Didnt even have time to do a this is it thread cause it all went in such a blur lol...

Id been havin lots of false starts which put me to 3cm at my check up on Thursday-after the app from about 12 I started gettin contractions every 10mins (thought it was another false start as felt the same and expected it to die off around 7pm like it usually did) but I got 2 that time and it didnt go away. I got bouncing on my ball to take my mind off things lol. At about 10pm they really started to intensify - they werent getting closer together but were starting to last ALOT longer (about 3-4 mins) and REALLY intense so I started trying to ring the hospital... Engaged! Lol, finally got through about 11.15 and was told its best to wait until theyr every 5 mins but I got a contraction over the fone and hearing how I had to breathe through it she said come in to get checked so off we went, picked up conor and hit the road - got to the hospital about quarter to 12 I think it was - got offered gas&air while she checked me - I was 4cm :( felt a bit disheartened and took two puffs of gas while she was up there as was a bit uncomfortable. I was sick for the next 15 minutes!! I dont know if it was the gas but I think it was and it scared me so didnt touch the stuff again. Did the rest on breathing techniques alone :). When I got up to the room I started walking about, squatting, all fours and leaning over the headboard while I contracted for a while which were intense as hell but I didnt wna go for the gas again and just prodded on with it. Told the midwife to run me a bath (I wanted a birthin pool room but they were taken) so she agreed and off she went. When she was away I started feeling LOADS of pressure and started shoutin the babys comin, she laughed and said "youv plenty of time pet, he'l prob be here about 6-7". I said well somethings happenin so I guess I need to poo, waddled to the toilet and had to push, screamin; no poo - got in the bath and after two BIG contractiong his head was crowning - the midwife near died :L!! Head came out and i seen him under the water :) was so perfect when his head started turning round to face me!! <3 Then out he came and up onto my chest - and just started lookin round him <3

His name is Cayden Riley Dwaine Doonan, born on the 27th of April 2012 (his due date) at 1.15a.m. weighing 6lb12 and 47cm :) Hes perfect, such a good baby and hes my world <3

On the downside I tore the whole way up my birth canal and needed a dissolvable stitch equivalent of around 20 stitches aparently :/ ouchie, wasnt and still isnt pleasant but totally worth it and I would do it all again in a heartbeat!!

I cant upload pics for some reason :( so heres some links:
