My boyfriend and I found out I was pregnant on April Fools Day. You can imagine how that went. I found out after buying a pregnancy test at the dollar tree. My periods tend to be irregular and it was suppose to be a joke. Then when I saw that it was a positive, WOW. I went to the hospital just to make sure it was correct, that the store didn't buy postive ones as a joke. I was in denial. When they confirmed it, I couldn't believe it.
Time went on and we got to hear the heart beat and know that baby was doing well. It was a secret/surprise on what we were having. I didn't want to know and my love was a great sport on keeping it that way too. On Sweetest Day my water started leaking around 9pm and my boyfriend was at work and I was at my parents. The doctor on call that night told me that it was fine and normal and that I could go to work. Yes, I was still working even though I was due. My due date was October 29th. I thought to myself, is he crazy? I'm not going to work like this. Well the next day I went to church with my mom and my bf was at work, when we met up at home I was still leaking. My bf and my mom wanted me to go in since I started but I didn't think we had too. He told me that he was going to take me in. I told him that I wanted to call the hospital first. I did and the doctor on call that evening told me to go in right away. We made it there around 4. I wasn't having contractions though. I didn't start having contractions until 7pm and they had to give me pitocin because baby is suppose to be out within 24 hours since leaking otherwise baby could get an infection. They uped it every 30 minutes. I didn't want and didn't get the epidural. I went natural. It was completely worth it. When the announced that our little girl came to the world I was happy. He was happy too. It was the greatest day of our life. She is a blessing to us and stole our hearts.

You are very brave to have a natural pregnancy. I am going for natural with my 2nd child. They are 10 years apart and I am kinda scared ofthe pain. I am very thin and not sure if I can handle it but I am commited to making it thru.
Thanks you. Good luck to you. I was in pain, but really after having the baby the pain, you don't even realize it anymore. I was just too happy with my baby. I believe every woman can handle it. I hope all turns out good. Best wishes. =)
