Jade
So it all started Saturday morning I thought to myself this little person has been very quiet over night n this morning so I decided to phone the midwife they told me to come in just tonne save me and my OH get 2 outter the 3 children ready and make a move finally we get to the hospital which is only 6mins away but with a 2 1/2 year old n a 7yr old daughter and OH that basically moves backwards takes a lot longer to get anywhere I get put on the monitor and they seem happy but the midwife just wanted to double check with the doctor she comes back n says they want to induce me if I'm happy with that I smile as I'm sick n tired of wondering wether I'm having another little boy or girl so they give me a sweep and tell me it's good news as I'm 1cm they can just break my waters I don't need to be induced as such so they finally get round to breaking breaking my waters n guess baby wasn't too happy as it had pooed on side me as soon as I saw how green my waters where I started to panic n shaking because I know how bad it can be so I had to be hooked up to the machine to keep an eye on the baby when they next examined me @ 4pm I was 2cm they wasn't very happy with this so they told me I had to have the hormone drip at this stage I'm ok the pains are niggles nothing serious but in the space of time it took for them to sort the drip the pain kicked up a step n I was on the gas n air they stabbed me 3times before they could finally get a vein they said I have goods Ines there just very deep! It killed! This hormone works so fast because it picked up my labour very fast I was having contractions thick n fast very very painful but as I wanted to go natural I kept refusing any pain killers another 4hours pass and I'm in AGONY literally climbing over the back of the bed my OH is trying to keep me focused but all I can think about is the baby trying to break it's way out of my body lol it's now 8pm n the midwife checks me again and she tells me I'm still 2cm!! Let me just add the time is 9.27pm I said no way no she's wrong I'm not a wimp I've had 3 other children and this pain is in a different league I'm saying to my OH I can't do this I'm gona die somebody help me as I'm there in complete agony I tell the midwife I need to push she's telling me you can't your 2cm but my body takes over then all of a sudden the midwife is screaming at me to lay down as blood is pouring from me but I'm in a different place right now I can't focus my OH is trying to turn me over and the midwife runs to push the emergency button as they all rush in and try n hold me Down I'm screaming omg get me and epidural they say it's gona take time so then I'm like get me a pethadin (sorry don't know how to spell it) there still all telling me not to push them all of a sudden there's a head as they push the injection in out pops my perfect baby girl 👑 she was born at 9.31pm, I asked the midwife how long was my established labour was she told me 4mins!! But all in all I was in pain pain for 4 hours n started contracting from 9hours it was crazy but 100% worth it!! I am now blessed with 2 perfect boys and 2 perfect girls 💙💗💙💗
