Hi, my name is mary, when is your due date? My little girl is 4 and when I was pregnant with her, my contractions were like 10 min apart, but I was not having any back pain with them, but I do recall 4 am that night, I started having lower back pains and I told myself this is it, my husband took me to the hospital, and they told me that I was a dil to 2, and they had me to walk around for about 1 hour around the waiting room in the hospital, my water never broke , but my contraction got even harder, well when I went back to my room there, they checked me and they said I was a 4, and they kept me then, they arranged me my privtae room for me, my doctor had to break my water, and then they gave me potosin to bring my labor on even more, and when I was almost a 5, I had my epidural, then I was feeling better after that, my daughter weighed 9pounds and 6 ounces and 19 inches long, she was beautifal. I was in labor for 10 hours, do you know what your having? Congradulations to you, im so happy for you. Take care from mary.
