I woke up that morning with pains and was able to go back to sleep until later. A friend and I decided we should go to the mall and walk around, so we did and stayed there until contractions were four minutes apart.

We checked into the hospital and I was already five cms dilated. I asked for an epidural and almost got it, but when the nurse checked me again I was then seven cms, so she said, Too late. Natural childbirth was going to be the way.

My daughter was delivered without ANY pushing. I guess you could say she came out on her own. I would estimate labor and delivery being a total of about four hours. I am currently 7 1/2 months pregnant and am PRAYING for the same delivery...
