Hey Ladies 
I haven't got much of a birth story as I hadn't slept much. First day back from hospital today, Jayden Lee Walker arrived 9 days overdue on the 2nd of June 04:11am weighing 8lb 1.6oz with no pain relief!
Had dull period pains all day on Thursday which I thought were nothing, that night I had a hot curry and me and OH DTD twice (side to side) around an hour later I started to have regular 8-10 minute contractions all through the night, needless to say I didn't get much sleep, All day Friday my contractions were getting stronger 4-6 minutes apart but decided to try and get on with my day, late afternoon I couldn't really handle how much they were hurting so we decided to go to the hospital to get checked at 9:20 and I was 3cm dilated (Posterior cervix on the Wednesday) so she did a sweep to get things moving and sent me home as I'd drive myself crazy 'clock watching'
. I really couldn't take the pain anymore so we went back to stay in the hospital and I was 4cm dilated 2 hours later. Breathing through contractions for hours and drinking lots of powerade rocking on the ball I really couldn't stand how much pressure I could feel so I got back onto the bed for the midwives to see how dilated I was and I was at 8cm! 2:53am I had the urge to push and by 4:11am Jayden arrived 45 minutes after pushing, I was only in active labor for 1 hour and 11 minutes. I will not be forgetting my waters bursting all over the midwives 
I've probably missed a few details
Only thing that's really getting me down, is piles.

Here is my baby boy


Sending lots of luck to you all
