Labor story !

So yesterday I was bragging about how much I wanted my princess to stay in at least till the 18th but she had other plans , ever since Monday I was having real bad contractions but just was brushing it off bc I thought my BH was just getting stronger bc I was nearing the end. Well 1-6-16 I had a appt at 9:10am and like normal my doc asked me if I was having any problems I mentioned the contractions and yet again he said it was normal and also that 1-5-16 I had discharge but just thought it was my mucus plug well he went it to collect some cultures and to check me ( I was hoping to be a finger tip or so dilated ) but nope I was 8cm dilated with a bulging water bag. I immediately was rushed to labor and delivery and by 10:05 am I was admitted and in my room , I was having contraction back to back at this point and had asked for my epi , received it and was in la la land ( could have just went natural by was terrified ) 2:00 started pushing and baby girl was here by 2:05. I'm just shocked bc if I didn't have my check up today I probably would have been having my baby with my 1 year old by my side at home bc I was thinking it was just string Braxton hicks . Crazy part about the situation is my fiancé was trying to get me to go into labor and delivery the previous night which was tues night but I brushed it off lol so warm welcome to my princess Mckenzie Kaylee Lewis  7lbs 4oz && 19 1/2 in long !!!!
