Hey I'm 17 I had my daughter Jan 26 on her due date.
Here's my story...
On Jan 25 I was having lots of bh contractions. They would come & go I thought it would be a good idea to bounce with every contraction. Well surly at 1 in the morning (Jan 26) I had bad contractions & I already knew it was the real deal. My stomach went lose & I felt like I was going to get diarrhea. So I was in and out of the restroom, on one of my trips I lost my mucus plug after that I decided we should go to the hospital since it was about an hour away. When we left it was already 3 we got to the hospital at 4:34. When I got there they checked to see how far I was dilated I honestly don't remember how far I was but i guess not that much because they had me waiting for an hour in that room before they took me into the delivery room. Once I was taken into the delivery room they injected me with the iv, I was then asked if I was going to want an epideral but I denied It. I wanted to go natural (: ima say about 30min later the nurse came back in she told me that she was going to break my water well surprise she couldn't find it. She asked me when my water broke and well it never did. She looked worried so I got scared. She said everything was ok that I must have been leaking it out without knowing she told me the baby was ok trying to calm me because my blood pressure was going up.
She exited the room to get my doctor on the phone and let him know I was almost ready. After some time she came back in to check on me it wasn't that long from when she left and she was surprised that I had dilated so fast she ran out to get my doctor at this point I was already pushing. The nurse came back and was telling me not to push yet because my doctor wasn't here yet. Well I screamed at her and said "this baby is coming and it's coming now so get whoever the f*** you need because I'm not waiting another minute" she ran back out and came back with a doctor she walked in and explained that she was going to assist me in my delivery because my doctor wasn't here. So we got to it. I pushed two times and she already knew I was going to tair so she cut me down there I pushed another three times and I already knew the baby was at it's shoulders. This is were I struggled the doctor had to push my daughter back in for me to push again and try to get her out. I tried and tried but couldn't get her shoulders out. When the nurse said my daughters heart rate was dropping this is when my mama bear came out and I made myself push and push until I was out of breath and my daughter was out :) it took her a while to cry making get worried but soon enough I could hear that little wine and I was the happiest mom on earth. She weight a little under 6 lbs and was 19 and 1/2 inches long. Born at 7:15
I had a second degree tair :( but worth every stitch.
I strongly recommend going natural it's totally worth every minute of pain and honestly it didn't hurt as bad as women make it out to be.
Good luck & congrats

My baby girl was due April 9 which is the day I had my induction app, at my app just before noon my Dr checked me n I was 3 cm dilated so we went to eat n arrived at L&D at 1:40 n right after they had put in the 1st quarter of the pill they had me walking around a lot n my contractions started coming on their own n normal as well so they quit inducing me but had me continue walking a lot, at around 5 I was dilated to a 5 n still walking around a lot as contractions were very bearable to where I couldn't even feel I was having them. Then at 8 I contractions started getting really bad n I couldn't walk anymore so I stayed in bed, at 9:30 I was dilated to 7 so I got the epidural my Dr broke my water n at 1:10 I was to a 10 n ready to push, at 1:39 after 5 pushes my baby girl was born 7lb 5oz 20 1/2 inches long. It was the best labor ever...

My boyfriend was working night shift at the time, from 3:00pm-11:00pm. He had just called me on his break saying they wanted him to work an additional four hours, meaning he wouldn't get off until 3:00am. I got off the one with him and not even ten minutes later at 9:15pm, I get this popping sensation in my stomach, stood up and *gush* it was indeed my water breaking. Luckily my mom was with me to drive me to the hospital. Lol she was more nervous then I was. On our way to the hospital I'm trying to call my boyfriend but no answer, so being an emergency I call his job and he calls me right back. I told him that my water broke and I was on my way to the hospital, which from his job is 45 minutes. I got to the hospital around 9:30pm and I was two centimeters dialted and 70% effected. My boyfriend got to the hospital around 11:00-11:30pm and at that time my contractions were bearable. They didn't become unbearable until around 1:00am but I stuck to my plan and went on without and epidural. You can do it!(: Around 3:30am I felt the need to push so the nurse checked me and said I can't because I was only at nine centimeters, that if I pushed that I could swell. I kept telling them that I HAD to push so within ten minutes I dialated to ten centimeters. Yay! I pushed for twenty minutes and my baby boy was born, weighing 7lbs 2oz and 20in long. I didn't tear or rip. It was an amazing experience.

I highly recommend trying to go natural. The recovery is so much quicker.

Good luck!(:

I went in at 2 Am exactly a week before my due date. It water was breaking at home (just gushing not fully breaking) on the way to the hospital i started having contractions. I was in labor for 19 hours! My baby wouldn't come out! Lol they started giving me pitocin because I was dilating slowly. I was at a 9 for about 4 hours. There was a little piece of skin my babies head was getting stuck at. She just couldn't pass. My mom and husband went to the cafeteria and the doctor told me it was time to push! I called them to hurry up there. The worst part was not being able to eat
