This is kind of a wild quick story! I can't believe how fast you got up and out of bed and to the hospital!! How close is it to your house, miles wise? And how quick did someone get to your kids? So awesome! Congratulations on baby #3!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-3-birth-story#post-2776012 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 15:17:54 +0000 matador84 2776012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: actually since it was the middle of the night we just left the kids sleeping! I texted my neighbor first and when she didn't answer in about 5 we called the next person on the list! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-3-birth-story#post-2775995 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 14:36:17 +0000 Truth Bombs 2775995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: Thanks goodness you made it that fast! I'm impressed you could get someone to your house so quickly to stay with your first two!! When my water broke at 1am with my second I drove myself to the hospital and had to have my husband stay home with our older daughter until school opened at 6:30am :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-3-birth-story#post-2775965 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 13:32:47 +0000 matador84 2775965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few minutes so I thought I'd type up this birth story. Not quite as exciting as the last one, but still pretty crazy! </p> <p>I was 39 weeks and had gone to bed around 9. I kept having to stand up and try and use the restroom and just felt generally unsettled. I kept asking DH if he felt as hot as I did. At 1115 something made me wake him up and tell him we needed to go (to the hospital) and to get dressed quickly. </p> <p>We left the house at 1121 and arrived at the hospital at 1131. We parked the car and I even walked in on my own but felt a little crampy and I knew I was going to have this baby. They took us right up to L &amp; D. I signed in and the got us into a room by 1140. The nurse asked me some questions and then checked me and told me I was at a 6, so they were going to admit me and call my doctor. They moved me into a different room and told me my dr was going to come up and break my water. The contractions were about 5 minutes apart (or less, I wasn't even counting) and definitely getting more painful to where I couldn't talk through them. </p> <p>My doctor showed up, and broke my water at 1222am. He left the room and almost immediately I couldn't stop pushing. 8 minutes and maybe 3-4 pushes later, DS was born. </p> <p>My biggest baby at 8 lbs! Definitely a shock to everyone in the room. So glad I left when I did otherwise I wouldn't have made it to the hospital with this one either! </p>
