I was scheduled for an induction at 8 pm this evening. He decided that he wanted to go by his own schedule. I woke up with contractions about every 2 minutes around 5 am. We got to the hospital by 9 am, and I was 4 cm. I progressed to 8 cm in under an hour, and by the time I got the epidural I was 9 1/2 cm. My water broke during the epidural. He was born 1:14pm, 7 lbs 5 oz, and 19 3/4 in long. This was my first, and my labor went extremely quick; everyone was so surprised.
