I kind of want to share my birth story ...

[MamiBabi]

Would anyone be interested in reading about it or should I keep it to myself? I sort of want other people's take on things but I'm not sure if anyone wants to read about it, let alone give me their take on why I'm slightly peeved!

Bloomin' well done! I understand your anger, but as has been said he will have been panicky and confused too.

NOT as serious at all but I remember feeling rather at an ex of mine who was trying to ring an ambulance for me as I was lying on the floor writhing in pain. He said he couldn't get through to anywhere and then realised he was dialling 333 "because the 3 on the phone is in the place where the 9 is on my calculator" [ shock]

Thanks everyone. Maybe this thread should have been started in AIBU - I suppose the resounding response would have been - a bit!

I probably wouldn't have planned the birth as it happened but I am quietly pleased with the way things turned out - fast, no need for pain relief and a healthy 8lb4 baby to take home. Plus a reason to have a go at DH if he steps out of line in the future

Fantastic birth story! Congratulations - or perhaps I should say llongyfarchiadau as your name suggests this might be appropriate. Da iawn!

Diolch mejon!

wow what a story!

Im sure your DH was in a full blown panic mode and full of confusion on a plus note at least no one else was around in the carpark and im pleased you and baby are doing well!

Gosh i really enjoyed reading your story!

Congratulations and WOW at you!

And what everyone else said about your DH...he was trying

Congratulations! What an awesome story - you did brilliantly!

Please don't be too hard on your dh - it sounds like you still have unresolved issues from the first time round (not judging - trust me, have got the tee-shirt re stored-up birth angst!).

I'm honestly not being patronising but if you find that your DH's behaviour at the birth is really bugging you then it might be worth while going back to hospital to go over the details of your FIRST birth. I'm saying this because when dS was born it was HORRIFIC and totally coloured my perception of the events surrounding dd's birth (number 2) - all the resentment/pain etc that I'd stored up came out two years later and was directed at DH.

This might not be the case for you but if it is it can really help to get things straight in your head.

Once again HUGE congratulations - what a cracking birth story.

Wow Massive congratulations, I only hope that I could be as brave as you if that happened to me.

TBH your DH probably didnt realise just how close you were to delivering and panicked especially as your first labour was so hard. I would have thought that he honestly he needed to get someone and fast to get you inside - There arent many men who would like to believe a baby can be delivered in their car

Have you spoken to him about your feelings? That may help.

I don't think you should have been annoyed. He was going to get help. How can that be wrong?

Congratulations on the baby.
