Lets start on the mon when i went to the midwife for my 37 week check. She felt for baby and told me it was back to back and head had come away from where it was meant to be ( at my 35 week it was positioned) . She said she would see me again at 39+4 and then i would prob be back at 40 to get my induction date so as u can imagine i was a bit upset.
Tuesday came and i made some cakes to pass the day and made fajitas for my man comin home from work. His parents visited and then i went with his so he could hoover his car at the garage. Not a single twinge all day. I sat down at 8.30 and ten mins later i got a pain. I thot hmm that was strange and let it pass. 5 mins later another came and then another. I let this go on for an hour timing each one comin at every 3&1/2 to 5 mins. I went to lie in bed but couldnt get rid of pains so it was time to phone triage. I explained wat was happenin and she said take paras and go to bed this could last a few weeks!! I did as she said but 5 mins later i had to run to the loo to be sick. I said to oh i dont think she knew wat i meant ao i foned bak. I asked to go up for someone to check me. She replied " well if u like but ill just send u bak home". Angry her reply but relieved i was gettin checked, we went up leavin my bags behind.
2045..As i lay on the bed to get examined, my oh said he watched the midwifes face drop as if to say, oh crap i was wrong as she told me "looks like ur goin to the labour ward, ur 4 cm". I just knew it.
As i went along with my midwifes my oh had to drive home to pick up my stuff...and my mum as he had fone to tell them and she wanted to be there.
I wanted a water birth so climbed in and agreed to some gas. I had originaly said i didnt want anythin but stuff that idea. After about 30 mins in the pool i was wanting to push but they were tellin me not to. I couldnt handle the pressure so decided it was time to give into the water birth idea and got out for some diamorphine.Just at this my show came.
Contractions got much better after diamorphine kicked in. I eventually convinced midwife at 0245 to check me again as i was still pushin but gettin told not to. Once again i was right. She felt about and stood back sayin "ok so with the next contraction u need to promise not to push. I need to go get the other midwife (who had went for her break) and ill go get ur Oh ( who was in the swapping over with my mum) As ur 10cm and should have been pushin"..... naw really i felt like sayin.
Relieved i was now allowed to push i felt so much better. I gave it as much as i coukd and after about 4 pushes he arrived. My son.
We were told i coukd get out at 11am but he could hold his temp so if was 10pm b4 we were let home.
As we were leavin the midwife said wat quick labour for ur first ul b quick next time and u would have only been 4 hours instead of 6 if i had listened to u and let u push.
Moral of the story...
Trust ur own body to tell u wat to do.
Contractions can come out of nowhere.
Enjoy ur experience..id do it again in a minute!
