Week #3 As the Expert

Well considering I don't know a lot I would have to say people could ask me questions about being pregnant and childbirth although it might be quite awkward I would answer anyways because well I'm  the expert. They might ask how I did it and if it was hard. Then I would simply explain that yes it was hard but it wasn't all bad like everyone makes it out to be. You hear these women saying it was so hard and it hurt so bad and you had constant cramping and you were always uncomfortable. But that's, not the case. Actually, I slept great once I got comfy in bed which some times were a struggle but not all the time. I always had comfy clothes on since jeans no longer fit anymore. I wasn't always in constant pain because of cramps, yes, on occasions there were repeated cramping and it hurt so bad but it wasn't all day every day. After I explained all this to them I bet they would ask how the actual birthing process went. I would continue to answer the question by saying that early that Wednesday morning at 3am I was having so what I thought was these normal cramps, but soon did I realize I was wrong. After an hour was pacing around the room and taking a warm bath to get them to go away did I know these just weren't cramps they were contractions. So by this time, it was 4am and I was on my way to the hospital with Kolton. On the way there I was freaking out because I was so scared and nervous. When we arrived and got put into our room some nurses came in and started an IV with some fluid to keep my hydrated, a little time has passed and they gave me some medicine for the contractions that only lasted maybe 20 minutes. Soon after that, I got my epidural which numbs you from the waist down. That was the best decision of my life. I didn't feel a thing besides pressure the whole time of pushing. I only pushed for an hour and a half and at 10:56 am Kole was born at 8lbs and 7oz. Now after explaining both these stories, I would hope no one had any more questions!
