birth story..

you see so many scary ones sometimes it's nice to see the other side of things...

so I started contracting at 1am, by 5am they were uncomfortable so I got in a warm bath for 3 hours.. I took paracetamol and slept at much as I could in between contractions. By 5pm the pain was too much so I went into hospital to find out i was 7/8cm dilated (depending who you spoke to) and was given gas and air and wheeled straight down to the delivery suite.

I had a shot of diamorphine to help ease the pain and by 10pm I was ready to push.. it did take an hour of pushing and towards the end I was struggling but at 23:15 she was born. I had to have a few stitches but within the hour I was up walking abouts being able to do things on my own :)

I was petrified of labour but just listen to your body it tells you what to do and it calmed me down massively!xx
