in labor on my due date

My little man has immpeccable timing!! Woke up at 6 am with contractions. Were still around 5 minutes so I am trying to stay home as long as possible. I was worried that I wouldnt know I was in labor but its pretty impossible not to know a labor contraction when you have one! Good luck everyone

Went to the hospital at 3cm, and ended up back home. Went back when I couldnt stand it anymore and was able to get to 5! Got the epidural around 5 pm and am now at 9, waiting on his little head to drop further down and to go the last cm! Will be holding my little one soon :)

I stayed home with my 2nd as long as I could also and when I got to the hospital I was dilated to 8. But during that time I walked, did squats, rocked on a chair. And mostly tried to squat as I had the contractions all that helped thank God. Hope everything goes well. And fast.
