  1. A Family Affair ... the unintentional homebirth of baby 'Lumpy'

    by , 29-07-2012 at 07:22 (Birth 101 - 101 Birth Stories and Counting ...)

    "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

  2. My 52-hour labour and emergency c-section

    by , 17-07-2012 at 14:11 (Birth 101 - 101 Birth Stories and Counting ...)

    "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.

  4. The long-awaited arrival of Autumn Willow

    by , 31-05-2012 at 20:44 (Birth 101 - 101 Birth Stories and Counting ...)

    "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.

    by , 24-05-2012 at 15:33 (Birth 101 - 101 Birth Stories and Counting ...)

    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 ...
