Okay so here's my story:

I was supposed to be due on July 19th with my son but when I went to the doctors I still wasn't dilating, and I hadn't dropped yet😔my doctor told me he wouldn't be able to induce me until I was 42 weeks! And I wasn't waiting that long so I used my complex regional pain syndrome and fibromyalgia to get a closer induction date... I went into the hospital last night at 7 I still wasn't dilating so they hooked me up to an IV and gave me a cervidil that I had to keep in for 12 hours hoping it would thin me out so they could induce me at 7 this morning with pitocin. At about 1:15 this morning I was in tears and couldn't take the pain anymore and begged them to take out the cervidil so they did, and when they checked me I was 60% effaced and 5cm dilated. They told me that at 2:30 they were going to hook me up to the pitocin to start inducing my labor. I was in so much pain before that so my doctor had me get an epidural. She forgot about the pitocin and at 4:15am my water broke and I had my bloody show which I didn't think would happen but I'm glad it did. At about 5am I felt a lot of pressure and I couldn't take it so I called my nurse into the room and she checked me and told me I was having my baby because he was already half way out! I was shaking so bad because he wasn't supposed to be here until tonight. Being a first time mom it was the scariest thing to hear that I was actually having my baby. I ended up pushing him out in 10 mins and was so relieved when I heard him cry. Having him here with me is literally the greatest feeling in the world💙 and I was even happier that my body went into natural labor on its own instead of me being induced!
