So i started getting contractions on the 7th June at 3am, but they weren't very regular and still very breathable! They stopped completely at 8am for about 2 hours then started to come back after a good bounce on my birthing ball!
They continued throughout the day becoming more and more painful so I went up to the hospital at 4am on the 8th June to be told I was only 2cm dilated and baby was back to back AGAIN!
When I got back home I managed to sleep between contractions but by 6 am they were excrutiating and with experience of my first being back to back I thought nothing of it really by 8am I was literally screaming with each one so I called the hospital at 9am who said to come back in!
Well in the car I was sure I needed to push and thought I couldn't do it anymore etc and started to really panic I must of looked like a mad woman! Got to the hospital mum told midwife I felt like I needed to push and I was then swamped with midwives who got me in a side room and examined me and I was 8cm dilated!!! (This was at 0950)
They then took me to the birthing suite with a pool etc and I got in the pool with my beloved gas and air and by 1009 my beautiful baby girl was born!
She came out perfect, had a very short cord so I couldn't hold her properly til they cut it! We spent a few minutes in the pool and then before I knew it I delivered the afterbirth and all was done!
I came away with a 1st degree tear and a graze so I am 100% chuffed with that! Still in abit of shock of how quick it all happened but my beautiful Evelyn is worth every second!!
