My baby boy was born at 1:27am on 2/24/17 after my water randomly broke exactly two weeks early on 2/23/17 at 1:30pm. Even after my water started to break, during my first cervix check, I was completely closed and 0% effaced. Within 12 hours (8 of those hours at the hospital) I was 10cm dilated, 100% effaced and he was here within 20 minutes of pushing. Don't feel discouraged if you're getting your cervix checks and not progressing. Labor happens WHENEVER it wants NO MATTER WHAT. ❤️❤️❤️  I thought for sure he would go passed his due date!
