where do I start!
Ok I had a sweep on thursday 11th sept, I was one day overdue. Nothing was happening, my cervix was still thick and posterior, but she was able to do the sweep, didnt hold out much hope of it working though.
The next day, friday 12th sept I was in agony, I had really bad backache and just felt so sore down below, I got on with things as usual. I had a show around dinner time
I'd been waiting for it lol, but knew it could mean nothing. I took Ella to all kinds of play, a session at sure start and was really achey, but went to town afterwards just for the walk about really. Then that night we DTD, I woke in the nigth with quite strong period pain, but thought nothing of it as I'd had that before.
It was my lie in on saturday morning, but I got up around 9.30 to some pains, these were different to the usualy braxton hicks becuase they kept on coming. I tried to ignore them though and told OH to go out to watch his game of footie as planned as no point him hanging around. so he went at 12.30 and it was just me and Ella at home.
The contractions got quite regular, so I called the miwfie who came out to examine me as home as I was wanting a homebirth. When she came the contractions seemed to die down, and she examined me and cervix was still thick and posterior, this was at 2pm, so that was a bit of a downer as I thought it would be ages yet. So she left and I pottered about and had some toast to keep energy up, then they started to get stronger.
I txt OH to come home as I wanted a bath as they were quite intense (and i wanted to wash my greasy hair lol), I had a bath, and was breathing through the contractions, I washed my hair and straightened it whilst breathing through contractions
Then I came downstairs and they were really really strong, I sat on the sofa curled up in a ball and cuddled ella who was saying "my sister stop hurting mummy's tummy" she kept asking me what was wrong bless her.
I remember timing them at 5ish and they were coming every 4 mins, I thought it would be a good idea to call labour ward again (it kinda slipped my mind and I left it a bit late!) and they said there was no-one free to come to me
so I had to go to labour ward to be examined.
So off we went, I had a feeling I had to go right away as they were coming thick and fast, my mum was on her way for Ella but there wasnt time to wait, we went and took her to daves dads for my mum to pick her up from there. At 5.30 I txt my dad, sis and friends in the car saying im going in to hospital.
We arrived at 5.50 and by this point I felt like I needed to push and that I was trying to holding her in with each contraction, I got took to an assesment room to be examined, she saw me and said do you feel like you need to push? I said yes, so they got me on the bed and examined me, my waters went and I was fully dilated so she said right with the next contraction push! I was gobsmacked, I wasnt even in a delivery suite! 5 pushes later and she was here, 17 mins after getting to hospital!. Kaitlin was born on the 13.09.08 at 6.07 pm and weighed 7lbs 15oz.
she is perfect love her to bits! xxxxx
(wrote alot considering it happened so quick lol)
