Hi all.

Had my gorgeous little girl on Fri, at 9 days overdue. After a v short labour!
Amy Louise was born at 2.04pm weighing 7lbs 4oz.

Only just got to hospital in time! Had some mild contractions from 7am, which got bad about midday. So decide had to go into hospital just after 1pm. It's only a 20min drive to hospital luckily. We parked the car at 13.33. I had horrible contractions getting up to l and d. And when arrived they were still getting a room ready for me. So had to wait at waiting area at entrance. Had 3 horrendous contractions, which I couldn't cope with, was screaming! So we left bags and waddled down to desk, and quickly rushed into triage to b examined. Felt like I needed to push. Only just got some gas and air. Babies heart rate dropped, as she had decended so quickly! And pushed baby out in 7 mins! They estimated from onset of established labour to end, was 1 hour 10 mins! Had 2nd degree tearing, which is healing well.

Wishing u ladies still waiting for your little ones the best of luck. And hopefully u all hav great birth experiences.
