My Birth Story
Monday 21st April 2008, my 18th birthday, I awoke at 5.22 am, to my waters gushing all over my bed.
I went to the bathroom and discovered my mucus plug had come away too. I woke up my boyfriend
and mother and I had a hot bath and then we all went downstairs. I had a lovely time opening up my
birthday presents and within the hour I was having regular contractions between 7 and 3 minutes. I had
never anticipated them to become so regular so quickly! I was in quite a lot of pain expecially in my
back as baby was in posterior position (back to back). By the time i got to the hospital at 7.45 am i got
taken straight up to a midwife led unit. I had 2 codeine tablets to kill the pain however it wasn't working
so I went on the gas and air. Within seconds I was relived with the gas and air however it caused me to
projectile vomit poached eggs all over my mums trousers!!! At 9.30 am my back pain become so intense
that i asked for a diamorphine injection in my thigh after i had my internal to discover I was only 3 cm dilated.
At 10.20 am I had a second internal discovering I was 10 cm. I had a bit of a rest and at 10.40 am I made my way
to the toilet as i felt her head between my legs, 3 pushes later standing over the bathroom sink, I delivered
Hallie at 10.48 am, i was so lucky the delivery came at such a ease and I have no tears and need no stitches.
