Savannah Rose!! Labor story

7lbs 6oz 20in long!! I was suppose to be due yesterday but I was having contractions on 9/27 when I was at work (I had an 8 hour shift). I tried counting them but they were so off the wall and more than half the time I wasn't sure if it was her that was moving or a contraction or both.

I made it through my shift and started counting at home. I called a co-worker and my mom and they said to call hospital anyway. Between 10-11pm it into a room but nurses/docs said that I wasn't progressing or falling back on labor so they sent me home.

By midnight/12:30 went to bed and woke up 1hour 1/2 later with bad back labor and contractions. My water broke at like 2:15. I was in actual labor for almost 2 hours and had 3-4 pushes. I almost didn't have the epidural because she was coming so fast and I kept feeling the urges to push.

My daughter Savannah Rose came out at 4:15am on 9/28. Was due 10/2.
