at about 11:00 that's when the good contractions really picked up and I knew that there was not turning back. By 1:30 I was ready to push and he was here at 1:45. I had such a great birthing experiece and feel so blessed that it all went so well. Life as a mommy is incredible and I can't imaging life without this little guy.
