no such thing as a real world

I spent my whole pregnancy being like “this is my last kid for sure, never doing this again, it’s too stressful/uncomfortable/I wanna drink/etc etc”

and it was wild but I feel like childbirth usually is lmao

I had been having contractions like all day last Friday but they weren’t that painful or consistent so I was just like meh not gonna worry about it

then at like 8pm I was like “hm kinda hurting a little more, maybe I should time them” and they were about 5-7 min apart but for some reason I was still like “idk could be nothing” ???? And that was my mindset until about 11pm when they were 3-4 min apart and I was literally bent over the bathroom counter moaning and I was finally like hey I think I need to go to the hospital? Might be in labor lmao 😂

The car ride was hell and then when I got there they told me I was already 8cm 😳 and at this point the pain was so bad so I was like freaking out that I couldn’t get the epidural but I got it and it helped some but there wasn’t time to let it take full effect cos I went from 8 to 10cm in about 15 minutes lol so needless to say pushing this baby out was the most painful thing of my life omg I was literally screaming lmao
