Following lots of problems, i was discharged from hospital on Sunday despite me telling the doctor that i thought my waters has gone, i had a trickle, and was told that it was probably just pregnancy discharge.
It carried on right through until Monday evening when i thought that i had better ring the hospital.
I was admitted to L&D and it was confirmed that my hind waters had indeed gone.
On Tuesday morning i had the first pessary to induce me, and then another on Tuesday afternoon. By Wednesday i was experiencing terrible pressure and back pain, and spent the night crying in pain, despite the Midwife giving me Pethadine, and Cocodamol for the pain.
I then saw my Consultant on the Wednesday evening, and it had been decided to put me onto L&D on a drip to induce me further.
I was taken over to L&D at around 1am, and put on a drip, and everything started to feel a bit real, and scary. I rang my OH to come to the hospital because i thought things may move very quickly. I don't know why, but i had a funny feeling.
I was examined, and was found to be 2cm dilated, and the drip was started, and my waters were broken.
I was checked at 4am, and was found to be 5cm dilated, and by 5am i was really struggling with the pain, in fact i was shouting for my midwife to do something because i was really losing control. I am normally chilled out, and calm, so i started to scare myself with the nosie that i was making.
I was checked again and at 5:20am i was 10cm dilated, and ready to push despite the Sister telling me that it was too early. My midwife checked me, and yes i was ready to push...erm i told them that my body was ready to go, and i was trying to hold back with little success.
I was then told to push, and 8 minutes later Charlotte Rosemary Grace was born facing the ceiling weighing in at 6lb 15ozs.
I gave birth with just gas and air, with no stitches.
The midwife didn't tell me she was back to back in case i gave up, LOL!
OMG! i have never been in such pain in my life, i simply cannot describe it, and in fact i still feel quite traumatised by the whole thing!
I have SPD, and my contractions were all in my back, i thought i was going to break in two.
Two words...never again!
My afterpains are all in my back which doesn't help to forget the pain that i experienced, but i am back home now, and am doing well, i feel great, the bleeding had nearly stopped, and i have a beautiful daughter, who was worth every ounce of pain that i went through.
I was 36 weeks and 5 days pregnant, and Lottie didn't even go into SCBU, so i really count myself lucky.
