We went to the hospital overnight a few hours after receiving a gel to help ripen the cervix. We had a scheduled induction the next day since baby was overdue.
Looks like the induction wasn't needed after all. Water broke and labor began while I was asleep. Wife woke me up and after a few groggy moments we packed up some final items and set out.
As a family member watching labour, it was one of the most helpless feelings I've ever had. I have no idea about the pain and even the nurses say every labour is different.
I don't think I have the words to describe everything that went through my mind throughout the process. A baby being born is amazing and it's overwhelming when it's your own.
