Well here we go ....
4.30am Wednesday morning i was awoken to my waters breaking all over the bed (stupid me didnt have a protective sheet on either
) woke up OH and phoned delivery suite and made my way over to the hospital. Headed over and they checked babys HB and pretty much sent me back home!!
By 9am i was in a fair bit of pain so we headed back over, they came in and checked me over and i was 4cm dilated. They explained that i was feeling it more as she was back to back so i had some pethidine for that just to ease the pain.
2pm came and i was only 5cm dilated so i got the hump and started on the gas & air, mw was encouraging me to walk around but i was so tired i just kept nodding off inbetween contractions to get some rest. By 6.30pm i was 9cm dilated, this was when i reeeeeeeeally got the hump and wanted to push but as i finally got fully dilated one tiny piece of my cervix wouldnt budge so the senior mw tried to get my to lie on my side swiftly to be told "No i cant f**king move im staying like this"
Eventually by 8pm i was ready to push and boy did that bit hurt, i never imagined that part to take so long. The gas & air mouthpiece didnt leave my mouth for the entire hour unless it was to shout or moan lol.
At one point i had enough and asked the mw to "pull her out because im not doing this anymore ive had enough" As professional as she was she burst out laughing at that
So at 8.57pm baby Brooke came into the world, to a crying daddy and a stunned mummy. Weighing in at only 6lb 13oz with a thick head of blondey hair. I came away pretty much intact, not tears/cuts/stitches just a little bit tender and sore as to be expected. We were home tucked up safe and sound by 12.30/1.00am. They offered me to go home i didnt ask, they said i could choose as everything had been straightfoward and there had been no complications and both me and Brooke were fine
Brooke is sooooo tiny its unreal, im loving being a mummy although ive got one noisy baby who loves to scream the house down, but im sure she'll be fine once she's got the hang of things. One things for sure she's a real daddys girl already
Right here are a few piccies!! I will hopefully catch up with all these new arrivals soon
