I was suppose to go into Labor and Delivery around 9am on January 30. Labor and Delivery had called me that morning to tell me they were full and to come in later in the day"
"I was having some contractions during the night but just thought it was nothing to be too concerned. I also believe that I had passed my mucus plug that morning so I went in to see the doctor. I was told I was only 2 cm and that I was to go home and call Labor and Delivery later to go ahead with being induced. I called Labor and Delivery around 2pm and was told to come in at 4pm. I was laying on the couch watching a movie and when I sat up to get ready to go I thought my water had broke. So we headed to the hospital."
"I was on Labor and Delivery being evaluated and was told that my water had not broke but because my blood pressure was high they were going to keep me and induce me on January 31. By this time I was having really bad contractions and was very sick. I was put into a room and was checked a time or two to see if I had progressed any, I was 3cm by then but 100% effaced. I was eventually allowed to have an epidural. About an hour after the epidural I starting having a lot of pressure and the nurse check me and said the baby's head is there. We were waiting on Dr Ndlovu to get there and once he did my daughter was delivered. She arrived on her own at 8:41pm on January 30."
