I went into labour at 9.30pm while i was in bed reading a mag, i had full back labour no pain in my tummy, I was so tired i just wanted to sleep. My only regret when i was in labour was that i for some reason didnt go downstairs. I shouted down the stairs to my fella that i was in labour and ended up staying upstairs making trips to the bathroom for baths and use of toilet but didnt actually go down stairs until i went to hospital at about half 1.
I wish i went downstairs and did more instead of just try to sleep, and i wish i held out longer at home but i didnt have a very supportive other half and felt i needed to go to hospital so i was in the right place with support.
I feel really bad because i pictured myself going downstairs and saying "im in labour!" and i pictured pottering around the house but instead i stayed upstairs lay in bed and pottering around the bloody bedroom. I kept trying to sleep which made my labour longer because of lack of movment, i know im being silly because i did really well. Do you have any regrets when you went into labour? did you picture you doing something other than what you did? How long did you last at home? Was your partner supportive?
