Two weeks ago, at 38 weeks and two days pregnant, after having only
two contractions (10 minutes a part), my water broke (kind of funny because I was standing
in the kitchen and had just spilled my glass of water and cleaned it up,
and then was standing at the fridge refilling my water when there was a
"pop" and my water broke), made it to the hospital 15 minutes later and
was dilated to a 4, progressed to a 7/8 within an hour and then after
an hour and a half of pushing (baby's head was wedged sideways), our
beautiful baby boy Hunter (sex was a surprise) was born!!! A quick
(although not painless- I did have an intrathecal) 4 1/2 hour labor/ successful vbac!!
We are now settling in at home and so in love with our little man!

WOW!!! I hope mine goes something like this - what an amazing story! If you don't mind my asking, what was the reason for the CSEC with your DD?
DD was in a breech position... I actually labored at home and didn't get to the hospital until I was dilated to a 10 (even though we left when contractions were 5-7 minutes a part) and they could feel her feet. So we had to do an emergency c-section.
