Leo was 5 days early. I wanted a water birth too but I arrived at the hospital 10cm dilated and ready to push. So there was not time to run it.

 

[MissGx]

Wow! Lucky! Sounds like you had an easy labour!

After about 8 and a half hours labour, I was only 3cm dilated and had no pain relief at all. I tried gas and air twice but both times it made me faint. They broke my waters but it made me jump straight to 10cm and Mekai's heart rate dropped so they pulled the alarm and a million doctors and midwives ran in and I had to have ventouse.

All the pain was sooo worth it!

 

[CharmedKirsty]

Yes I was lucky. You done so well to manage without pain relief

 

[MissGx]

I wanted an epidural lol, just to sleep, I was so tired the midwife described me as a 'floppy ragdoll' thats what they were breaking my waters for. I think when I have another baby I'd try to go without pain relief again because I felt so proud after.

Do you plan to have any more?

Sorry to O/T, did you ever do that Southbank meeting MissGx?

 

[MissGx]

Sorry to O/T, did you ever do that Southbank meeting MissGx?

Nope! Did you guys do your north meet? Everyone just disappeared!

Yes when Leo is about 2. You?

 

[MissGx]

Ideally, I'd like to start trying when he is around 18months-ish, but I'm going to uni in September so plan to try in my final year so I can have the baby soon after I finish - so nearly 4 years!

 

[CharmedKirsty]

What are you going to study? Think of it as more time where he gets all of mummy and daddy's attention

 

[MissGx]

I'm going to do midwifery! So excited!

 

[CharmedKirsty]

Brilliant!
