Here is my birth story...
Woke up on Wednesday morning at 1am with peroid type pains in my lower back and belly, they seemed to be coming every 10 mins but as it wasnt a tighening feeling i wasnt sure what was going on...
They then started coming every 6 mins and soon changed to every 3 mins, so we phoned the hospital and went in. I still wasnt convinced it was labour as my waters hadnt gone and my tummy didnt seem to be going tight.
When we got there (at around 2.30 i think) the MW examined me and said i was 5 to 6cm dilated, so thats when i had to accept that it was labour and not just practice pains.
I then got in the pool and tried to labour as much as i could in there but that didnt last long, about half hour later i knew i needed and epidrual so i got out and waited for the man to arrive with it.
He got as far as putting the anathetic(sp?) in my back and then my waters went and i could feel baby there, i had Gas and air at this stage as the pains were alot more painful, i told the MW he was there but they didnt seem tob elive me, just kept saying i couldnt move coz i had the needle in my back... i told them again he was coming and they looked to see his head crowning so the guy took the needle out so i was able to move, as soon as i moved baby came right out in one push on to the bed.
No stitches, tears or grazes, and no pain now, only shattered as he seems to be feeding every 20 mins or so...hopeing this will settle when my milk comes in.
