My water broke around 11 am. I called my midwife and she asked me to come into the office to check.. My appointment was at 12:20 and as I arrived contractions started coming. She confirmed and at that point I was 100% effaced and 4 cm dilated. She sent me to labor and delivery where I labored and walked, spent time in a jacuzzi tub and on a birthing ball. My son was born by 5:59 pm. It was an amazing birth.
