my baby birth story

My due date is 10 oct and baby was born 5th October 21:33. This was my second son, I lost my mucus plug on the 30th sep, had little blood coming out on the 2nd October, thought the baby is coming within 24hours but nothing happened , so I  was just waiting patiently . Then I start having more liquid discharge mix with blood , was wondering if that is my water break, should be more than that if it is the water break. I start to have contraction in the night 9pm of 4th October , it was not regular pain and manageable so I took a shower and went to bed to sleep until 3am of 5th , the pain become more intense and the contraction was like every 10mins. Still trying to sleep to the morning , thought if in the morning when hospital start working I still have this kind of contraction frequency I would go to hospital then. But in the morning after wake up , the contraction become not regular like every 15-20min and weaker.  So I tried to do some cleaning of the house and start packing my hospital bag. I was waiting the contraction to become more regular and I know if they are every five mins then it is time for me to go to the hospital but with this baby the contraction had been always like 10min apart. In the afternoon around 4pm the pain gets stronger so me and my husband decide to go to the hospital for a check , we send my four years old son to his grand mom place and arrived at the hospital 4:44. I left my hospital bag in the car thinking if the doctor do not accept us then we just go home as I do not have regular contractions every five min. So we went in the they did a baby heart beating and contraction  monitor, to the nurse it seems my contraction still not reaching 3 in every 10min , but they decide to check me out . Right before they check me I had more liquid come out and they tested it is my water break and to my surprise I am 5cm dialated at 6pm. So they think I am going to deliver that night and considering I had a 4hours and half labor on my first son, the nurse said she thinks I will deliver by 9pm . So they arranged me to a room and then to the l & d room at the same time my husband went to pick up hospital bag in the car. After I know the water break the pain become more intense and still the contraction was like every 10 min or something not regular. We asked for epidural around 7 and it was such a big release of pain then me and my husband start chatting pleasantly and waiting . If it is not the lady next door making noise during her delivery we even forgot we are in a labor and delivery room. At around 9 I had a feeling need to pee so I went to the bathroom and after came back still had the feeling to make a pee was like the baby is pressing my bladder and had the feeling to poop also . At 21:15 So the doctor told me it is time to push , I tried with the epidural which does not feel the pain it is not very easy to push as not sure how to use the strength , the doctor put her finger in and told me to push towards her finger and make long breath. I am pushing better and the contraction still not that regular as I know but I could feel the baby is in his way out by himself with each contraction. Finally the baby head come out and I asked if should I continue to push or wait a moment as to prevent tearing, the doctor said keep pushing and I can feel the baby is moving his body , yes ! The baby is moving his body , the nurse shouts out : the baby is moving ! Have a look yourself , I was like OMG , he is moving but only half way out , so I push again and baby was born 21:33. They all said I did a great job as I only pushed like 20mins which is super fast . They took the baby to clean and measure then put back on my chest . With my first son I had blood show in the morning 6days before due date then we went to hospital in the midnight 23:30 when I had contractions every five min and baby was born 4:33 in the morning. This second son 18-21:33, similar time of labor. I was lucky everything went very smooth and grateful.
