My labour story!!
Saturday morning at 4.30am I started contractions slightly irregular so carried on my day as normal while get got stronger by 6am Sunday morning they were every 10 mi Utes and painful went Into labour ward at 7pm that night to be given a sweep and sent home agai as contractions where not as close as midwife would have liked... Within 2 hours of being sent home I was keeled over in pain crying my eyes out getting really bad contractions on my way back to the hospital at midnight where she realised I was in established labour but not quite 4 cm when she checked at 1230am gave me paracetamol and liquid pain relief, which didn't not help the pain, then proceeded to give me half dose of pethidine injection which again had no effect it came to 4 am when I was given gas and air due to having constant back to back contractions, examined again at 430am where she asked if I wanted a water birth and told me I was 7cm.... Went into the pool about 5.50 and by 6.49 my little girl was in my arms after I delivered her onto my chest myself... Such an amazing experience and would 100% do it all over again worth every moment of pain ❤️❤️
