23. How did you know when it was time to go to hospital?
I was feeling pain throughout the day (after a Dr. appt), but it wasn’t until after I was in the hospital when I realized I may have been in labor all day without knowing it. At about 10:00 that night I laid on the bed in a lot of pain and when I got up I thought my water may have broken (it wasn’t much; that’s why I wasn’t sure). I called the Dr. and after trying to describe my pain, etc. (this was hard to do over the phone) he told me to go ahead and go in (we were totally expecting to get sent home), but when got there the nurse confirmed my water had broken and we had to stay!

Loren
