At my doc appt on May 25th i was 1cm 59% effaced so the doctor swept my membranes saying it could start something or not. Fast forward to May 29th around 8:20pmsish i went to the bathroom and had more plug with blood in it but kinda blew it off but then started having contractions so i started to time them,the were 6,7,6,11,8,6,7,7,7 from 8:31 to 9:36pm. I called my mom and she said she thought i should call my doula, and plus the insurance gave out a notebook and the part about labor said to go to L&D if its your 2nd or more when your contractions are 8-10mins apart. So i called my doula and told her about the contractions and she agree that this was it and we should leave for the hospital right away incase the contractions took a turn and she would just meet us there. We got to the hospital and i was checked at 12am and was 2-3cm, we then walked the halls to try and get them to pick up, then they checked me again at 1:50am and i was 4cm 90%effaced so we were admitted,i stayed at that cm til around 6:15am when i was checked again and was 5cm 90%effaced. By 11:20am i was 8cm and was actually able to hold a phone conversation with my dad to tell him that his grandson would prob be born on May 30th.At 12:19pm the forebag water broke it was deff a weird feeling and then at 12:59pm the midwife came in and broke the rest of my bag of water. I still can't believe i was able to give birth to him without a epidural.
He was born May 30th 2006 at 2:28pm weighing 8lbs 14oz 20 1/2"
edited to add at his doc appt today we found out the hosp measured him wrong since today he measured 22"
