My labour story.

i had been contractiong on and off for 3 weeks then on friday 9th on novemnber at 4pm i gt a really bad pain in my back after an hr i realised i was contarcting as the pains were getting worse. so i had bath and decided to see how things went as this had happened several times b4 and nothing had developed.

It got to 7pm and i decidedto call dp mates who said theyd look after cj and they cametround i then rang the hospital who told me to see how i was in an hour by this time my contractions were 3 mins apart lasting 1min and were quite painfull.

at 8pm i called an ambulance to take me in to hospital as my contractions were then every 2 mins lasting amin

i arrived at hospital where a mw met us and took me into the birth suite where i was told where every thing was, i sat in the rocking chair and started breaitng thru contarctions. aftear half an hr lol i told dp to ask mw if i could have sum gas and air and she came in and said shes examine me and see how far dilated i was and to listen to baby.

she did this and said i was only 4 cm so it was to early for gas and air but i couod have petahdine if i wanted too so i said but that makes baby sleepy and she said no its fine so i said ok

i was given sum pethadine and was told to lie on my left hand side and get sum sleep i tried this but the contarctiosn were so close together i couldnt rest so i was up on th birthball and the rail to try and ease the pain bu it wasnt working after an hr i asked 4 the gas and air again and this time she let me have it thank god it took the pains away lol by this time i was contracting non stop

after a few hrs she came in and i said the paisn were so much worse now and she examined me again i was still only 5cm dialted afetar 6 hrs of being there so she said i had to stop using the gas and air and have a bath hahah wtfs a bath goann do!! iasked her to break my watres as i new as soon as they broke baby would be out but she refued.

anyway i had a bath and was in 5mins b4 i had to get out, dp told me not to use gas and air as the mw said it will slow things down bolox to that i said im having it lol

after 30 misn of not using any pain relief i grabbed it id had enuff of that

the mw came back in and said marie its to soon and its not doing anything i replied it bloody is its taking my pain away and she just laughed at me lol

then a little while later she came back with another mw who was taking over her shift and that mw said are u happy with the gas and air and i said yeaa so she said i could stick with that and to call her if i needed anything all i could remeber was ahhh at last sum1 who letting me have it and nt tryingt to take it away lmao i asked them again to break my waters and she said no :s

an hr later she came in and asked how i was and i said i was in a lotof pain and she said shed examine me in an hr and see what was happenig she said i was still only 5 cm dilated and thats shed reexamine me in 4 hrs and if my waytres hadent broken she talk to drs about what to do next

four hrs later she examined me again and said i was still only 5cm and that she would think about breaking my watres but as babys head was high up she needed to ask the dr 1st she came back 5mins later and said she needed to examine me 1st to i said ok go aheaad so as she did i had a really bad contarction and scremed at her to get her bloody hands out!! so she did and i aploigised for doing that and she said it sok love im used t it lol

anyway she said baby head was still high up so she needed to check if she could break them incase the cord prolapsed she came back with another mw and they broke my waters it took them 20mins of agonising pain to drain my waters where i had so much and omg the pain increased even more!!!!

she reexamined me 5 mins after my watres had broken and i was getting alotof presure and i was 8cm!!

i new baby was coming quickly now

after a very short while i had the urge to push i was screaming i need to push and she was telling me no u dint i said i bloody no ive done it b4!! and she said ok lie on ya back and ill examine u and said nos shes still high hang on no i can feel her head i said so can bloody i lol

she said to psuh with the next pain i fi wanted too so i did and with 2 contarctions i had massive pressure there and new i needed to get her out of me

after 10pushes she was out and omg what a relief that was as i held my baby girl for the first time i was overwhelmed by the feelings i had for her my little angel was fianlly here.....
