Contractions are the worst part, I was in labor for 4 days, in the hospital for 3, sent home because I couldn't get past 4cm even though I was 100% efaced, next day came back and was 7cms instantly drugged up (lol) , I had them brake my water at 8cm and from there it was a go!! I did 4 practice pushes while waiting on my doctor, I pushed one last time before the doctor came in the room and he instantly came out.....
