I started contracting yesterday at about 1030am after my little sisters graduation I was 37 weeks exactly! On Thursday June 4 I received news I was a loose 1 cm and 80 effaced I went to the hospital yesterday at about 1:30 and go sent home because I was only about 3 cm and nothing was changing except my contractions still were coming... went home had multiple showers still contracting...at about 9 am today I did some nipple stimulation for about 5 minutes and bam those contractions came. And wouldn't stop at 10 I went to the hospital I was 4-5 cm and it hurt like hell...I tried to get an epidural at about 230 pm they couldn't completely put it together because his heart rate was going down.. at 3:24 pm I delivered my baby boy only 15 minutes of pushing.. not bad for a first time mom....he is 6 pounds 2 ounces.. 19 inches long... never thought I love someone this much...all the pain was worth it
