My 3rd baby!

[SAVINA]

Ive been thinking about my birth experience with my 3rd baby as he just turned one on xmas day!
It all happened a year ago i started getting really bad pressure pain and really bad irregular pains about a week before but try to cope with it thinking that ill only get to the hospital and they will only send me home so i put up with it!
xmas eve i had really bad period type cramps through the nit but not regular.

come to the arvo i sat down for a rest and i fell asleep with drink in my hand and spilt it over me and i woke up with shock and jumped up out of the seat and pop my waters broke! about 3.30pm i go get bf and his having a smoke and just finished xmas drink! so he says your kiddin nope i say! leaking everywhere we quickly get my bags and mum rings tghe hospital and off we go! through red lights and all panicking as usually once my water breaks i need to push but we arrive at hospital about 4pm and i am 6 cm dilated and i have labour pains about 5 mins apart and then they increase to 2 mins and im in the shower just using this for relief until this is so unbearable i start swaying in a standing position and then not long the midwife is setting the baby warmer up and bf is reassuring me that it cant b to far away before baby is here i slowly am getting on the bed and through this all i keep having gushes of waters leaking from me!
and i start feeling this strange feeling which i now know is him coming down and i start the urge to push and this nearly kills me as it feels like im splitting in half and about 15 mins with me screaming and the midwives telling me to put my legs down as im wanting to curl in the fetus position for some reason .
with some painful pushes and some gas which i end up stopping as it only makes me feel like the ceiling is coming on top of me he arrives a chunky 9lbs 3 ozs not what we had expected as i wasnt that big 3rd time round !

he was so quiet and i panicked as he didnt make a noise he just looked around! squinting and he was born 8.05 pm xmas nite!

at least i got my xmas lunch and seen what santa had left for the kids

id i got the best present ever all though at first i was a tiny bit upset that he was born on chrissie day!http://photobucket.com/albums/y192/sav79/?Kynan only about 30 mins old
