Jessa's birth story

Jessa experienced was a lot different then her sister's Jill and sister-in-law's Anna labors with both Meredith and Israel.
Jessa was in labor for two days and says that her labor was very hard. At one point she wanted to go to the hospital and have a hospital birth after ten hours and then changed her mind.
Their little boy was born at 6:54pm on November 5th. Jessa was rushed to the hospital after finding out that she was bleeding harder then normal. Jessa ended up having to leave their baby boy at home with Ben to go to the hospital.
Jessa revealed that she had dreamed about those first moments, getting to breastfeed right away, all that. And so when I had to go to the hospital, it was a shock.

Jessa had to get an blood transfusion and stayed over night. Ben finally brought their son to the hospital
