First pregnancy: did you have time to labor at home before going to hospital?

Question

Answer

I went in and got checked at around 2/3 pm and I was indeed in labor but only 1cm dilated. We decided to go home and tough it out. 
I labored at home until My water broke around 943 pm got to the hospital at 1020 and had my baby girl at 1043. 
My one piece of advice is check out the hospital you plan on delivering at, my poor husband almost had a panic attack in a dimly lit parking lot trying to figure out where the emergency entrance was 😂 
He pulled up right too the doors like he was an ambulance, the hospital staff got a good chuckle out of it and let him park there until after we had her.

Answer

Water broke at home, had to be induced the next day due to zero contractions

Answer

Ok so I went in thinking my water broke and they tested with the lil strip and it turns blue if amniotic fluid is present, well it was blue and they decided to make sure it was amniotic fluid so they did a more advanced exam, they said it was a false alarm and sent me home. Fast forward like 3 hours later and I go to pee and see A LOT OF BLOOD on my panty liner. well they checked how dilated I was at the hospital when I first went in and I knew spotting was normal but this was like a full on period so I called L&D and they said to come in to be sure, I went in and they checked my cervix again and I was 4 cm so they admitted me. I walked an hour and was monitored 20 minutes and then would walk again advancing 1-2 cm each time, 8cm rolls around 6&1/2 hours later and I’m in UNBEARABLE PAIN they let me labor in a tub for an hour and I got out for 20 min to be monitored and surprise I’m 9&1/2 cm! I started pushing and 15min later my son was born

Answer

Didn't realize i was in labour with my first until it was a half hour past time to rush to the hospital lol, we barely made it

Answer

With my first i thought I would have a really long labor and wanted to wait at home as long as possible. My contractions started at 7:40 pm, right after a bloody show. They were so intense by 10 I was like I gotta go now, idk how I can do this for so many more hours. Well, I got the hospital around 10:30ish and it took what felt like forever for someone to come check me. I was 10 cm dilated, delivered her at 10:56pm. They admitted me after she was born.

Answer

My babies never come out on their own!!! Ughhh I want so bad for this one, my last pregnancy, to have my water break on its own! But I’m sure I’ll go past 41 weeks like always 🙄

Answer

I have to go straight in when my labour starts due to complications.
