mom is a title we are all proud of. tell us about your birth story.
I got pregnant at 19. Had my daughter at 20. She’s almost 18 now. I woke up at 3am with stomach pains and laid there in pain until 6am. I didn’t think it was labor since it was 3 weeks early. I went to the restroom and I knew I was in labor.
I went to my mother’s house and she told me we should wait to go to the hospital because it would be a long day. I sat a waited at her house until 9am when I couldn’t take the pain anymore, we went to the hospital.
When I arrived, I was dilated at a 9! I had my daughter 30 minutes later and with no pain meds. I had all my labor at home.
What advice do you have for first time moms?
- Cherish every single minute you have.
- Take a million pictures and videos because children truly grow up too fast and memories fade.
- Take every moment in.
