Decided to write it all down before i forget.
Will start with Wednesday 17th, 4 days overdue. I had citizenship ceremony to attend in the evening and he was a good boy so stayed put. However during the ceremony i was having strong BHs. They eased off so was false alarm. On Thursday however i started losing a bit of plug and felt horrible all day, even called DH to come home. My body was definitely getting rid of everything. Had an uncomfortable night and an appointment in Friday with the mw and a sweep.
Friday the 19th, more BHs, saw the mw and she did the sweep, said cervix was soft so favourable and said i will ptobably have strong BHs after that will feel like contraction but will be false alarm.
This was around 12 noon. I had a hair appointment booked for 13:30 so went for lunch and then to get roots done. Was joking about going into labour but felt the same BHs. However they were getting stronger but i had been warned.
Finished with the hair, started walking home and contractions started to become stronger. I had to stop and breath. Popped into the supermarket on the way home to get couple of bits. Whilst walking home, called DH to say i was going to time contraction.
However when i got home all i could do was put the bags down and bend in pain ( its a maximum of 30 mins walk from the hair place to house incl supermarket).
DH calls me mid contraction so i am unable to talk, i tell him to get a taxi home asap.
Next thing is i go upstairs to get the baby bag, call my friend to arrange for her to pick up my son. By this time contractions were about 3 mins apart.
DH arrives, we hop in the same taxi and off to the hospital (poor taxi driver was petrified).
We arrived to the hospital and contractions were even less than 3 mins apart, i got BP done, they examined me and there was a bit of panic, i was told i was 5 cm, waters still intact.
They quickly got me a room and i was finally able to get some g&a!
What felt like 5 contractions later my waters went, all i remember hearing is the mw saying-the baby is coming. I was begging for pain relief ( i was in transition) but there was no time, i started pushing already.
As it turned out, Mark was naughty and turned back to back and his HR was dipping so they needed to turn him whilst i was pushing.
The pain was a shock to me as i had an epidural last time. I couldnt help but scream but it wasnt helping.
My mw was very good and keeping me focused and telling me what to do. She managed to turn him but he wasnt coming out so i screamed to cut me. She said she will have to give me an episiotomy to get him out, by that stage i didnt care, i just wanted him out.
17:59 after 3 more pushes the head was born, 18
0 on the dot he was out, screamed his head off and was on me for cuddles straight away.
Placenta was out 5 mins later.
I still cant believe he is mine, esp after such a quick labour it was a shock. It was only 1:40 first stage and 20 mins second stage.
Had more g&a whilst having stitches done, then a cuppa and toast, managed to shower and was transferred to the postnatal ward.
Tapatalking so cant see signatures
