So, will try to write down my birth story here.
I had suspected that my waters had broken, this was Tuesday, so I called the labour ward and they told me to keep an eye on my temperature and the colour of my water and to come in the NeXT day if nothing had happened. Nothing happened, so I went in the NeXT day to be told that my waters had gone and that I needed to be induced. My first reaction to this was: NO, I can't start labour now! I was fersking a bit out, but I got used to the thought eventually. At this point, I was 2 cm dilated. Getting induced ca take for ever, so I bought a lot of magazines to read and was prepared for the wait.
The first tablett was inserted at 11a.m and after a couple of hours, I got some mild period pains. At 3 pm I was getting cramps/contractions every 10 minutes, but very mild ones (I could talk through them). I ate a little bit and my contractions got stronger and lasted longer. At 4 pm they were five and four minutes appart, lasting 30 - 40 seconds and I had trouble talking through them.
They were going to check me again at 5pm and when it was a quarter past five I demanded to Get seen again. I was then 6cm dilated and was moved to a labour ward. Now my contractions lasted almost a minute and they were only 1 and 2 minutes apart. During my contractions I had to breath. Hubby was so good, he brought me somethibg to drink when I needed it and held a cold cloth on my forehead. Other than that, I told him not to touch me, no to talk to me or do anything during my contractions. And he managed all this very well
Around 7 pm I had an urge to push but was not allowed to push yet. It was really hard not to push, but I managed. A cuarter past seven or so (I'm not sure), I was allowed to push and it was such a relief! Finally I could "do" something!! This part of the labour was the hardest one and the most painfull one, but I realized that I was close to seeing my little girl so I just had to work hard to Get to see her. At this point there were two midwifes in the room, who told me I was doing really good, and said that it seemed like I had done this many times before. "If only all women in labour could be like this.." one of them said. My hubby said I was doing so great that it was almost a bit fun
At 7.40 pm my little perfect girl arrived and it was such a relief!! She was beautifull and just perfect!
I had two stiches done (but just to be sure, I didn't tear a lot) and no drugs what so ever I'm really pleased with my labour - giving birth is a unique experience and I feel so lucky that I got the chance to do this and to Get this little perfect girl home with me afterwards!! It's the best thing that has happend to me!
To all of you who's still waiting to go into labour, I know you'll do great! If I can do it, everyone can!!!
Will add some more photos when I Get some more time on my hands!!
