Quick BS I was feeling like I was a bit wet down there, really uncomfy and loads of pressure most of the day. By about 7 it was obvious my waters were leaking (couldn't tell u when it started as there was no obvious pop!), had tea and was having some short but regular contractions. Phoned hospital who told me to come in as I have previous GBS history and need iv antibiotics. Got to hospital about 9.30pm with pains getting stronger. Went to triage and put on monitor- requested water birth so they went to start filling it. Contractions getting more & more painful and were every 2 mins! Waters went and there was meconium in them so told I had to stay on the monitor and no birth pool. Was 4cm at this point. Went to delivery suite around 11pm- in a wheelchair as pains were too strong. Started on g&a, soon began to push and Jacob was born at 11.31pm. After this head was born it all went a bit crazy as his shoulders got stuck and midwife asked hubby to press emergency buzzer- apparently about 4/5 midwives and doctors came in, bed was thrown back and they were holding my legs back and rocking on my stomach but I was just concentrating on pushing I didn't have a clue all that was going on!! Anyway he is all good now- weighs 7lb 9oz and all I've done is stare at him since ����
we have to stay in over the weekend so Jacob can have antibiotics as they never got time to put a cannula in me- the midwife was going to but then I needed to push so she got the birth pack out instead lol!! .

Jacob's a gorgeous name, they'll be another as soon as mine stops being so lazy in there! Jacob fans! shame about the birth pool, I'm hoping for one too. Enjoy baby cuddles and hope your home soon Xx
