Proud momma...

So here's my story. Last night I decided to take a long relaxing hot bath to try to dilate more.. Literally right after I got out and started watching TV here comes the contractions. Oh yes now I definitely remember the difference between bh and true labor contractions. You can't talk through them they stop you in your tracks! I was in tears. Around 11 pm they started but was 20 minutes apart so I'm thinking I'll try to lay down but everytime I dozed off... Bam it hit me again. Starts in the back and crotch moves slowly up your belly till its excruciating pain! I had to charge my phone so I didn't start timing again till 2 am they were still like 7 to 12 minutes. By 4 am I'm literally crying and trying to not wake the house. My SO does wake up and I tell him oh just lay back down I'll make cup coffee but then I can't even stand up and he's like no way were leaving now! Wakes the other 3 kids we get to the hospital an hour away in like 40 minutes. I arrived at 5:00 am can't walk so my son pushes me in wheelchair..we get up to L&D and I can't even talk to get signed in. They check me at 5:06 I am 6 cm dilated(i was only 2 cm last week) they hurry move me to delivery room and don't even get my iv hooked up yet and I can't help but push with each contraction now like a minute apart. She's born at 5:24 am. No doctor even in the room just 2 nurses. My ob doesn't even show up at the hospital till 4 hours later... Unbelievable! Doctor on call cut cord and everything. Glad it's over and she's healthy and beautiful 😄😘 Hope this helps one of you girls know when real labor starts because even after 5 kids I questioned every little twinge until the real deal hit. It's true... You will know because it's unmistakable. Good luck ladies!
