2 weeks before, Braxton Hicks on & off kept me on tenterhooks
10am - went to hospital for an induction, was already 4cm dilated so couldn’t have pessary
4pm - They offered to break my waters but I opted for a sweep to get things going
6pm - contractions started as dull painful thuds
7pm - had a bath, walked around the house and consulted Google
8.30pm - went to hospital
9pm - waters broke while being examined with a big ‘pop’
10pm - gave birth to a huge 8lb 8oz baby girl
