So I finally had my baby!
It all started last Monday just after midnight. My BH contractions (I was having quite a lot of them during last couple of weeks) suddenly became more and more regular. Somehow I knew it was it! It was starting. I was so excited I couldn't sleep at all. Watching the movie and writing down the time and lenght of contractions for most of the night. At about 5.30 in the morning I felt I'm leaking. Jumped out of my brand new sofa to dont make a mess and run to the bathroom. It looked like my waters broke. An hour later I had contractions every 5 mins. They were still not very painfull but I thought I better wake up my man as he is a heavy sleeper and usually takes ages to get up. But when I told him my waters broke he jump on his feet immediately .
We went to hospital about 7am, got booked into delivery suit, met our MW they asked me to climb up the bed and started ctg me and then all my contractions stopped... Typical I thought. MW called doctor and they said they are going to induce me. That was the last thing I wanted to hear. I was already 5 days after my due date and I refused the induction already 2 times hoping that the labour will start naturally for me.
I said I want to wait a bit longer this time too. To see if my contractions will be back. So at 10.30am MW examined me I was 2cm and they made a plan that they will examin me again at 1.30 and if there is no progress they will induce me anyway. Short after that I got off the bed and started jumping on birht ball. My contractions came back but they didnt belive me cause ctg didn't show it at all. In half and hour pain was so bad that I couldnt stand it! MW decided to examin me again - I was 8cm!!! All that in only half an hour. I think then they belived me finally. I got back on bed and the next half an hour was the worst half an hour in my life. I didnt get any pain relif as it was all happening too quick i didnt want gas and air. At 11.30 I was pushing. 11.37 my baby girl was born. Placenta another 4 mins and it was ALL OVER. I had my little star in my arms!
I knew I shouldn't be induced. Scary what could happen if they would speed it up then yet!
I've lost lots of blood, nearly 1litre and they couldn't stop bleeding for hours, so we spent all day in delivery suit, it was late evening when they let us go to the ward. But next day they let us go home.
It was hard, painfull, scary but sooo worth it!
I'm absolutely and totaly in love with my little daughter. Couldnt be happier
