Right while I've got 5 mins, I thought I'd write my birth story!
Friday 24th October I got my show after a couple of days of having dull period type pain. I kept getting a show all day and gradually noticed the "dull period pain" getting abit worse. Went to bed at 11pm and around midnight the pains turned into contractions. At around 2.15am I couldn't stay in bed any longer and went downstairs. Within 15 mins of being up I felt my waters go so knew this was it and got Tim up! Rang the hospital and they said to slowly make my way in so after an hour at 3.30am we headed off once Tim's mum and dad came round. We met my mum there at around 3.40am. Got into the delivery suite and the midwife checked me and said I was a good 3-4cms but commented on my bump size, asking if I was monitored for it. I said my MW wasn't concerned as I'd been small with Faith so she had a feel of my bump and said she was guessing I was only 36 weeks gestation and not 38+3. I told her I've always said my dates were wrong! Anyway I started on the gas and air and noticed the contractions were getting really intense, so much so the gas and air was useless for me this time (last time felt it was great!!!) My mum could tell I was near to pushing so told the MW and she looked at me and agreed eventually (although mins before was still offering pethadine or an epidural!!!). So I started pushing and 7 pushes later Ollie came out at 4.55am, 1 hour and 15 mins after arriving there weighing in at 5lb 8.5oz! After he was born the MW still confirmed he was around 36 weeks gestation but treated him as full term and we went home at 4.30pm Sat afternoon! Couldn't miss the X-Factor!!!!!
Was so relieved everything went so well and was so shocked at the speed too! So pleased Ollie is here and our family is complete!
