He started timing them, and they were 30-45 seconds long and 3-5 minutes apart. I did a lot of swaying and hands & knees with counterpressure from DH. The contractions were easy to work through, so we were in no hurry. We called our doula at 4:30am, and she said we probably didn't need to go anywhere yet. At 5:30 we called the hospital (30 miles away) and they said to come in since the contractions were so close together. We dawdled around a little (not wanting to get there too early) and got to the hospital at 7:00am. Little did I know that that little wave of naseau I felt walking from the car to the hospital was transition... 
There was no hall-walking, no laboring in water, not even really much change in positioning! I spent most of the next two hours standing next to the bed, swaying and leaning forward, or on my hands and knees, or side-lying. Then, all of the sudden, I had THE URGE! It was so amazing!! It was completely uncontrollable. I still had a lip all the way around, so I had to pant through a few contractions. DH was laughing at me in amazement of what my body was trying to do without me! Quite honestly, this was the only painful part of my whole laboring experience. The contractions were not sheer joy, but very bearable until that point.
