well on the 12th april everything started off as normal...went off to the shops did my wedding scrapbook hehe and at about 2pm started to get some mild and far apart contractions...so just didnt pay much attention Dh and I both joked that wouldnt it be funny if she arrived on her due date (13th) cause our son arrived the day after his due date...come 5pm though they were more regular but still not very strong so we had an early dinner and DH and I timed them for a while...but they ended up being very irregular so we stopped, i decided to call the hospital and just let them know i thought i may be in labour and they said to stay home as long as i felt comfortable and come in when needed...i paced the lounge room and walked up and down our stairs to encourage things along...
by 8:30pm i was feeling tired so both DH and I went to bed...but i was not able to sleep the contractions were getting much more painfull but still manageable...i sat on our spare room and just breahed through them but some required a bit of an ouuuccchhh too hehe...i managed to kill a huntsman in amongst all this, yuck!
anyway come about 10pm i was now yelling out through the contractions and DH woke to see i was ok...i said i was and had a bath for a while but for me that was worse cause the pain made it hard for me to get back out again...but i did and then i came downstairs to watch some tv and lay on the lounge...about 12am and i was starting to scream through the contractions and DH had to get me a bucket cause the pain made me :barf:...a few more contractions and my DH said yep time to take DS to my mums and me to the hospy...it all happened so fast...it got so intense so quick and in the car i was in lots of pain...i felt awfull i was screaming in pain infront of DS so inbetween contractions id reassure him i was ok!
we arrived at my mums and by this stage i was doubled over in the car and having the urge to push....very scary considering our hospital was still 20mins away!
the rest of the drive to the hospital was very scary every contraction made me need to push more and i felt like i wasn't going to make the hospital...my DH was great though and assured me we would make it in time...
when we were driving up to the emergency area of the hospital i felt something come out and it felt like a head, i was a bit freaked out....we made it in the dorrs of the emergency and into the trauma area and the man on duty infromed me he would get me a chair to take me to delivery but i layed on the floor and started pushing again...
in a split second i had 8 people lift me onto a bed and help me with some gas but i didnt find that helpfull cause then i couldnt scream lol!
anyway after 10mins of walking into the hospital our baby was born...
i didnt know what we were having so i asked the midwife and she said she would let my husband have a look....
he looked and then smiled and said ITS A GIRL!! i was so happy...this is our last baby so i got exactly what i wanted i now have a beautifull son and daughter...we are very blessed:goodvibes:
although i was meant to have antibiotics during labour that never happened cause she came to quick but after 48hrs of monitoring she was given the all clear and we could come home!
