Well i've only had a chance to do this now, i've been busy being a mummy 
So my little girl is a week old today , i had her last Saturday at 8.22, it has flew in!!
So heres my birth story which i have to admit , couldn't have gone better!
Friday evening myself and OH went shopping , I wanted to get a birthing ball and some other bits and pieces, so we head back home and blow up the ball , I sat on it for about 10 seconds and said I would start my bouncing next week... How wrong I was!!
So about half eleven I head to bed, We DTD
, And sleepy time begun.
At around 1.30am I wake up with back pain.. nothing to bad but enough to keep me awake. So i get up and walk around for an hour, its getting worse and worse, so I decide to try distract myself and am bent down looking for my phone charger so I can go on Babyandbump! Next thing I feel a little gush , I run to the toilet and my waters are slowly leaking, So I wake up OH and tell him THIS IS IT!!
So 3:30am I get to my mams house and try to get a few things for the baby and myself, I hadnt even got my bag packed
Pains were coming 1 every 5 mins.. Still not really bad, lasting about 40 secs , all in my back.
Once a contraction was over I was able to laugh so I didnt think I could be far along..
We stay for a cuppa and get to the hospital at 4:30 .. Im checked and 2cms!
Im progressing fast and the pains are getting more intense, I asked for some pain relief, they checked me again and I was 3 cms.. So they bring me to the labour ward... I have the gas and air while waiting for the epidural. Total back labour. Gas and air just made me feel drunk as soon as I stopped it. Weirddd feeling but it did take the edge off and gave me somthing to think of.
About 5:40am I get the epidural, a low dose, I can still feel pressure but its not bad.
I have an hour of relaxing and being able to talk to OH without saying owowowow
Then at 8:00am I have LOTS of pressure, I said I need to push! She checked me and I was 10cms!!
So I start pushing, feels like I'm having a massive poo!! Her head was out after 5 mins , and a couple more pushes and she was born!! She slid out and the nurse caught her
Checked her over and everything was fine, she was weighed and was 7.3lb!!!
A great weight for 36 weeks.
She has LOADSSS of hair!! and looks just like daddy.
Here she is baby Kara...
Born 8.22am on 11th February.
So I didnt need any stitches and my labour wasnt half as bad as i expected. I shoudnt have been so scared. When its happening you honestly just go with it and it all happens so quick!
Hope you all have great labour experiences and I look forward to reading all you're birth stories!
