gracelyn halley's birth story
Well it wasn't as bad as I thought 
I started getting period like cramps at about 8pm on the second I didn't really think anything of it at first n they didn't hurt that bad. Nine rolls around n they r starting to get more uncomfortable but again I thought nothing of it. By nine thirty they were getting pretty bad n I thought something might be up. I decided to get in a warm bath to see if that would help. I called my mom while in the tub n told her I was having bad contractions, at this point I knew somethin was going on. She told me they went that bad cause I could still talk through them I bagged to differ. I got out of the tub cause I was uncomfy. I talked my brothers gf into going on a walk around town with me hoping that would help. It hurt so bad but I did it. I got home n all I could do was stand behind my dads chair out back bent over rocking back n forth. My fiance called the doc at 10:15 to see Wat we should do. She said to come on in or wait it was our choice. Well by ten thirty I was on my knees on the floor with tears running down my face, so we left. It was the longest 15 min car ride of my life! We got in l&d and I was dialated to a 3 or 4 with bad contractions. They wanted me to sit in the jacuzzi tub for an hour then they wanted to check me. I made it 20min before I called the nurse in cause it hurt so bad. She got me out n started an iv with some pain meds then checked me. I was at 6cm at that point to they decided to give me my epidural. I was so nervous about it but it was a piece of cake n didn't hurt at all. I got my second dose of epi around 3 am n was at an eight. I was tryin to take a nap by then. Nurse came back at five checked me n said I was fully dialated n kicked my parents out of the room. I started to push around 530. They had me playing tug of war with a sheet with the nurse to push till about 630. I found that rather strange.... by 7:12am my beautiful baby gracelyn was here. They put her on my chest instantly as soon as I started talking to her she stopped crying and opened her eyes to.look at me she weighed 7lbs 5oz and was 21 and a half inches long. She is perfectly healthy n is such a wonderful baby she isn't fussy or anything. I love her more then words can say. She changed my life in an instant n I am so greatful for that. She is wonderful at home n both my dogs r great with her n love giving her kisses I'm the happiest I have ever been n I have my daughter n fiance to thank for it.

@mybabe it didn't really help at all I found myself gripping the side on the tub during each contraction lol the water felt nice but it didn't really make them worse or better the only thing that seemed to help was standing up n slightly bending over n rocking my hips back n forth.
