Wednesday at 11am had my sweeping done. I was 2cm dilated and 80% effaced. At 6pm some contractions started, went to the hospital at 8pm but was sent home as they were not strong enough. Had them all through the night not able to sleep till 5am when they were unbearable. Got to the hospital at 5:30am. I was 4cm dilated at 6:45am, and 30mimutes later i was 9cm dilated. Too late for epidural then! Had our girl at 7:45am! Very fast!!!!! Here is Mallory :)
