As a few of you know, I'd previously been admitted at 27wks with suspected pre-term labour & sent home. Well 2.40am Monday 24th July my waters went. Got to the hospital & was told I was only 2cms but because I was 32+4 wks I'd be staying in. Anyhoo, started contracting at 4.15am & basically carried on until she was born. Around 3pm Tuesday 25th I went to the loo & felt pressure & pain down below & in my womb. I could'nt move & panicked that something was wrong. Pulled the emergency cord & was rushed to delivery. The dr's, mw's etc were all panicking because I was'nt contracting just getting this horrendous non-stop searing pain through my womb & kept screaming "Something's wrong" (not a good thing to do as it freaked everyone out). Got given pethidine & it eased. Was told nope, not labour you can go back to the ward to which I replied "Bet I have this baby within the next few hours". At 7pm I was still 2cms, at 7.30pm I was 9-10!! Unfortunately she kept turning so I had no urge to push, just horrendously strong contractions. Pethidine had worn off & was'nt allowed any gas & air as I had to push. Nearly 2hrs later, solid pushing all the way, our beautiful baby girl was born at 9.19pm. It truly was an amazing text book moment. As she was delivered the pain ebbed away. She weighed 3lbs 12ozs & is doing brilliantly in scbu (even managing to suckle on me )
After a long time trying, heartache along the way, we finally got to meet our little angel Katie.
Thanks to everyone for all of the wonderful support on here.
