So I woke up to pee around 130am on the 10th. I had contractions on and off for about 90 mins but some came at 2m apart and others at 20m. Since they weren't painful and there was no rhyme or reason to them, I fell back asleep. Around 5am, a really strong contraction not only woke me up, but also broke my water. I waddled to the bathroom and called for DH to wake up.
DH called our friend who was going to watch DS for us when we were in the hospital. I called my OB who said I had about 3-4h to make it into the hospital. I showered and realized that really strong contractions were coming 5-6 mins apart. When DH was showering, I finished the go-bag and started to be in a lot of pain. Contractions were now 4-5m apart and no fun whatsoever so we decided to head in sooner than later.
Luckily by the time we were done our last minute packing, my friend arrived and we headed off to the hospital around 630am. I was in a lot of pain
Once there, I was checked and at 4cm. My amazing OB nurse could see that I was in a ton of pain so she started doing all of the pre-epi things required so we could get on that. Right before my epi, I was at 5cm and contractions were every 2-3 mins. I got my epi and in about 10 mins... RELIEF! Immediately after epi took hold, I was 7cm and the nurse called for the OB. By the time the OB got there I was an 8-9cm and fully effaced so they had me push through contractions to get to the 10cm.
At 8:50am, the OB told the nurse to call for the delivery team. After pushing through about 4-5 contractions, little squish was born at 9:05am. I went from 4cm to 10 in about 2 hours.
