False hope

It's been a few weeks. Everything was going so smoothly. I was also very huge. We weren't doing anything intimate anymore. Doctors instructions. We still had arguments but when he could feel he was losing control. He would just walk away. Then I realised he picked up a habit. During our separation he started smoking weed. He also started drinking. I guess it was his way of controlling his temper. Closer to my due date. I moved in with my mom. I'm not saying she didn't have flaws. However she lived right next to the hospital. She also just got my siblings back from fosters. She was living in a low income housing. She was definitely doing a lot better. She was a lot more stable mentally, emotionally and physically. She had gotten married. Everything seemed to be a lot better than when I was a child. So I moved in. I got a room to myself. Then once everything got settled. We got the room set up. It was officially baby ready. My bd was living with us as well. We were happy. We created a daily schedule. Everything was going smoothly. Then one day he decided to take me out. He proposed to me. It wasn't a great scheduled proposal like you see on TV. He asked if I would marry him. I said yes. He handed me the ring. We continued like nothing happened. After the meal though. My legs were swollen and my feet hurt. So I took a bath. I began to have contractions. So I went to bed. Since I didn't see any blood anywhere. Nor even the mucus plug. Yes I checked before emptying the tub. I figured it was just practice contractions. I got them a lot in my 9th month on. When I got up the next morning. He had already left. I'm not sure what he was doing. Since he was off that day pretty early. It was a half day due to weather. It was about 9am when I hopped in the shower. It was a warm shower. I was trying to wake up and help with the cramps plus I had an accident. Then I made breakfast for myself. My siblings had left for school already. My mom and her hubby went out. So it was only me. After I was done cooking. I decided to do some cleaning. I had another accident. It was a small amount. So I didn't think much about it. I just finished cleaning. It took me about 3 hours to finish. I was almost completely done vacuuming the living room carpet when my mom came home. She grabbed my shoulder and asked if I was ok? I confused just said yeah, why? So she just looked at me with a horrified look. Then took me to the bathroom. Then I realized I was so concentrated that I never made it to the bathroom to get cleaned up. To my surprise though, it was blood and not pee. Like I had originally thought it was. She brought her stop watch and was keeping track. She had asked me if I knew when it happened. So I told her I thought it was pee and that was around 9am. My bd strolled in not long after I showered. Mom was trying to get me to the hospital. So I told her after I eat something. I felt like I was starving. My contractions were only 15 minutes apart. I finally went to the hospital. It was about 2pm. I had to make sure I packed the baby bag, my bag, get the camera and everything ready. It was all charged and everything. I just needed to pack them all up. We were already registered and was told to go straight upstairs. When we got there. The nurse who was not very gentle in the slightest checked me. She said my water broke but not completely. Then offered to break it all the way. That's when my mom told her we will wait until baby and body is fully ready belt popping her completely. I called bd. Who said he was going to come after he finished work. Since my body wasn't sprinting to the finish line I agreed. The next day he went to work again. It was around 10 am when my contractions were coming on full force but I wasn't effaced. My family did call him to let him know. He was again saying he will come after work. So my grandma went and got him and got him to me. They arrived just in time for me to be in full on labor. A complete 36 hours of labor and baby boy was here. Confused I asked if they were sure it was the correct baby. Doctor said my cord made it look like I was having a girl.
