3rd time labor stories

I just want to read everyone’s different experiences.

💙 My 1st was born in 2008. My water broke 4 days before my due date. I was in labor for about 12 hours and I did have the epidural.

💖 My 2nd was born in 2014. I started feeling very strong contractions 10 days before my due date and baby arrived 3 hours later. No time for epidural.

💙Now I’m 39 weeks pregnant, due next week 11/17. Braxton Hicks come all day for the past month & painful pelvic pain. As you can see I have age gaps in between my kiddos. Idk why I’m so nervous this time. Doctor mentioned IF I want membrane stripping this Thursday, I’m still undecided.
