After a very long process of being in labour since Wednesday 31st May at 3AM! I headed for the delivery ward at hospital with my contractions about 5 minutes apart! I was currently 2cm dilated but in absolute agony with every contraction! On the way home stopped for a McDonalds for myself! I was up all night having contractions, with each one getting stronger and cleaner! After another 7 hours of having continuous contractions ai have only dilated 1 more cm, now being 3cms drew lated! I was told to return home once again, to have another hot bath and try to dilate 1 more cm to become in established labour! I headed home for the final time! As my contractions grew stronger and progressed to 4 in 10 minutes I decided it was time to head back to hospital at 5pm! I was examined once more and still no change, however they agreed for me to stay in the butterfly room and try to get my cervix to dilate and become 4cm! I was left for another 5 hours, with still no change, I had to either go home and continue, stay in and continue to try or to be given some pethidine to help me get a bit of sleep for the first time in 38 hours! I decided to take the pethidine to get some sleep! This allowed me to get a whole hours kip to myself in an uncomfortable hospital bed! I was also given codeine and paracetamol to help cope with the pain! I was finally examined again at 5am and was told I was 6cm dilated! As you could imagine, I was over the moon! I was given toast and coffee up in the delivery room, where I was to be held for the rest of the day to help along the rest of the way! After 4 hours I was still only 6cms dilated, however, they decided to break my waters! I was coping with every contraction as best I could, with only air before trying the gas and air! This helped with the contractions, however I felt I needed more for the pain at the bottom of my back! I was injected with diamorphine, which made me nearly blackout in 15-20 minutes! I was still using gas and air to get me through a contraction, whilst having had diamorphine! Every day is different with Freya, and I am not currently sat with her after having been awake for the 3rd time tonight, for different things! I just want to take her home where we can get to know her and her own little routine rather than letting her fall for someone else's ways!☺️👶🏼 My baby girl finally arrived at 18.56 on 2/06/2016 after an hour a half of pushing!👶🏼💞🎀
