Seems like I’ve finally got 2 minuets I’m going to share my birth story as I absolutely loved reading other peoples😂
Thursday 22nd I had my 40 weeks midwife appointment but I was 39+5 at 10 clk, as I was walking down the steps in the doctors thought shit I’ve pissed myself but I’d had a terrible cold for a week so wasn’t sure if the sneezing or what ever buggered my bladder, I went Into the room and told my mam and the midwife and she sent me straight to the birth centre to get examined where it got confirmed, she booked me in to go back at 6 in the evening to get checked over but also booked my induction if I hadn’t gone into labor by 10 the next day, i went in at 6 and was only 2/3cm at most and got sent home till the pain got unbearable. 9.30pm I was crippled over in agony so went back down, got checked and was still only 2/3cm having contractions ever 6 minuets apart for about 1/1 and a half minuets so they wouldn’t give me any pain relief and i was struggling, she said she’d check me in 4 hours at 2am, 2am came round and though my contractions were increasing in pain the time between wasn’t progressing so she said she wanted me to go home and wouldn’t even check me and also kept saying she thought baby was back to back as all my contractions I was feeling was in my back, by this point I couldn’t even get off the bed in pain so my mother huddled me into the car for a 40 minute journey to a different hospital and not a birth centre, got there at 2.45am spewed everywhere and after timing my contractions(5 mins apart lasting 2 minuets) she didn’t think I was far enough to get checked but saw I was not coping so I had a shot of pethadine and was told to wait in the “progressing room” I coped till 6 and was telling them I had too much pressure but again was told my contractions wasn’t coming fast enough but she’d check at 7 me anyway as i hadn’t been checked in 9 hours only to find out I was basically 9cm, so I finally had some gas and air but I was so far gone they couldn’t even move me to a birthing room I had to have her in a tiny room where they couldn’t even bring a cot in for her but after about 45 minuets of pushing my baby girl arrived at 9.17am on the 23rd of November, 23 hours and 40 minuets from the moment my waters first went💖 and it was hell but I feel like a bad ass doing it nearly all on just abit of pethadine💪🏼
