TMI Malcolm David

Deirdre
I started having regular contractions around 7 am, during breakfast. By nine they were 2 1/2 -3 minutes apart. My midwife told me to come one in. Once I got there, I was 5cm for three hours. I stalled. Midwife gave me options of pitocin, going home, breaking water or medication so I could sleep. I chose breaking water. Once that happened, 2:30, I was in full on active labor. I opted for nitrous pain relief. Gotta tell you, that's amazing stuff! I kept that thing on my face for the majority of my remaining labor. Time passed so fast! Around 10 past 6, I felt myself pushing. I could hear the nurse say, got into position Kevin!! My midwife was barely through the door when the baby fell into my husband's hands. Then onto my chest.
