Answer

Water broke while having sex!

Answer

I woke up in the middle of the night with diarrhea 😅 Later I realized I had contractions as well.. 😊
I went pretry fast. Over a few hour in the morning I felt worse and when I got to the hospital I was 8 cm open.

Answer

41w and 5 days. Induction was scheduled for 41w and 6 days. Husband told me to roll over in bed and I felt a pinch, I thought I just had to pee, bent over and felt a gush... my water def broke. (3am) 
We spent the day cleaning and organizing and had sex... it was a great day LOL. 
They admitted me, didn’t even have to check to see if my water broke, I was leaking all over. 
24 hours later, I begged for an epidural at 9.5cms I couldn’t handle the pain any more. They let me sleep and had me push a few hours later. 33 hours in all, 1 hour pushing came my 9lb bby! Had two stitches, and I did end up hemorrhaging. Had a killer spinal headache for about a week after wards which made bonding with baby and recovery extremely hard. I had a blood patch that failed and was forced to just suffer in bed with baby. Once I felt better and could stand, it’s been smooth sailing ever since. 
Giving birth is a trip... holding your baby for the first time is something you can’t even put into words. It’s such an awesome experience. I don’t have it in me to do it again though 🤣!!!

I had been cramping on and off for about 2 weeks. The cramping episodes were getting worse but I was in denial lol. I didn’t believe they had been contractions until a cervix check. Then my water broke at home two days later and I went to the hospital.
