I'll put for observe only. That's it. Great. Move on. Did they have you register at a hospital just in case interventions were needed? No. Hindsight's 20-20. That would have been a smart thing to do. My baby was not head down. That was the big thing towards the end was, is he going to turn in time to be able to have a birth center birth? They talked about doing the aversions.

They recommended all the spinning babies techniques and the stretches and the chiropractics. He didn't flip until very, very near the end. So I got pretty nervous, but he eventually did. And he stayed head down. I knew that this baby had to come before 42 weeks. That was always the topic was what can we do to kickstart labor?

You can start doing red raspberry leaf tea and vaginal suppositories of like primrose oil. I never actually got to that point. I went into labor on Saturday the 8th. I remember waking up around like 11 at night. I woke my husband up and I was like, something's happening. I had been having Braxton Hicks and I was like, these are strong. So maybe this is it. But I was able to sleep through it.

I remember going to church the next day. So Sunday morning, this is how I knew I was in labor because we went to church and I could hardly stand up. The contractions would hit and I tried to power through. I would grip the rail in front of me as it would happen. And I was like, I can do it. I can do it. There were times that I had to sit down. The contraction was just so bad.

Our next door neighbor went to the same church and I remember her coming up to us at the start of the mass. And she was like, do you want to bring the gifts up? And my husband, he was like, today would not be a good day. She's in labor right now. And she looked at me, she was like, oh, okay. And her face was just in shock. I think she was probably like, why are you here?

I just remember that it was like, power through that hour of mass. We called the on-call midwife, told her what I was experiencing. And she said, it's possible this is false labor. We just want to make sure that this is the real thing happening. But go take a bath. If it goes away, then we'll just wait for real labor to start. I went and took a bath. The contractions did seem to go away.

I started feeling a little bit better. So I thought, okay, that was false labor. Kind of bummed out by it, honestly. But it was like temporary relief for a few hours, which was nice. But then they hit with a vengeance that late afternoon slash evening. It was the worst contractions that I had felt. It was going to get much worse. They were excruciatingly painful. The pain was making me sick.
