Thanks!!

I felt great. The week prior I had false labor and the day my water broke (wll it actually broke at 4am so the day before) I felt great. Like I wasn't even pregnant!

Quoting A m b e r ♥:“ Haha I was talking to SO last night and I was like "What would you do if my water broke while we were ... [snip!] ... up and go lay on the couch and fall back asleep because you would probably insist on getting ready to go to the hospital" Lol.”

We didn't even know my water broke! I felt and heard a pop and then painful contractions started. My whimpering, tossing and turning woke my husband up. He tracked my contractions for 45 min which is when he talked me into getting up and going to the hospital. I stood up and water hit the floor. We just stood there like this   And I asked my husband to get a towel (calmly) and he still just stood there watching the water flow to the ground like   So then I had to yell for the towel. Poor guy was shell shocked and couldn't move  

Quoting Kelsay and Ella!:“ That's how I'm feeling today.  ”

YAY!

I hope you go into labor soon!

Quoting I ♥ Squishy:“ YAY! I hope you go into labor soon!”

Me too!!
I'm ready when she is!!

I felt normal except I could poop (I was constipated for the whole pregnancy). Then noticed very very tiny specks of blood and then felt a weird sensation in my butt every 5-10mins.

Quoting I ♥ Squishy:“ YAY! I hope you go into labor soon!”

I went into labor that day and had Ella at 2:50pm on Friday!

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! How neat is that!!! Did your water brake on its own? If so, we had the same kind of day leading into labor   Congratulations, she is absolutely beautiful!

Thanks!!
No, it didin't break on it's own.
My contractions were coming at 3-5 minutes apart.
I went to the hospital and was 3 cm and they broke it there.
13 hours later she was here!!

Awe...I was 3 cm when I was admitted too but my water had already broken. I had my son almost 16 hours later. We were close!!

Yes we were!
How much did your little guy weigh?

Quoting Kelsay and Ella![11.6.09]:“ Yes we were! How much did your little guy weigh?”

8 lbs, 4 oz and 21.5 inches long. Head & chest circum. 15 inches

Woah momma!
Ella was 7lbs 4oz, 21 inches.
Head was 13 inches.

Did you have an episiotomy or tear or anything?

I did have an episiotomy but ending up tearing (to my bum) during delivery. I had been pushing for 2.5 hours andmy son had two bowel movements in the birth canal. The respiratory team was waiting to work on him so when his head came out the Dr literately pulled him out which I am guessing is what caused me to tear so badly.
I had stitches from front to back but it was weird, the Dr inverted them or something. Like, I could feel the cut/tear and that it was pulled together with stitches but I couldn't see them, if that makes sense.
