Exactly. It should have been a red flag, but I didn't think of it that way. I was just like, oh, you know, okay. Well, it's your first pregnancy, correct? Yes. First pregnancy, first baby.

There were two group things that I did. One group was the glucose check. You would come in. There were other women there. And they would do it all at the same time. We had to wait a certain amount of hours and they have to recheck it. And then there was another time. But my appointments that I would typically go in for like my monthly appointment, it was just me.

The midwife would ask the same life questions. How are you feeling about supplements? They would do like a manual fundal height check, check the baby's heart rate with a Doppler. And that's really pretty much it. My pregnancy, I was very healthy. My son was very healthy. There was no issues. I didn't even have morning sickness.

And I didn't really get any swelling or anything to my last month of pregnancy. It was all pretty smooth. I worked all the way up until probably to like 37 weeks, somewhere around there. There weren't really any red flags until I went into labor and went to Origins. I was like an easy patient. Everything was normal. So it wasn't until things went abnormal, they had no clue of what to do.

On Friday, June 30th, I remember the mucus plug. I seen that and I was like, oh, I think it's about to happen.

Shortly after that, it was probably around 8 p.m., I started having contractions. Initially, they were pretty far apart and inconsistent. So, you know, it was early labor. And I did text the midwife on call that Friday night, and I told her that I was having contractions, and she gave me some tips, maneuvers to do. And this was, I believe, Danielle that was on call.

And then I had texted her on Saturday that, again because they were getting closer and closer and we thought maybe it's almost time to go in but she told me don't come in until they were four minutes apart lasting at least a minute or something like that so they wanted you to wait till you were like very very close in contractions it was definitely confusing it was a little nerve-wracking

Saturday, I did not sleep all night because every 10 minutes I was waking up, contracting, trying to move around. Then on Sunday, days started to get worse and worse. I would try to sit in the tub to try to help. I would try to move around. But my contractions, they were already lasting like a minute and they were already three to four minutes apart.
