37+6 weeks

Early labor (majority back labor) started at 330am on Jan 22nd, sent in to be checked at 6pm that night, sent home at 1130pm as my cervix was hard and posterior.

Couldn't sleep; had awful back labor (constant pain) with lower abdominal contractions coming and going. It was never consistent so they didn't think I was in active labor. Had a large period type bleed, went back in at 3am, got checked at 5am and she was just about to pop out!

After 1 hour of pushing, she was born at 627am on 23rd Jan. Had a 3rd degree tear unfortunately but was too busy loving on this little girl to pay attention to the stitches!

An experience I will never forget.
