At 1:30 this morning I was having a dream about needing to help a few fellow March mama's out in labor. I came to and realized I was having a contraction. I stood up to go to the bathroom and my water broke, just like the movies with a huge gush. I woke up DH who was so startled he woke up DD who had crept into our bed at some point during the night. Contractions were initially 9 minutes apart.
Dh tried to get dd back to sleep while I called my mom to come over. About ten minutes later the contractions were already 8 minutes apart and my gut said we should go. The hospital is 20-25 minutes away. By the time we got here and checked in at 2:20 contractions were a minute and a half apart and excruciatingly painful. I was 7-8cm dilated. I contracted for about 30-45 minutes until I told the Dr I had to push. Next contraction he told me to bear down and push. It was the worse pain I've ever felt but she was out in one push, second degree tear. I honestly don't think I could have done another push if I had to. She pooped everywhere. I got the antibiotics for GBS but not 4 hours before so we have to stay for 48 hours for monitoring. She weighs 8lbs 4oz 20.5 inches long.
