Lyla Allison was born at 8:56 on May 8 18 days ahead of her May 26 due date. After my water broke we went to the hospital and experienced several hrs of contractions thanks to pitocin and then 4 hrs of pushing before having help with forceps to deliver our "sunny side up" baby. Lyla was born 7lb 4oz 20 inches long. We are still working on nursing but so in love with our little princess.

Paxton was born May 9th at 2:59 pm after 22 hours of labor but only 15 minutes of pushing he was born 7 pounds even and 19 inches long. His original due date was May 23rd but his nurses and pediatrician think he came right on time. My water broke at home but to my surprise I arrived at the hospital with no cervical dialation and was put on piticin for induction and I tried to do it with no epidural I labored for 13 hours with contractions comeing on every two minutes for a minute. I decided to do the epidural because after 13 hours I only dialated 1.5 cm with 40% effaced and my baby boy was getting stressed out after the epidural I could sleep through the rest of the night woke up 4 cm dialated and 80% effaced and like a miracle I dialated 10 cm and 100% effaced an hour after that. He's my little blessing.
My little bundle of joy, Clarke Leeann was born on May 9th at 40w 1 day! Woke up around 5 am with what felt like menstral cramps. Started timing them and ended up heading to the hospital at 12:30pm, contractions were about 5 minutes apart.
Tried to go natural, but she was already sitting so low that they were about 3 minutes apart lasting a minute long. Got the epidural at 5cm, had water broken and was fully dilated by 9 pm. Nurse said I had a tight pelvis so being a FTM I would probably be pushing for some time!
Was pushing for about 45 minutes when the doc came in to take a look. Told me I had two options, push and get her out in 20 minutes or wait an hour because he had a c-section. With that, 20 minutes later she was out! Quite the cone head but because it was so tight, that's why!
Having some trouble breast feeding! She's a tounge sucker, so she isn't latching right! Still trying to teach her how to suck! But she is beautiful and precious and we just love her so much!
Braxton Alexander was born May 7th 39weeks 1 day at 10:22pm after 10 hours of potocin and not dialting Enough I was taken for a c section he was there with in minutes so happy to my little man With me❤️
Baby Ava Sohala was born one week ahead of schedule, on 5.7.15 at 6lbs 13 oz., water broke at the hospital, super excited to have this bundle home. Best of luck to the rest of you! It's all worth it!!!
Ellianna Kay was born April 23rd at 4:51 pm! They induced me almost 2 weeks early and she still came out 8lbs 6 oz! Big baby girl! Labor was great though! From the time they came in and gave me my epidural and broke my water, it only took 9 hours (only 40 minutes of pushing) until my little angel was here!
Meet Jaxson! 6lbs 15oz born May 8,2015 went in for scheduled induction and due to complications, he was born via emergency c-section. First baby! I never thought I could love someone so much!
Elle Rose born at 2:30 pm on 5/11/15 at 6 lbs 12 oz. I was induced at 39 weeks. Easiest process ever (I was induced with my son as well). I was in labour for 2 hours and 3 pushes later she was here!!
Noah Edward Morris was born May 11th at 5:58pm. 41 weeks. 7 pounds 6 ounces. He's so perfect. I was scheduled for an induction but I was already having pretty good contractions when I came in so they only gave me a quarter of the cytotec pill and it worked like a charm. My water broke around 1130 on its own and then the really painful contractions started. I got in the tub and got a dose of fentanyl but it didn't really help the contractions. They were awful. I asked for the epidural cause the pain was getting unbearable. I got the epidural around 1:30. I was only dilated to a 5. The nurse gave me the smallest dose of pitocin she could give me around 4:00. At 530 i started having pain that the epidural wasn't helping. They checked me and baby's head was right there and I was fully dilated. Pushing was tough but he is here happy and healthy and that's all that matters!
Sophia was born at 39 weeks with a quick delivery. Started having contractions at 9 am and got to the hospital by 2 pm only dilated at a 1. She came on May 11th at 7:10 pm 7 pounds 4 oz. perfect little girl.
Oliver James was born May 9, 2015 at 38+6. I was 5 cm dilated at my prenatal appointment the day before and went into labor that night. I was 6 cm dilated when we arrived at the hospital and after 6 more hours of labor and 13 mins of pushing he was born! A much faster labor than with my DD but I can't say it was any easier. Both unmedicated. Oliver is adorable and healthy and our family is complete!
I'm a little behind here, seeing as my baby will be 2 weeks old tomorrow, but oh well. After 50+ hours of prodromal labor and 31 hours of active labor, Lucy Vivian was born via emergency c-section on April 29th at 39w4d. She was in the footling breech position and in distress from pressure on her head. She is totally healthy and nursing beautifully, despite the scary way she entered the world.
Scarlett Elizabeth was born at exactly 40 weeks on 5/10/15 (best Mother's Day gift ever!). She was 6lb 2 oz and 19 inches. everyone is happy, healthy, and in love!

Carly Mae was born on 5/12 at 41w1day. I went for a version at 41 weeks and she had turned head down in her own! I was induced starting with pitocin, but my cervix didn't change over 12 hours with that. Then, they did cervadil and contractions started on their own. I had slow progress, but there was only 2 hours from the time I was 4cm until she was born. I was able to do med free birth again. We are so in love!

Maxwell Thomas Aaron has arrived. He surprised me on Mother's Day arriving 1 day early. He weighed in at 6lbs 12oz and 20.5 inches long!
As a FTM I didn't know what to expect. I had no signs of early labor. At 3pm on 5/10 I started having contractions, but thought I had a lot of time, days even. Max had other plans. We arrived at the hospital at 430 pm and Max showed up at 631pm. Though labor didn't go as expected, no time for epidural, I was so happy he finally made his way into the world!
Reese Michelle made her grand entrance into the world may 11 at 2:14pm. 7lbs 5oz 20 1/2 in long! She was 9 days early. I had contractions all weekend. Went in for false labor on Saturday morning at 2am and was sent home. I continued to have contractions every 15min Saturday and Sunday. Went in on Monday morning because I was miserable, and by the time we got to the hospital they were 2min apart! I was so happy when my dr told me that I was 6cm dialated(by the time I made it to L&d I was 8cm) a few hrs later I was pushing! We are so proud and happy! We love her and we are glad to be back in our home!
Griffin Henry born May 12. We planned a homebirth but transferred after a long second stage due to malposition. He was born in an unmedicated delivery after an hour in the hospital and we went home a few hours later. This was my second VBAC and hardest labor yet, and I'm happy I did it unmedicated even if it wasn't at home.
Jaylah Ann made her grand entry into this world on 5/13 @ 12:32am. I woke up early in the morning on 5/12 and my legs and feet were swollen painfully. I also felt 'off´. By that after noon I called l&d, they told me to come right in. I was immediately hooked up to the ministers when I arrived and found out my blood pressure was dangerously high. They began a round of fluids. While we were waiting for the fluids to end I began to contract. Unable to treat my blood pressure because the contractions and unable to treat the contractions because my blood pressure. I was taken in for a repeat csection @ 36w 3d. Jaylah needed minimum oxygen support but is doing wonderfully! She was 5lbs 3ozs and 18“ long. She's gonna be spoiled!

My daughter Lily was born yesterday morning. I was BH contractions irregulary throughout the day. I went to bed at 10:30, woke at 12:45 with more painful contraction and timed them for a little under an hour, still irregular between 2 and 4 minutes, short contractions, around 30 seconds long. I called the midwife and she said not to hurry but get child care and come in and she will check me. My mom came to watch the kids within 10 minutes and the contractions were suddenly a minute apart. My water broke in the car, and Lily started to crown. My husband pulled over and called 911 and we ended up delivering our own baby at a car delearship on the side of the road. Ambulance showed up about 10 minutes after she was born! It was crazy quick and we are both doing well. She was 39 weeks, 7lbs 2 ounces and 19.5 in long.
We were team green and now team pink! Joie Francis was born at 850am at 7lb 10oz.@ 39+5. Had painful contractions at 130am and kind of a lot of blood came out after using the restroom and freaked me out so I called the hospital and they told me to come in. Glad I did because the contractions were almost unbearable by the time I got into the delivery room. Got the epidural (didn't even feel them put it in!), by then was 10cm and they broke my "thick" bag of water and it exploded all over my socks and the floor ☺️. Pushed for 15 mins and there she was
