Mum of 2.
My second labour was so quick it was over in 15 minutes..
I was booked in for a stretch and sweep at 1pm
I dropped my daughter to nursery went home for a nap.. woke up had a shower and some breakfast then I started getting little pains I went to the toilet and had my show which was the tiniest bit of blood . I wasn't in enough amount of pain to make me stop what I was doing, so I get to my appointment LATE. I had to wait a good half hour in between I was getting small contractions which were every minute . But I felt fine . So I go into my appointment and tell my mw iv had my show to which she says "ahhh your in early labour go home and wait " but I was adamant to get labour started so I asked for my stretch and sweep she kept telling me there's no point just wait it out .. then I had 3 contractions in a row which she timed so she said she'll check me . She literally checked me and her face dropped shouting to me do you think you can make it to the hospital ??!!! I said yeah .. she said "just leave now !! Don't put your shoes on just go" at this point I was confused because my pains wernt that bad 😩 then I just about get to the car in the car park and realise I could feel my waters drop down . So i said to my partner we need to go back the baby's coming 🙈 . I stood there having one big contraction in the car park, two eldley women asking if I'm ok i just yelled yeaaah and ran back to my midwife . Got in there my waters broke and my 9 lb baby boy came out while I was standing up .. was an easy quick labour. No pain relief both labours
