I decided as it fresh in the mind to try and write my birth story today while Oscar is asleep .
All last week Andy kept saying every night "Is there any chance its tonight" and every night he got the same response "No chance dharl not a pain in sight".
Then about Midnight saturday/sunday he asked and got the same response again lol (How wrong i was) ..
I was chatting away on here no pains i had resided to the fact Oscar was going to be well overdue and i was just spending the night catching up online.
At about 12.45 i went to the toilet and i couldnt wee !! , I needed too but only a dribble came out and it hurt like mad.
When i came down Andy must of seen my pain face lol Because he said Gemma you look like your in agony, I said iam i think Oscars laid funny (It felt like his shoulder was stuck in my pelvis) next second i know im bent over the table crying , I had this strange pain .
10 mins later another came so i posted on here as i just knew it was labour allthow after only having back labours before this pain was very very strange and different...
My mum got stuck in Traffic so i paced around having pains every 4-5 mins by now Mum arrived to have the kids at about 1.30 so i rang the taxi not realisisng its a clubbing night so every one was ringing taxis , It came about 1.45 and i was sat in the cab sceptical it would all stop soon and it would be a false alarm .
Arrived at hospital to be told they didnt have a room for me on my team (Jasmine) So i had to shimmy down this massive corridoor to another team (Holly) , I got in my room and my mw Rachel followed .. She could see i was panting by now and asked if she could take a look .
I was expecting to hear your 3cm now or something but nope i got "Your 6cm and the heads a little high if it was lower you could easily be stretching to 8cm" shock is an understatement .
As soon as she took her hand out my waters flooded the room there was tonnes and tonnes of water it felt like flood gates had opened lol .
By now contractions werent at regular times just all the bloody time Lol and very painfull , I begged for an epi or something and i had only been there 10 mins it was about 2.20 and she asked if the pains had got more intense to wich i told her they had .
But she couldnt get to do an internal as i was clenching my legs together it was the only thing that helped the pain .
but she noticed i was bearing down and had gone passed transition stage , at 2.45 45 mins after i arrived rachel checked again when she managed to physically open my legs from my clamped position that is lol ..
I was fully dialated and head was ready .
I pushed like my life depended on it for 13 mins and out popped my lovely little man , I watched his head been born and put my hand down to feel it , It was amazing .
as it was sooo quick i only managed 3 puffs on gas and air , i didnt tear no stitches his cord was no where near his neck no poo in the water ... Was just a perfect labour .. He screamed and screamed when he came out wich was the most greatest sound to hear ..
Was weighed at a small 6lb 5 ounces and i only lost 100ml of blood in labour wich is good .
Were home now and he didnt sleep well the first night but thats ok because he has been good as gold today
Heres some piccies of my little Man Oscar Thomas waterfall .
