I had my 4th sweep at 2pm wasn't expecting it to work, so arranged to have a bbq, we lit the bbq and all neighbours were ready my cousin was on her way down with kids, and i got some niggles, nothing painful or regular my cousin said with your history just get to hospital now and no panic about kids, we got to hospital i was 4-5 cm dilated so midwife asked my birthing plan, i said get to hospital, so she said shall i break your waters and we'll start the stop watch, my waters were broke at 5.45pm i had some gas and air which was heaven, midwife told me to push but i said no was scared of it being too fast again so i fel very in control letting baby do alot of the work, midwife promised me if i listened to her i wouldn't tear like last time so i did she told me to blow i blew and he was born at 18.18pm weighing 8lb 13. She was right no stitches not even a graze, I cant believe how calm and relaxed this birth was it was definately my best. I am so happy and so are all the other kids, my 15 month old has just accepted him walks past strokes him on the head and carries on.
