Lot of dots
My DD was 6th August
Started getting cramps like period pains at 8pm thought it was because I had upset tummy
At 11pm I thought I'd check with labour ward for advice as live 1 hour from hospital
I'd been timing them times were like 13 minute , 15 , 27 , 35, 18
So well far apart and not regular and not that painful
She said it might be early labour or it might just been because I was having the runs.
She said if your waters go then come in or if they get to 5 minutes apart think about driving in
But for now go take paracetamol and go to bed.
So I did that last time I times one was 3am then I feel asleep and woke sharply at 3.56 ran to bathroom and it wasn't period cramp this time but a sudden sharp stabbing in bum and I know from 1st baby that's baby coming
Screamed at husband to get up and call ambulance he was running about room going what's the number 😂🙈. Ahh I can't find how to use your phone, it's a iPhone and he has one , he was just in a blind panic
I'm screaming the baby's coming now do something , we thought neighbour was a MW so I shouted at him to run and get her and I rang 999
Ran to a bigger bathroom in our house and collapsed on floor from pain and two pushes and baby was out
Ambulance arrived 6 minutes from when my call came in but baby was already out by about 2/3 minutes
So from me waking suddenly to holding baby about 8 minutes
No warning or normal proper contractions at all , no show, no waters breaking etc
Just some mild cramps then suddenly woke up And he was on his way.
Ambulance took us to hospital at 5am as had to delivery placenta in bathroom and God that was agony.
Got released at 10am same day
