Dodged a c-section and now I'm in labor WOO HOO!!

I had my drs appointment yesterday and was told that if I don't go into labor by tue that I would have to have a c-section. Well because of my babysitter situation I had to schedule for today. I was so upset because my plan was to have a vback. We'll I went home on Friday and at 330 pm I took 1.5 tablespoons of castor oil with orange juice and.... NOTHING! No diarrhea, no bm movements. I was getting discouraged but didn't want to take to much because of my scheduled c-section. I went to bed at 10pm ish and woke up at 130am with a lot of pressure from gas in my stomach. So I went to the bathroom and had a bloody show with lots of mucus. As I sat there I began to feel contractions and started timing them. By 3 I called the hospital and they advised me to come in and now, almost 24 hrs later I'm dialated 5.5 cm and it looks like I'll be having her natural. Thanks be to God!!!!
