Hi,
Need to share as still in shock.
Today I had my 38 week midwife check up. Told her I had been leaking fluid since Sunday. Turns out it was my waters leaking. Told to go to hospital straight after so arrived about half 3ish.
Was checked out and already 3cm dilated and I didn't even know!
Drip was put in to induce me and then started the long wait for proper contractions.
These started at 8.30, but still only 4cm dilated.
Next thing I know, I have four midwives round me saying I might have to have emergency c section as baby's heartbeat went low, then contractions kicked in, 4 pushes and 21 minutes later, my baby girl was here!
I still can't believe it!
Thank you for reading, sorry it's all a bit of a ramble. I'm off to try and get my head around breast feeding!!
