Just that really! 39+2, waters started leaking last night, contractions started, went home and they eased until the early hours when they ramped up. Waited until they were 3 minutes apart and phoned the birth centre. Asked if I could hang on a bit longer so agreed to reassess in half an hour. 15 minutes later and we set off! Waters broke properly on the roundabout before the hospital and I knew I needed to push! Managed to hobble out of the car, pushed his head out on the zebra crossing and the rest of him came by the bus stop! Very thankful for a passing midwife who was on her way to work who was there and my gorgeous DH who was ready to catch him in his polo shirt!
What a day!
