I thought I better go ahead and post Lauryn's story, we don't have too many posted....
I was put on "bed rest" at 32 weeks due to PTL. What is bed rest anyway?! I never got it, not with a 2 year old to look after
DH and I had a pretty nasty fight on the 25th and he had been sleeping in the guest bedroom for 2 nights
I had been having contractions daily since the 32 week mark, so hard to say exactly when labor started. Sometime in the evening of the 26th I started to have regular contractions, but I didn't believe this was "it", so I would time them for a while, then go to sleep for a while. I never woke DH. On the 27th, I woke up when DH left for work and timed them some more and they were very regular and I still didn't believe it! I posted on FF after I had either peed or my water broke
'cuz I still didn't believe it. By this time I was bleeding too. I called my mom (4 hours away) and told her my symptoms and she yelled at me to call Robert or she would and to get to the hospital. Someone called the neighbor to come over (she came with us to the hospital since I didn't know if my mom would make it and her teen daughter stayed with Thomas) and I finally called Robert. He had just gotten to work and headed home. We finally got to the hospital about 9am, water was definately broken, when she checked me there was no water to be felt up there. They hooked me up to pit and the epi and she was born after 1 push at 1pm. All in all a very easy labor
