The speaker is discussing their experience of going into labor and giving birth. They initially felt cramps and thought they might be contractions, but they weren't sure. They downloaded an app to time what was happening and found that their contractions were not consistent, often occurring every two minutes. They were unsure if these were contractions because they were very painful.
They decided to go to the hospital, but were unsure if it was the right time. They were told that they should go to the hospital when their contractions are five minutes apart, lasting one full minute for an hour. However, their contractions were not consistent with this rule.
They arrived at the hospital and were checked by a nurse. The nurse could not feel their cervix, which was thin, and suggested that they might be having the baby. They were moved to another room and given an epidural. The baby was born shortly after, and the speaker felt a lot better after receiving the epidural.
The baby was born at 6:15 PM, exactly as the speaker had guessed. The baby was breastfed for a minute and was perfect. The baby weighed 6 lbs and 13 oz, which was a surprise to the speaker. The speaker was exhausted and ready to go to bed.
