.. well what i can remember of it.. i dont remember many times and some things are a blur but here goes..
Monday 14th April, thought my waters had gone, went to the hosp to be examined, was told it was my front waters and sent home, from Tuesday had pains every 10 mins or so waited and waited for them to progress..
Friday 18th April stood and cleaned my full kitchen, extractor fan, cupboard and chip pan included, also kinda helped OH move our living room up stairs into our bedroom.
Later that night pains were every 5-7 mins, thought nothing of it and went to bed as normal, after texting my dad to let him know.. i then woke at 4am, stood to go to loo and trickled, i knew it wasnt pee as i couldnt stop it, sat on the loo and finally got up to get my phone, OH woke up and asked if i was ok, i told him my waters had gone, and he shot up, baring in mind hes the kinda guy that could sleep through a tornado. i sat back on the loo and pains were dot on every 5 mins. i finally phoned the hosp while packing my hospital bag, my chosen hospital was full so called other local hospital, then called my dad..
15-20 mins later at about 4.45am dad arrived took me to hosp, was examined and told they cant see how dilated i am as my full waters had gone, they also cant see nothing because of the fluids there, she asked how often they were when i last counted i told her every 5 but seem to be more often now, mum counted 3 mins.
she sent me home and told me to count and come back when they are every 3.. went home counted and yes, they were every 3, i got in the shower (no bath ) to relax for a bit and at 8.15 am i called the hospital again and dad came at about half past..
I think i remember her examining me then took me to the pre natal ward. my OH was with me, didnt know what to do with him self. i had a bath there and some paracetamol and tried to relax.. it then felt like my body was pushing for me, i couldnt stop it.. not too sure where my mum and dad was at this time but then i remember being told im going to the labour ward to get in the birthing pool. (looking through texts on my phone, i was going to the delivery ward around 3pm..
my mum and sister then appeared from somewhere, OH gave me a kiss and dissapeared with my dad..
i got in one room that had no pool and was told to pee, i tried, but couldnt.
anyway she told me to try stand and walk etc, couldnt do that either, i was getting mad as no one understood that my body was making me push and i really couldnt stop it like they kept telling me to..
i remember having a bite of a tuna sandwich then i was being wheeled to the birthing pool, finally, what a relief. got in the pool and it was just amazing..
again looking through texts, my OH asked if i was in the pool at 5.46pm on the 19th april. my sister replied that i was about there on the last stage to push.. i know my body was still pushing for me and i kept telling the MW but they told me to hold it and breathe, they didnt understand i literally couldnt, i needed to push.. finally at about 10pm after examining me and saying 'oh i can feel his head just there u can push now' i was finally pushing..
after about a hour of pushing i was told i need to get out of the pool and to a normal ward as his head was stuck on the u bend. heart rate everything fine though..
back in another room and pushing i honestly felt like i couldn't do it, MW told me she needs to cut me to give more room for his head to come out as im too small, the pain i felt during the cut was excruciating, 3 anasthetics later i could still feel it she just got it over with.. pushed again still stuck. i then heard doc come in with a tray that had forceps on, i was shattered by this time but i pushed with all my life so forceps were not used and at 12.11am on easter sunday my little boy was put in my arms only to be taken away as he wasnt breathing, i was asking why he wasnt crying, i was that tiered, shocked and scared i couldnt do nothing but look blank at my mum who was stood in front of me so i couldnt see what was going on, my poor sister saw the lot, full ressucitation chest pumps, oxygen mask.... the longest 10 mins later my baby boy was back in my arms, i can not ever exlplain the feeling, my OH and dad then came in and the MW returned with toast and tea!!
a hour or so later MW came back to see the damage done, she said she thinks i tore and might need to go into theater, i remember her finger going up somewhere it shouldnt and having a feel.. i had a 3rd degree tear, she said it was bad and i defo need to go into theater.. OH mum dad and sister had to leave because it was out of visiting times, i was told to rest, at about 4am saturday morning i went into theater, had the spinal and was fixed up.. out of theater at about half 5 and went to go rest.. OH came back at about 8.30 and i then went to the post natal ward over night..
so over all, part water birth, 2 paracetamols to last 20 hours, no other pain relief to then go into theater and need a spinal & stitches inside and out. the outcome was amazing though, my baby boy means the absolute world to me and i would never be without him!!
