Loose stool and twinges were the night before. On 17/1/2010
Again, this was a freak of nature first labour.
-I vomited whilst watching eastenders (I think it was around 7.30ish and par for the course for eastenders veiwing lol).
-waters broke as soon as I came back from the bathroom and sat down. I was just about to eat a jacket potato. :(
-Went to hosp and was 1 cm, midwife confirmed my waters had broken and it was just a waiting game.
-Got sent home.
-Only lived 2 mins away from hosp at the time but had to get taxi because I'm the only one who drives and yeah didn't feel like driving.
-Female taxi driver asked me how my vag was feeling. Fun memory lol
-Absolute agony within 2 minutes of getting home. I was like the girl from the exorcist. Contorting, screaming. Trying to climb the walls, you know, general possession like activities.
-Had to call ambulance because this was all during the great snows of 2010! And whilst I didn't think I'd give birth so quickly I also didn't want to give birth in the snow or on the way to hosp and I was in so much pain at this point I needed something and that something was the wonderful beautiful drug ^entinox^ (choral singing).
Thank you ambulance man for shoving it in my gob! I saw the future lol.
--ambulance got me in to hospital and I was only 2 cm but so distressed and the weather was getting super bad they weren't going to send me home. 😇😇
-An hour later I was told in no uncertain terms that I could not have an epidural because I was 10cm and needed to start pushing.
-DD was born at 23.52pm 18/1/2010. 8 minutes before her due date.
Roller coaster. It was fun though and I'm so glad it went the way it did.
