The short version: 8:15 - water broke 8:45 - took B1 to daycare 10:36 - first uncomfortable contraction 11:00 - left house - ate tacos 12:00 - checked at hospital, confirmed water broke 12:50 - placed in delivery room, doctor will come back for cervical check in an hour ? - contractions go from uncomfortable to extremely painful, need to push. Sweating so bad my glasses fogged up. Cervical check - 10cm. No time for epidural. Gas brought in, helps with a couple of contractions, until it's more annoying than helpful. I wanted to die, had my husband, sister, the resident, two OBs and like three nurses around me. It was overwhelming even with the pain. 1:40 - Betty born, 10lbs 4oz and 21in long at 39 & 6. 3rd degree tear for mama, lots of stitches.
