    "It wasn't until the following afternoon that I could finally hold
    our long-awaited baby properly"

    At 36 weeks I was measuring 39 weeks and as bubs was my third I knew she was going to be bigger than her brothers. By now I was having weekly OB checkups, and had been having Braxton Hicks since around 20 weeks, so I wasn't too concerned when around 39 weeks they were more full on.

    "I was so proud of myself and couldn't believe it was
    over and done with in 2.5 hours!"

    After weeks of false alams, I was woken up by short, sharp pains. It felt like I was being ripped apart inside. I went to the toilet and noticed the tiniest bit of blood, but didn't think anything of it as it didn't happen again. Went in, woke up DP and said I didn't think he should go to work today, but after a nice hot bath decided it wasn't the real thing and said ...

    "It felt like forever but ... he was out in seven minutes according
    to the birth documents"

    When we arrived at the hospital, the birth suites were vacant, but were being cleaned, and we were put in another delivery suite, until one was prepared for us. By then, I could not walk, every step, I was having a contraction.

    My step sister came to the hospital with my bags and stayed with us. She rubbed my back and my belly, Jay wiped my head with     ...

    "Her birth was one amazing experience, even if a little unexpected.    "

    My EDD of the 29th March passed by. On the 30th I had a check with the midwife. I was 1-2cms dilated and about 50% effaced. She gave me a stretch and sweep, and the next day I started to lose my mucus plug.

    On the 3rd, DH and I took DS for a long walk. Back at home we DTD and I napped while he headed off to work. I woke at 4pm with what felt like strong Braxton Hicks contractions,     ...

    I had bleeding at around 9 weeks, which had never happened to me with my other two pregnancies. We had two daughters 11 and 7 years. I had our first at 34, second at 39 and now our third at 46 ( I hoped). I went up to the hospital for the day, certain I had lost our baby. We had always wanted a third, but tried for years and nothing     ...
