Waters broke at 9am Saturday morning.
22:40 Sunday night daughter finally born by emergency C-section.

So about 37 hours all in.

 

[Joy and Ben]

Waters broke at about 2.00am Monday morning and Ben was born 10.48pm Tuesday night. Contractions weren't painful just uncomfortable. Pushing for over 3 hours was not pleasant!!!!

from start to finish 3 hours... ..However was losing a little bit of water from 8.30am..went to hosp at 2pm at they said that I was 4cm dilated..but I didnt feel a thing!

Pain started at 7pm...had him at 10.02pm

From start to finish about 14 hours.

I had mild period pains throughout the day but didn't think much of it as I was only 38 weeks and was expecting to be overdue.

Started getting my first mild contractions in Toys'R'Us at around 4pm, they got a lot more intense around 6pm, and I went into hospital around midnight.

Once in hospital they found I was very constipated which was slowing things up so they gave me some pesseries to make me go to the toilet. Once I'd done the deed I had my show and labour speeded up quickly.

James was born 530am in the morning. My waters had to be broken once I was fully dilated.
