Leroy's Birth Story
Submitted by bethany_07
It was a Sunday morning at around 3:45 AM when my contractions started. They weren't strong—they were more like period cramps. They pretty much lasted through the rest of the morning and the afternoon. So I called my Dr. and he told me to go to the hospital—better safe then sorry. I arrived at the hospital around 3 PM.
My contractions didn't get any stronger and they were way far apart. We stayed there for about two hours and they finally let me go home because the contractions had stopped. I went home and went to sleep after a long day. Then my contractions started up again around 4:30 AM. This time they were super-strong—I could barely even walk, they hurt soo much. I kept on falling asleep and waking up. So I called my dad and told him what was going on and he over came and got my first son for me around 8:30 AM, so I could relax.
I said to myself that if the contractions don't stop by lunchtime, I'll call my doctor. Well, they didn't stop and they were still super-strong and between 6 and 10 mins apart. My Dr. sent me off to the hospital again. We were there for about two and a half hours. This time I wasn't going home. My nurse told me that she called my Dr. but he didn't give her a response whether to send me home or keep me there. About 45 mins later, my Dr. walked into my room and told me that he was getting ready to do a C-section on another lady and that I was next after her. I was shocked! My boyfriend and I didn't know what to think, but we quickly responded "OK" with big smiles on our faces.
We waited for about an hour or so, and they took me in to do a C-section. It was Valentine's Day and at 8:43 PM, a 6-lb, 11-oz 19-inch healthy baby boy named Leroy Vincent Williams Jr. was born!
