Congratulations to all the new mamas! So many now 
LO is definitely keeping me on my toes. She is amazing but is eating SO much right now I'm afraid my breasts can't keep up. She seems to all of a sudden have trouble latching too, which makes me nervous.
As for my birthing story.. I woke up around 6:30AM 9/27 with some pretty intense pains. I started having streaks of blood in my underwear and discharge when urinating. I thought that I might be in labor. I went about my day with the contractions continuing and hit that mark around 4PM when things were getting to be too much. We went to L&D and sure enough I was in labor. I labored to 6cm without any meds or anything and then asked for an epidural. It was a great relief. My mom, dad, sister, her boyfriend, and my boyfriend all ended up being in the delivery room. When we tried pushing they all had a job whether it was to hold my legs, puke bucket, hand, etc. It was really awesome having all the support My water was broke manually and found meconium. We pushed and labored down for a long while and the next morning after seeing her head we noticed the rest of her body just wasn't going to fit (my mom and sister had the same issue) and I was starting to get an infection. The doctors suggested I get a c-section. I was absolutely terrified and started bawling and so did my boyfriend. So they prepped me up and I had the most excruciating back and neck pain when they laid me on the table, not sure why or where it came from. They pumped me full of medicine and kept asking me if I could feel a pinch and I could so the medicine wasn't working very well. Once they decided they were ready my boyfriend was brought in and they started. I felt the most intense pressure and it hurt so bad I started crying and then started throwing up all over the place. Apparently I started screaming too. They finally pulled her out (they had to cut lower and make a t cut because she was already down in the birth canal) and I got to meet her. She was so beautiful. After that I started throwing up black stuff every few seconds and after that I don't remember because I was put to sleep. I apparently lost too much blood and there was a problem with one of my ureters so they had to do more surgery and I was in there for over 3 hours. My boyfriend or family had no idea what was going on and was never updated and he thought something bad had happened to me and that he lost me. I finally woke up and was still on the table and was finally taken to recovery. I got to see my boyfriend and baby a couple hours later. We cried so hard when we finally got to see each other. She was 7lb 6.9oz 20 inches long, born at 11:47 AM on September 28th. I was told I would never be able to have a vaginal birth. I am recovering just fine now but am still very sore. I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight though which is pretty cool!

If my water breaks and no contractions follow my midwife comes to my house or I go to her for the first dose of antibiotics and then go from there. If my water breaks and I am in labour they give it when you arrive at the birthing suite.
We're a fun bunch
great timing! 
still no baby, but I'm glad wasn't last night as I'm feeling really weak. Hopefully tonight I'll feel better and he will appear. Think being this overdue is a strain on my body.
