We had planned on a scheduled for Jan 3rd but on the 19th i told my DH she wasn't moving very much and she must be up to something, thinking she was changing postion or something, so the next morning i got up to pee and my water broke on the bathroom floor at 7am. I called Dh at work and said today was baby day and i would call him back in abit once i had a shower, charged the camera and called the midwife. I woke up my sister (she came in the OR with me) called my midwife and parents and the midwife said to head to the hospital around 8:30-9. My mom and sister drove me to the hospital and we told DH we would call him when we knew when the OR would be ready. They told me at the hospital that my OB was on holidays and so the oncall OB would delivery me later that night as the OR was booked till 8pm. The nurses did a nitrazine test to make sure it was amiotic fluid and i was hooked up to a monitor. The nurses started to worry when DD wasn't moving and tried getting me to change postions but that wouldn't work either so the OB came in and was worried that my cervix had an infection (it did) and said he wanted the baby out now. So within minutes we were flying down the hall towards the OR and DH was driving as fast as he could from work (he did make it on time) and within minutes my little girl was born with the cord wrapped tight around her neck that she couldn't move without choking herself so i guess she knew to stay still and we would get her help. She is doing very well and we went home the next day. She is 36w4d and weighted 6lbs 0.5oz and is 19in long, she is in preemie clothes for now.
