So my due date was estimated on christmas day but my water ended up breaking monday dec.15 at 430 in the morning my hubby and i rushed to the hospital being first time parents and all i thought my contractions would start right away but nope! I was 3 almost 4 cm dilated 100% effaced. I didnt have contractions all day..so at 12 midnight they had to induce me didnt start feel contractions till about 4 am and they got intense around 6 i asked for the epidural didnt get it till 7 just my luck it only worked on half my body so i felt my contractions till i was fully dilated...i finally started pushing around 1 oclock pm pushed for about 1 hr and 20 mins and at 2:22 pm i gave birth to a baby girl 7 lbs 15 oz healthy. I couldnt be any happier. All i got to say is enjoy your pregnancy. I already miss being pregnant but being a mother is a blessing. Good luck to all you ladies out there your all doing a wonderful job. Merry christmas and godbless.
