Well im sure most of you know what happened but i thought i would do this anyway!
Went into the delivery suite at about 4pm on the 10th..needless to say i was crapping myself.
Had to let them put me on a monitor for a while when i was sorted..so i was on there untill about 5:30..waiting for the doc to come and he examined me and gave me a tablet to get things started at about 6pm..he then told craig to go home as he would let me sleep the night then give me another tablet in the morning.
Craig hung about while damon was monitered for another hour..then about 7:10 we went to the cafe to grab some food..was getting pains by this time but nothing serious.
Got back down about 8pm..craig hung about untill about 10pm then decided to go home so i could get some sleep.
12:50 am came and the pains were getting worse..so i had some paracetamol and went back to sleep!! Woke up again about 5am in agony, called my midwife who gave me 2 more paracetamol (i dont think she understood the pain i was in) and then asked me to stay on the monitor for 30mins and then she would examine me..so i agreed.
She came back as promised 30mins later to examine me and said i was at least 5cm's dilated and needed to get me moved.
They rang craig and before i knew it he was here.
They wanted to moitor me some more..but i kept saying i needed to wee with each contraction..so was going back and forwards to the loo! In the end i told her it felt like i needed to poo..turns out that was me needed to push not poo! I asked for some pethadine and she said it was too late for anything like that as it wouldnt kick in fast enough, i have no idea why but i didnt want to try gas and air when it came down to it..so i didnt!
So i got on the bed and got down to business and then my waters were broke by the midwife (i have no idea what time it was at this point) i do remember asking how long at about 6:45am and she said he should be born by 7:10 am..thats when it hit me..I HAD 6-7 ON THE BET! so he had to come out before 7am or i wouldnt win £30..so i tried a bit harder (i didnt expect that to be on my mind during the birth!) and he came out just in time!
I lost alot of blood and tore pretty baddly so thay had to call the on call reg to come and sort me out, the stitches really hurt when he was putting them in..he could have been a bit nicer about it.
Got moved to the derbyshire suite..which is crap..so i paid £52 for a private room for the night!
Anwyays thats about that.
he was born at 6:59am weighing in at 8lb9oz.
