My December 10th baby was born 11/25/20 @9:32am. I had spotting for 3 days and on the 24th started getting period like cramps they started around 4:30 pm I told my bf that I couldn’t tell if I was having contractions or not around 6:30 and he said they were probably just Braxton Hicks so I started timing them and they were pretty consistent 5 mins apart & lasting around 1 min for about 40 minutes. Then the last two I counted were further apart and the pain wasn’t that bad so I figured he was right because there was no way I was actually in labor lol. The cramps lasted hours I tried to nap at around 8:30 slept for about an hr waking up a few times from the cramps, the cramps were a little more intense by the time I woke up so I was starting a warm bath to maybe help w the pain when I went pee before my bath I noticed a small wet spot on my sweat pants that I knew wasn’t discharge so I thought maybe my water was starting to leak so I knew I couldn’t take a bath. I called L&D & told them everything going on they said I could come in to be checked so I drove myself in got there at about 10:40 & found out I was 5cm in active labor and wasn’t leaving until I had my baby. I labored to 7cm then got the epidural, they had to break my water and had my baby that morning. In
