The woman always knows when to go to the hospital.<br /><br />I had the same experience (almost) as you with my first baby. The OB kept telling me that first babies are ALWAYS late, so when I went into labor 7 days before my due date I kept brushing them off as Braxton-Hicks much longer than I should have, in retrospect.

I'm sure it's difficult to handle, so that makes sense that you refused to go in until you were positively sure the baby was coming out!

I can't promise that this kind of thing will happen to you; my midwife has only treated one other woman-ever!-who "didn't feel her labor," so I think this type of labor is a bit more rare. But, it does happen, and since I've told people my story, I've actually found that a few other women have had slightly similar experiences.

Wow, did you push while the car was moving, or did y'all pull over so you could push (since I'm guessing you didn't know how far down the baby was yet)?

When mom told him it was probably time to leave for me to be born, he said he needed a snack first, and sat down to eat a pizza and read the newspaper. I was born 3 hours after they arrived at the hospital.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-76922553812516960362016-06-18T10:46:01.014-05:002016-06-18T10:46:01.014-05:00It was pretty insane.
