Sheet! That wouldn't have been easy to hear

I'm not sure why everyone thinks your body can't do it all at once, when bubs decides. I have never had prelabour, never dilated early, never been told what my bloody cervix looks like BEFORE the baby is imminent, no Braxton Hicks and never been in labour longer than 5 hours....

That surgeon is a d ick and I'm sorry your friends thought he was right.
