    "As I screamed "Mum! My waters broke on your couch!" my partner pulled up into the driveway."

    For almost a month, I was 3cm dilated, in what one doctor called "Pre-Labour". I'd been having Braxton Hicks contractions all this time, and my mucus plug had come away about a week before my baby was born.

    "But 'Lumpy' wasn't due for another week", I thought, so I decided on the 20th to have dinner at my mum's while my partner     ...

    "That was my first birth and a very horrible experience    "

    Most women reach their due date and just want the baby out!!

    I was 8 days over and was seriously over it - but that was just the beginning of my journey.

    I started having contractions while I was watching TV at home and I was able to sleep halfway through that night before going into the hospital.

    When I first arrived I was having three very strong painful contractions     ...

    "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.

    At 39+5 I had some regular contractions but nothing strong     ...

    "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.

    "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,     ...
