My Birth story the short version
07.15 left the house to go to the hospital.
10.45 the gel was inserted
11.30 i was feeling pains.strong ones.
I went for a walk but they didnt ease.
13.30 i got up and kept feeling like i needed a poo.The contractions were very strong.I was quite but let out the odd mumur.
The women next to me i could here them laughing.
14.00 i said to DH if this is the start id rather die
15:15 something didnt feel right i couldnt rest atall.I threw up everywhere and kept trying to go poo.The midwife was called in and she said to me she wont check me until 4 and i was only in the start of labour and to calm down.
15.45 I ask Dh to get a midwife.I told her i wasnt feeling right.she said its normal and contractions will get strong and she wont check me until 4.I said ok ill try go to toilet and she stop and said 'you need a poo' i said iv been trying to go for a couple hours.
I laid back she checked me and her face said it all.
I said dont tell me im 3cm and being a wimp.She said no your fully dilated!!!! rang the buzzer and everyone come to whisk me off to labour ward.\I was in shock.They explained pain relief wasnt an option.
My DH went very pale.it was alot for me to take in,the sudden realisation i was fully dilated hit me and the urge to push was so strong.I was scared to push at first.when i did it felt better.I tried gas and air for 5 mins but chucked it cos i was feeling whoozey!
i was pushing for one hour and told dr i couldnt do it anymore.Se lied and said she would help me
after 2 hours of pushing she said we need to cut you.i said do what u want.I did not feel the cut but heard it
When dh said the head was coming out i pushed with every strength i had in my body and she was born 0603.It was rather surreal.
its incrediable what your body can do if i had known how dilated i was i think psychologically i would have felt more pain.
whilst they stitched me up it hurt soooo much i asked for gas and air the dr laughed her head off.
and dont for one second think it didnt hurt me it fricking hurt
but to love someone so strong and instantly.It was incrediable and im so inloe and i love my husband ever more then before
