Friday morning, Ann's water broke at 4:15 am. She woke me up, I switched on the light, and it didn't take a medical degree for me to confirm it. We checked into the hospital by 7:30 am. She was examined by 8:30 and found to be 3 cm dilated. The doctors put her on a pitocin drip, which was like rocket fuel. She accelerated to 9 cm dilated in only 90 minutes. She got an epidural during that time. Unfortunately the baby was in a posterior position, which is not good. It can easily end by c-section. Luckily by 11:35 am the baby had rotated 180 degrees and was in the proper anterior position. After only 25 minutes of pushing, the bruiser came out:
