This is how it was suppose to go
Drive to Perth
Go to JHC
Open to drugs, start with gas, go to pethadine, maybe a epi.
All done!!
This is how it really happened
We live a few hours away from Perth so I went to my local Gp until I had to go to Perth. Went were booked in at JHC and on my due date when in to see what was to happen. The doc did a stretch and sweep and said if the bub hadnt arrived then I was booked in a week later for an induction. And sent home.
On the way back about an hr from perth i went to the toilet and had blood, must be like when you have a papsmear, and got back into the car to go home.
At home dh went to cricket training, I lay around with braxton hicks, so I thought!!
Dh got home a little under the weather and we went to bed, about 11 i said to dh that the braxton hicks were really hurting.
We decided to head for our local hospital, a rebuilt hospital that since then has not delivered bubs.
When we got there I there ambulance was rung, by the time that got there they decided i would probably give birth in it on the way so might as well stay.
I had midwifes that hadnt delivered babies for many years, ( there was a call around the town for anyone that was a midwife to come in!!) a doctor that was attending his first birth, (with bad english that was telling me to pull not push) and a totally unorganised hospital, because no one knew where any birthing equipment was!!
I was offered oxygen, but no gas. That was it for drug relief!!
3 hrs later I delivered my ds, who was perfectly healthy.
I wouldnt change a thing because in the end it worked out!!
I cant wait for the next one!! (due dec) Hopefully might be in a real maternity hospital!!
