Lucas Ames Birth Story - Birthing Center - I went in on my due date, May 27th, for my 40 week appointment with my midwife at the birth center. I asked her to check me and at the time, I was 2cm dilated. Baby was in the perfect position and she told me it would be a waiting game at this point. She offered a membrane sweep at the visit that morning but I opted against that. That afternoon, my husband Luke and I went to the neighbors house to visit some friends and went for a swim. It was the middle of May in Georgia and so HOT. After dinner, we were back at our house watching "My Best Friend's Wedding" when I started to notice what felt like the tiniest period cramping in my lower back. It was so mild that I didn't think twice about it. Towards the end of the movie I realized they kept coming and going so I pulled out my phone and decided to time them. They would come on about every 10-15 minutes lasting about 30 seconds. I'll admit I was pretty distracted by that point and began to wonder if this would be the start of labor. By about 10pm that night, I was starting to feel uncomfortable and decided to take a shower. Luke started to put our bags near the door and gather the last minute things, just in case this was the real deal..... head to my website to read the rest of this AMAZING birth story! ruthsbirthing.com
