My son Thomas was born 3rd December at 12.38am.
Got to the hospital at 12.10am and was 6cm, the midwife said she hadn't had time to read my notes as I'd only rang an hour earlier to say my contractions were 6-8 mins apart, so I told her that my last labour I went from 5cm to delivery in 40 minutes and only had to push twice. I think she thought I was crazy....
Anyway got in the birth pool and 2 contractions, 3 pushes later, the first of which broke my waters, 2nd was the head and 3rd was the rest of him and my beautiful boy was here.
I don't think the midwife knew what to do with herself as I'd delivered the head by the time she called for the 2nd person apparently required for delivery she said I was welcome back anytime haha!
7 days in and I'm finding having 2 quite tough, but things seem to be getting into a better routine now
