After a false start on Thursday morning, I had been mostly getting fed up!!
On Saturday morning at 5 Am I was woken by a strong BH/contraction. Then came another about 20 mins later. Throughout the day I had loads, all between 2 1/2 mins and 20 mins apart and lasting 45 seconds and above.
From 7:30 PM I was having contractions 5 mins apart regularly so I called Labour Ward.
I called them back after a further 30 mins of contractions 5 mins apart and they told me to go in.
Arrived labour Ward at 9:30PM. Shown to room. Midwife will be 'with us in a moment' at 10 she came in to see me. By this point I was ready to eat the Gas and Air and she examined me. 2cms
BUT
By 25 past 10 I HAD to push so sent for the Midwife to come in.
She examined me and I was 7cm
After a fair old bit of screaming and shouting at DH when he was heading for the hand sanitizer I delivered Lauren Louise at 10:42 PM. She weighed in at 7lb 15 oz and blimey I felt every bit!!
I had a bit of a PPH both on Labour ward and on the ward overnight and ended up on Syntocinon drip to get my uterus to contract, and had a few hours confined to my bed as I had a catheter one side and drip the other.
We are back home, Lauren is breastfeeding fairly well, but going through a tired patch at the moment so not that interested hence I have time to type this up!!
The Lil' Spooky's both adore her, and I will hopefully later get round to updating my profile with a pic of the three of them.
