Jules's Birth Story

In the morning I got some (very little) blood-tinged mucus in my panties and then some contractions mixed with cramps. I started suspecting baby was on his way, but didn't have any expectations. I saw my doctor at 11 and because I was more dilated and effaced than two weeks before, she said it was looking really good. She did a membrane sweep and by the time I left her office I was having painless contractions every 2-3 minutes. It wasn't entirely unusual so I didn't worry about them until they became painful around 1:00 PM, that is two hours later! I called my boyfriend home from work and drove to the hospital at 4:00. I was 7 dilated and was 9+ 20 minutes later when they got me to the delivery room. They broke my water and I pushed baby out in 20 minutes, lying on my side.
