Hello all 
i have finally got a computer of my own and have found the time in between juggling two children! So thought i would share my experience of giving birth to my little princess Taylor
On the 10th of October i started to feel slightly painfull contractions so i went to the hospital just to see if this was the start of early labour, it was indeed i was 1cm dilated! which i thought at the time was good news (how wrong i was).
So on the Wednesday the 12th i went to the midwife's hoping they'd do an examination seeing as i was 38 weeks at this point, but they wouldn't
and i was still in alot of pain!!
On Saturday the 15th i was getting very fed up with being in pain, she was back to back and the pain was just awful when trying to look after little man at the same time i was finding myself getting very impatient, so i took caster oil
THE MOST DISGUSTING thing i have ever tasted in my life and never , never, never again will i be doing that!. it failed to work.
Wednesday 19th the pains got stronger, so my dad drove me to the hospital i failed to mention to anyone that the pains had stopped when we got to the hospital
this baby was begging to become a big pain!!, the midwife examined me and i was still only 3cm dilated!! having been already told this at the midwifes earlier on that day, so got sent home
Thursday the 20th (due date!) the pains were there all day this time not just on and off and very uncomfortable, by 11 o'clock i was in an extreme amount of pain, so i was taken to the hospital again! and still only 4cm! so instead of keeping me in like they did when i was pregnant with my boy they sent me home once again 
and i spent the night on my exercise ball trying to cope with the pain whilst my OH was sleeping two doors away thinking he was going to be at work the next morning after a long night of trying and failing to get any sleep! and being in agonising pain, me and my dear mummy carved a pumpkin it got rid of 40 minutes LOL ....
nearly half past 6 and i was getting ready to phone OH and tell him i needed to go back to the hospital but didn't want to as i was fearful id be sent home.
Sitting on the sofa with my leggs crossed i felt a pop, i knew what had happened but was waiting for the gush which didnt happen only when i stood up and had a contraction did i feel asif i was weeing myself and realised maybe i need to ring OH and get him over here so we can go back to the hospital!
about 7ish in the morning at the hospital the midwife comes in examines me im still only 5cm! to them this is bad! (for me good! because once im at 5cm its a matter of an hour at the most!!
) Anyway the contractions had dyed down and she was talking about sending me home!!
instead she gave me 20 minutes to let them come back so i walked around and after 10 minutes i was laying back on the bed buzzing that button for my life 
She came in and offered me the gas and air which i took and loved!
she then offered me the birthing pool after thinking about i said yes and half an hour later i was taken into another room with the pool! which by the way looks and is amazing! Got in the pool and the contractions went again!! so i sat slightly out of the water so baby didnt get to comfy. it was about half 8ish when i got into the pool.
At 9.24am on the 21st of October i pushed my little girl out twice because her head went back in the first time! ring of fire twice is really not fun!!
She weighed 7lbs 6oz.
And is now sound asleep in her swing all snuggy and chubby
Thanx for reading if u managed to read it all! xx
