She even joked that I can move up my csection date if I wanted to. I was disappointed but went about my day. I fell asleep at 10 and woke up at 1 not bc of pain but bc my alarm is set to 1 to take my LO1 potty. </p> <p>I couldn't fall back asleep and realized I was having contractions. Called doctors office who advised me to wait which I ignored. We got to the hospital at 3 and he was born at 5:30! They didn't even have time to give me an epideral. I was shouting epideral as soon as I walked in but the admitting nurse took forever and the labor progressed too fast while she was taking her sweet little time. When I actually got into the labor room, the whole team was waiting and telling me to push. Oh man....I'm all about drugs so this was crazy! Still can't believe it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-long-after-you-lose-your-mucus-plug-did-labor-naturally-start#post-2458111 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 11:56:01 +0000 Mrs D 2458111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@misolee: will she do a membrane sweep?
