the day I went into labor was the day I went for my 39 week prenatal visit around 10 am. my dr decided to do a membrane sweep. I was already 4 cm and she felt that it would open me up some more. I left the dr and was riding with my husband to go visit family and not even 30 minutes into the ride I started having back pain. I continued my day as usual until about 3 pm. I was trying to sleep and I couldn't because I kept waking up pain in my back and my lower stomach. I called the dr to see if I should go in (they said yes) but to be on the safe side I went to a hospital I wasn't delivering and tried to get them to see if I was dilated more but they said the pain I'm describing is labor and to go into L&D so instead I went back home made a milkshake went to the grocery store as well and bought snacks. by the time I left to go into L&D it was 8:30pm. I was having contractions the entire time. [I am a strong woman to go through that pain and walk it out] got to L&D and it was 9:15, I didn't get seen by anyone until 10 and once I got seen they hooked me up to see about contractions and stuff. When the nurse came back to check me and as soon as she did she rushed me into the room to deliver. on the way down I told her I felt like I had to push. pushed twice, got in the room at 10:50 or so and the nurses stuck my arm and I stated pushing for the dr. pushed about 3 times and delivered my son at 11:15.#laborday
