I was pacing the hallway of our mobile house. I was having cramps but not frequently enough. I was groggy and tired. then it happened. My water broke! yeah, I could go to the hospital. An acquaintance had volunteered to take the toddler while we were in the hospital. We dropped her and then made our way to the hospital. Upon check in they ask me why did I think I was in labor, "My water broke" I answered
"why do you think your water broke?"
I know it probably is a routine question but me being irritable at this time calmed myself and then said, "I felt a release of liquid and I know I didn't pee myself."
So the admitting nurse said OK and then went to get me checked in. I got situated in a observation room and had a new nurse come in and ask me why I was there, mind you my chart was in her hand. I again answered that I was in labor. She asked why I thought I was in labor…. OK at this point I start to grow my devil ears and tail and through my teeth exclaim, my water broke… she then asked why did I think my water broke… again with the did not pee myself response. Then I had the Dr come and he asked me all the same questions… At this point my husband seeing the irritation in my eyes responded for me all the same answers. The Dr checked me and said… "Oh yes your water broke." I wanted to scream you idiot isn't that what I just told you.
So I finally got all situated with monitors and waiting for the anesthesiologist to give me my epidural… he was in surgery so I had to wait… they gave me something that they said was like an epidural and would take the edge off… ummm didn't work. Finally I got my epidural and about 3 hours later I had a new baby girl in my arms
