Hey guys, whilst I've got 6 and a half weeks left to go, my friend gave birth on Saturday night, and what a birth it was!
She was 41+3 and due to be induced today.
She went to bed at about half ten and was then woken at 11.30pm with a sharp contraction, she didn't bother to wake her partner as she wasn't sure that this was it, but she felt like she needed a number 2, so she went to the toilet but couldn't go. She then went back into her bedroom and had another contraction. She then woke her other half and said "I think the baby is coming" He just laughed and rolled back over - LOL
After about another 2 contractions she finally convinced her OH that this was it and to phone his Mum so he could take their 3 yr old son over.
The journey took approx. 7 minutes and she was timing the contractions to every 3 minutes lasting about a minute, whilst trying to get her hospital bag and things for the hospital.
They set off to the hospital and then she felt the urge to start pushing.
They managed to make it to the delivery suite and she got checked. She was 7cm dilated. She was begging for some pain relief but the midwife said it was too late and she could only have Gas and Air.
She gave birth to a baby girl at 2.18am. Less than 3 hours after her first contraction, weighing a whopping 9lb 120z!!!!!! - Yes, very overcooked LOL
Not one tear, graze or stitch! I couldn't believe it. She was discharged at 9am and having lunch at her Mum in laws by 12pm haha. If that's not a perfect Labour/Birth then I don't know what is. Just wanted to share with you all x
