After 11 hours of all natural labor, out came Aiyana Autumn the day before her scheduled induction! I am so thankful for my beautiful baby girl. She is so strong and healthy. She nurses like a CHAMP too; found the boob all on her own. 
I was very happy I had such a huge support system (my mother, grandmother, my aunt, and the baby's father), but I ended up kicking EVERYONE out of the delivery room right away except the doula. I didn't end up taking any childbirth classes, so I was on my own when contractions started...but listening and tuning into my body really helped me through it all. My mind and body definately worked together with the baby to get her out and safetly into the world. I hadn't realized how well I dealt with the pain until they told me I was their STAR PATIENT at the age of 19.
WOOHOO! I'm so proud of Baby A & myself! We made it thru!
