Leo Stuart Arnold - 2nd October - 8lbs 2 ozs (9 days early)

[mellllly]

Leo Stuart Arnold arrived 2nd October at 4.27am!! 9 days early!

My waters went with a massive gush at 11.15pm on Saturday night, we were sent over to the hospital to be checked out at around 1am.
I wasnt having any contractions so I went home to wait for things to progress, got home around 1.45am.

Contractions started around 2am, by 2.20am I was in the bath and had taken some paracetomol

I stayed in the bath until around 3.30am and I decided enough was enough. We arrived at the birthing unit at 4am with contractions pretty much on top of each other and he arrived at 4.27am!!!

Established Labour was approx 1 hour 27 mins
Total Pushing - 5 mins

They had to guess established labour as they didnt have time to actually examine how far dialated I was, the midwife was about to check and as she went to I had the urge to push haha!!

So yeah I just made it to the birthing unit on time!!
We were back home at 8.30am Sunday morning (4 hours old)
All settled in well, he is just perfect
