Morning all. The birth story.
I lay in bed on Sunday night with what I thought were strong BH. I really should know by the third what labour is. Eventually got up at about 12.30 am and called labour ward. They said mw was coming but it was not a name I recognised so I knew she was not in my areas and could be a while. Hlaf an hour later still no mw and I told dh I would need to push soon. He called 999 and as soon as he was talking to the operator I needed to push. It was quite scary having nobody there and I really struggled to keep calm through the contractions. It was also bloody painful with no gas and air or anything.
The 999 operator was great and kept dh calm and told him what to do, it really helped him. Lily Annabel was born at 1.11 am weighing 8lb 1oz and the midwife arrived at 1.13 am, followed shortly by the ambulance.
Placenta took another 45 mins to arrive despite the syntometrine injection. I was then dispatched off to hospital in the ambulance as I had a 3rd degree tear from the speed of the birth. I had one with DS1 so not too surprised.
MWs were saying it was a shame that I delivered a baby with no pain relief and end up in theatre with a spinal block. I had adrenalin shakes for about 4hrs afterwards as it was so quick.
The hospital were great and gave ma private room so dh could stay for a while. They also did all the newborn checks early on so that I could get home asap.
We got home at 2pm yesterday and have had a pretty good first night.
Note for dh though is to listen when I tell him he will end up delivering our baby. 
And one handed typing while bfing is hard. :)
