So i woke up on the Saturday 13th April at 41+1 with contractions about 10 minutues apart. This lasted all day until i had a bath at 6pm, and then they suddenly became 3 mins apart lasting 90seconds. I called L+D who said to go in, so we went in and they were become closer and closer and i really began to think this is happening so quick and they were so intense i must be like 7 cms. Got to Mat assessment and they examined me and i was only 3-4cms. So the Midwife said they will just put me on the monitor and then probably send me back home. I was having contractions every 1-2 minutes lasting over a minute and babys heartrate was high, possibly due to close together contractions. I was also vomiting everywhereee too. Due to this they whisked me off to delivery suite straight away where a doctor was already there who broke my waters. The contractions Massively increased in intensity and i lasted about half an hour before asking for epidural which i got straight away. My mum and OH had a sleep while i dozed (it was 10pm at this point) and then at 1.30am a new midwife came on who examined me and i was 10cm. She stopped the epidural for a hour so i could feel the contractions, and at 2.30am came back in. I was feeling intense pressure at this point, but the nice thing was i could feel my legs again so could push agaisnt them and position them. Began pushing and it was bloody hard work, but he finally made his apperance at 3.14am 
We were expecting a 7lber but he was 9lb2!! and i got a nasty 3rd degree tear so got a very brief hold and then whisked off to theatre where he stayed with daddy. All together a good, positive experience though, i didn't write a birth plan but would of liked a natural water birth and delayed cord clamping and skin to skin etc but things never go to plan!!
So meet Isaac Anthony Haslam, born 14/04/13 weighing 9lbs 2 and he is perfect. such a content little baby. We both can't stop staring at him!
