We were due today 10/22 but I had been having so many signs of labor over the last week. Stopped being able to work and was just anxious. Saw my doctor that morning and she swept my membranes at 10:00 am. I was 3cm. Contractions started at 12:30. They became crazy intense at 3:30pm called my doula and as soon as she got to my house she said it was time to go to the hospital. I was at 9cm when I was admitted around 4:45pm. Did about 6 pushes and there he was. All natural med free just as I hoped! I couldn't have done it without my doulas support. It was the most intense experience of my life. So amazing. 

Good luck mamas!!! It's been so nice sharing this time with you.
