It was a Saturday morning and I thought I had felt amniotic fluid slowly leaking so I called my doctor who told me to go to the hospital and have it checked. So we all headed out with the bags in tow, just in case, and when we arrived they hooked me up, checked me in and tested the fluid. It came back negative for amniotic fluid so we went on home. All day I had felt fine except for a dull backache. It was the night before a huge snowstorm was about to arrive. I had just given Kacy her bath and we were reading books in her bed. The ache then started moving towards the front. After books Kacy fell asleep. I went to go in my room and felt like I had to go potty pretty bad. I tried but only a little came out. Then I laid down and felt like I had to go again. This time I went and my water had broke. The contractions came fast and furious and there was no timing them like they say in the books. So I called the doctor, who could tell the pain in my voice,called my parents and woke up Joe and Kacy and we headed on our way, again, to the hospital. It was a long 15 minute painful ride to the hospital and Joe thought he was being funny but I thought otherwise. When we arrived at the hospital they asked if I wanted a wheelchair but it felt better to stand. They called up to labor and delivery to send someone down to get me. In the meantime I felt like I had to go again, so I went to the bathroom, but was in too much pain to do anything. When I got out the nurse was there to wheel me up and Kacy and Joe followed. As soon as they hooked me up to the monitors I started pleading for pain medication but they said they had to hook me up. When they checked me they said"Sorry, you can't have anything, you are already 10 centimeters and the baby is right there. So they called the doctor to come to the hospital, who is about the same 15 minutes away as we were. I never said I wanted a natural birth!
