Labor story...well Wednesday evening around 8pm I started having irregular contractions and my back was hurting more than usual. I honestly thought it was just the way the baby was laying. By 10pm I realized the contractions were coming a little more regularly and about a half hour apart. By 11pm they were coming every 20 minutes and definitely getting stronger. At 12am I called the hospital to explain they were about 15 minutes apart but since I live an hour and a half away from the hospital I wanted to at least be checked. After checking my medical history the midwife told me to head on in. Got to the hospital around 2am and after being checked into the system I told the nurse I really needed to be checked. I was still in triage having a monitor hooked up when I told the nurse we really didn't have time for all this. It was 2:40am and I knew we didn't have long. The nurse said she would check me as soon as she came back, then walked out of the room. No one, including my fiance realized how serious I was that I was about to deliver. The nurse came back and checked me, dilated to a 7 but baby was there. She immediately got me into a labor and delivery room, apologizing because according to her I behaved as if I wasn't in labor at all when in triage. I was put in the room by 2:45am and Wesley was born at 2:59am. No complications, all natural and he came out perfect. He weighed in at 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches long. The nurses and staff have been wonderful but we are looking forward to going home later this afternoon.

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...
Absolutely disgusted with my hospital! Rang triage and they said they were closed and I can't get to any other hospital as they are too far so the woman on the phone told me I'll have to cross my legs and cope with constant intense pains and reduced movements until triage opens again! How fucking dare she?! If there's anything wrong with my baby or I go into labour it's on her head! 😡😡
So I have issues sleeping and the new nurse came in woke me up to tell me they are switching when it clearly says not to wake me!!! Ugh
Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head ...
The hospital I went to told me that since they don’t have a labor and delivery anymore that they can’t test to see if I just peed or if it’s urine!
So their making me go to the hospital where I’m delivering and instead of letting my mom take me, their making ride in an ambulance! 🙄.
Thanks @shortiebs !
