Ok so the story goes, at 4pm on the 26th I started bleeding, Ahh I thought. Scared cuz I was expecting a broken water or contractions not blood. So I called the labor and delivery who said give it 24 hrs if you don't go into labor call us. So hours pass n contractions started. I totally thought they were BH, timing them still they got closer together. I went to bed early just to be safe. At 11:45 an earth quake hits! I thought id awake to contractions but I awake to an earth quake. Disappointed I go back to bed hoping to awake n go to the hospital in the am. Morning comes and contractions are stronger but no pain. I by this time am frustrated. Jake is trying to put me back into a good mood but not much luck. By 4pm 24 hrs later my contractions are about 5 min apart. I tell Jake this is false labor n I'm really annoyed but he makes me call labor n delivery anyways. They say id better come be evaluated and so now I'm really mad because I have to drive into truckee just to be sent home. I say good bye to my cadence and put my bags in the car and were on our way. They confirm my contractions are 5 min but my lack of pain has discouragement in the nurses voice. She checked me and I was 3cm and 50% effaced. Still not convinced im in labor they had me walk for an hour around the hospital to see of I progressed. At the end of the hour I was 4cm and 80% so they called the Dr in and he broke my water at about 8:30 pm I laid in bed for a bit and bounced on the ball some, they stuck me 3 times to get the iv in me. Twice they hit split vains and couldn't get through popping through and I now have 3 massive bruises on my arms, by 10:30 I was in a lot of pain Jake helped me through trying to keep me relaxed and calm and I kept fighting, though by 11:30 I couldn't take anymore. I told the nurse she needed to check me, I was 5 or 6 cm I wasn't dialed much more and so I wanted the epidural, trying to keep me on my birh plan of no drugs Jake and the nurse encouraged me to wait. I was not having it. They said they had to do 20min of fluid and it would take 20 min for the anistesialogist to arrive so they asked if I wanted to go to the bath tub. So in order to pass time I agreed. The tub made my whole body start contacting so much stronger it was unbearable. This is where Jakes coaching was the key to me making it through this. As I tried to fight the contractions he was helping me relax and go with the contractions and not against them allowing my hips to sway into it and my body to allow it and take deep breaths. Not much help they only progressed to the point there was no break it was a constant pain one massive contraction that never ended. I said I can't do anymore please just give me the drugs! Jake said you have ten more min n if you still want them you can have them, not realizing they were just pushing me through by telling me I had to wait I agreed and so we fought through the next ten min. The pain intensified by a million n that last moment and I stood up in the bath n said I need drugs now! I want out I need to push! The nurse said don't push don't push but my body had taken control I was pushing, blood filled the tub n I screamed almost shedding tears for the first time through my whole labor, Jake looked at the nurse like what was that! She said its ok its ok we need to get to the room tho, now! Hooked to fluids and holding towels under me I ran through the hospital hall way to my room trying not to push. I got to my bed and while trying to get up into the bed my body took over n was pushing, the nurse n Jake saying don't push I'm saying I need drugs! Jake said honey her heads already out. I screamed, what! I don't wanna do this I don't wanna do this. Jake said well your doing it right now, one more push baby, the nurse said not yet I have to check for the cord, so w my body trying to take over and push I held it off forcing my body to not push while Jakes voice kept me calm till I couldn't hold it anymore, I have to push I yelled she said wait wait but I couldn't and out came athena onto the hospital bed. My Dr came through the door and said I missed it! Athena came to my chest and I was shaking in shock for about 5 min before I realized I had just gone through natural child birth. We did it.
