Hello!
So, going by my Drs due date I was due on the 3rd. As usual didn't expect much to happen by then...
Saturday 5th, started having contractions around 4:30am and they weren't really progressing during the day so that night I went to the clinic to have a NST. They picked up full strength contractions, but the baby was doing fine and I wanted to go home. After much convincing they allowed me to go...
By Sunday morning everything had stopped.
Tuesday 8th I had a sweep and stretch. A few cramps that evening but that was it!
Friday 11th - 8:30am I woke up and was having very mild contractions. Figured that it was all happening but all my labours have been long so I laid in bed playing on my iPad. 9:30am told my husband I was getting too uncomfortable to stay in bed, got up, had a shower and started packing the hospital bag.
We had to go to the shops to get some food to leave at home for our kids so off to the shops we went. Brought the stuff back home and went out again to get last minute stuff for the baby.
By the time I got out of the car at the shops I could not walk and asked hubby to drive me to the clinic.
Got to the clinic at 12pm, Dr was on already on her way to meet us there. The clinic didn't have a private room for me so I told hubby I wanted to go to another hospital 30min away. Dr asked me to wait for her to check me first and then we would go together to the other hospital. She arrived after 12 checked me and said I was going nowher... I was 8cm and baby was about to come. She found me a room, basically kicked someone out! Lol and by 12:45 my baby boy Jasper was born.
3.9kg, 51cm and with a head full of hair. Once again, no pain medication for me. The fastest labour I have ever had and I am soooooo in love!
Seriously considering going for baby no6!��
Looking forward to hearing your stories! Good luck!! Xxxx
