A bizarre way to get to the hospital in labor

Sandra

So I was pregnant with my daughter at 38 weeks she was my third pregnancy. My two boys, the hospital had to break my water, so naturally breaking my water was not something I was able to experience.

The day of my daughter's birth, I was in bed and I all of a sudden, I felt a pinch and then what I thought was me peeing, turns out my water just broke. now I was like, "Holy crap" this is what it feels like. My boyfriend at the time, her father, was at work so i called my mid-wife. She asked me if I was having contractions. I told her I had none for now so she told me to take my time, get ready and come in the hospital. so as I was getting ready I was wondering if I should call for an ambulance, taxi or have my neighbor take me to the hospital.

As I was making my decision I decided that I wasn't going to do neither of those choices. you see, I lived around the corner from the train station and since I wasn't having any contractions I thought I take the two trains that will take me to the hospital. Though I was terrified that my contractions would come, I still went with it.

I made the hour trip on the trains, no one even noticing I was in labor. even one woman on the train, I told her I was in labor. She couldn't believe I was so calm or even in labor. I got to the hospital and after 3 hours since my water broke, I started having contractions. 3 hours later I gave birth to my daughter Abby she is now 5.

Me and my fiancee now are getting married soon and we decided we were going to try and have another baby.
