He was due May 7th, I had a repeat c-sec scheduled for May 3rd. I started feeling strong and painful Braxton hicks and they were right on top of each other so I went to L&D and got checked out and was sent home with instructions to rest and hydrate. Right as I left the hospital the contractions got stronger and went from 30-40seconds every 8-9 mins to 40+seconds every 5 minutes and my pain level was at an 8. My cervix was only at a 1.5-2 and I was 50-60% effaced (the first time at L&D I was 1cm and 25% effaced). So I went back in to L&D and my doctor asked if I was ready to have the baby and at that point I was.
