When did you realize you were really in labor?
At 2 in the morning I was a lot of pain and my draxxin for coming closer and closer together! I had to hurry! I just knew any min I was going to give birth to my place so I had to hurry to the hospital unfortunately I didn't have anybody to drive me so I ended up having to drive myself!!! Thankfully though I didn't live too far away from the hospital when I got there I was already 6 to 7 centimeters!!! And I gave birth to my son at 3:49

What was the most challenging thing about going natural?
I think the most challenging thing about growing natural and childbirth is having to deal through the pain in the contractions yourself a lot of women think that the pain is too much which it is childbirth lol, but I find it if you simply concentrate and go through your breathing exercises you can pull through it I wasn't under any pain medications or the epidural I wanted to go completely natural and I did and it was way worth it

Be strong but don't feel bad if you can't go through it but if you want to and you feel that you can mentally focus on something else find your Center learn your breathing treatments but your body is doing what it's naturally going to do simply relax your body and your mind and let it happen and the pain is so much less worse!

How did it feel to hold your baby for the first time?
It was the most amazing satisfying thing in the world having something living inside you for 9 months kicking and moving around wondering what he's going to look like wanting to hold him wanting to kiss him wanting to love him so much and when he's finally in your arms you feel so happy that it brings you to tears that's how I felt.

What advice can you give to other mamas who want to go natural?
Be strong but don't feel bad if you can't go through it but if you want to and you feel that you can mentally focus on something else find your Center learn your breathing treatments but your body is doing what it's naturally going to do simply relax your body and your mind and let it happen and the pain is so much less worse!
