Vix. I cried when I came home the dy after. I felt so sad for Jade but she is ok. I have just been having extra cuddles etc but I do feel sadfor her x probably hormones. She seems ok though.
Birth story (quick outline)
Had mild contractions but nothing more painful than BH. Just had ots but not painful. This was about 4.30pm. We needed to de nit the 2 girls hair ;x so we did that. I did the lotion and my partner washed the lotion out. As he was doing my eldest daughters hair I ran off to the bed. I said I was calling the community MW. As I phoned her I froze in horror and hung up. I told my OH the baby was in a weird position. An instinct I had for weeks. I said I wanted to go to hospital. An option he was sure I didnt want so he was miffed by this but called his mum anyway. I put the kids dinner in the oven because I was still not in pain but I felt 'familiar' to previous labours. His mum arrived I said I would rather go now then transfer in emergency and scare kids.
I called hosp on way and actually said 'I am probably not in labour but would like to be checked' the journey was 40mins and I didnt have a single pain at all....so felt like a fraud.
Went up to ward and said I didnt feel in pain. Was laughing and joking etc MW asked if I wanted antibiotics. I said no as I wouldnt have time. She exanined me and said I was 2cm. I was a bit peed
off. We hung around a bit longer deciding what to do. I went for a wee and the pain brought me to my knees. I said I think the baby is coming. I asked MW for G&A she said it was for established labour only. About 15mins later she heard my wail and let me have some!
She still didnt think I was in labour. My OH was very in sync with me. I literally communicated via my eyes as I suddenly felt shaky and sick...which I knee was transition. I pushed down while she was out room and my waters broke. I knew head would be just behind. Mw got in room and head was born and body in 2 pushes. Then Inwent into shock
I had same with 2nd labour total shivery and shak nd went white. I came too fast and brought baby to latch. Then my OH had a look if we had a boy or a girl and we both cried. My OH was sobbing constantly in relief/joy lol
My total labour was 2hr 15mins but they had to guestimate this as esculated fast *I told them it would*
Baby had meconium in her waters and was back to back. The back ache while transisition made me feel sick. She also turnt in labour and got stuck but MW saw her turn as I pushed.
She weighed 6lb 7oz and was absolutley ok.
I had natutal 3rd stagr and my placenta naturally came out about 14mins later x
