So sorry its taken me ages to come back on here, I just read all your messages 
Well the last post I made was just before going to the midwife, I didn't make the appointment I was in that much pain she advised to call delivery suite and let them know, I was having contractions every 4 minutes at this point about 30 - 40 seconds each. The lady on the reception was soooo rude to me and said stay at home until you are every 2 minutes apart you still have a while to go yet
With this being my first I thought I was over exagerating and took her advice, also my waters hadn't broke so they weren't keen on seeing me so early.
Any how 1pm, the contractions got further and further apart, now every 10 minutes but lasting 1.5 minutes each and unbareable pain, phoned delivery and told her and she said "oh sounds like your labour is decelarting, you find this in false labours, go and lie down for a few hours and call me if they come back together".
Got curled up on the sofa and tried to get some sleep as I had been awake since 1am, 2:45pm my mobile phone went so I lent down to get it and my waters broke everywhere, It was bright green and thick and wouldn't stop.....then the pain hit me, contractions were back to back and I phoned the delivery and a different lady said come straight away, especially with green waters as baby had pooed inside me.
My boyfreind was driving through town and there had been an accident so the traffic was chocka, he sped through the bus lane and we got pulled over by the police
! He explained what was happening whilst I was screaming in the back, they blue light escorted us at 70mph to the hospital
through all the traffic.
Got to delivery suite at 5pm and they checked me, I had got to 5-6 cm myself with no pain relief!
7pm - internally checked 7-8cm
7:30pm -started gas and air and screamed that I needed to push, the urge to control myself was un bareable, the midwife said your not ready you can't be in half hour so I screamed check me then if you don't believe me! Sure enough I was 10cm dilated and ready to push! Pushed for an hour and baby kept slipping back round the bend to come out, he got stuck. All I remeber next is being surrounded by surgeons and doctors with my legs in stirrups, they had to cut me and use a vontous as baby was big and I would never have delivered myself (Why didn't they pic this up on my 37 week scan!)
Any way gas and air used for 1hr 30mins in total, did all the rest myself and baby Finley James Collins was born at 9:13pm 8lbs 10oz
I love him so much already and have only just been let out today due to the amount of blood I lost and I collapsed on the ward getting out of bed so had a transfusion yesterday.
I have exclusivly breastfed for 3 days and I would advise any new mums wanting to do this to persist, it hurts like mad first few days but I feel so honoured to be his mum everytime he looks at me.
thank you for all your help and support/advise and I can't wait to see you all in the new mums section xxx

Take it easy with those stitches - lots of hot baths with lavender drops
