I came in at 10 dilated to a 6, thirty minutes later I was a 8 then I was a 9 and a half 45 minutes later but because I had group b strep I had to sit with a bulging bag for 6 hours so they could run 2 rounds of penicillin through my system I had a epidural when I was a 8 tho but I was in full labor when I showed up

usually when you get there they hook the iv up first

i know thats what they did for me so iy can be in my system before i had baby and i had her hours later
