My water broke at 9 am with what was regular Braxton hicks type contractions I got to the hospital and was admitted by 11am contractions stopped so they started pitocin. I wasn't dilated but was just a little soft and my cervix was still very high. the day went by slowly dilating. I was 5 cm my husband and mother in law said they were gonna go grab a drink and smoke well 25 minutes went by I told my mom I was feeling a ton of pressure the nurse came in and said oh my goodness you're 9 cm already that was at 10:42pm I finished dilating and delivered my daughter by 11: 25 pushing for 11 minutes with breaks in between each push! my epidural only took in my left leg and a little across my back.
