*UPDATE*

Wow thank you so much everyone for your lovely comments!! My baby girl is called Mila and she’s doing fantastic, we were discharged the next day so we’re now at home and everyone is so in love!! I’m 19 and never thought I could cope with natural labour but your body takes over and it’s SO empowering for everybody involved! ❤️

Started wed morning with contractions, didn’t really think much just knew they were painful to sleep through.... at 10:15 I had a sweep with the midwife and immediately contractions got worse and I lost my mucus plug and then had a bloody show. Around 12 that night after walking and bouncing on my ball my contractions came every 5 mins lasting around 1 min... I called my MAU and they told me not to come in because I could speak..... 🙄 so all night I was labouring and barely got 2 hours sleep due to the pain, but I refused to ring the MAU again as they just pied me off completely so I fought through it... at my sweep I was 3cm and had a bulging sac of waters and my midwife even thought she would come with in 24 hours, so I was mortified to not be taken seriously but hey ho.... fast forward to around 6pm on the 3rd of May and SHIT WAS GETTING REAL, the pain started to make me double over in bed whilst my boyfriend obliviously was playing COD on the xbox with his little nephew, I get up and go downstairs and I tell his mum.... I think I’m pushing??? Now she thought I was joking as I don’t think anyone really believed how much pain I was in being a FTM etc, anyway fast forward 15 mins and I am dying!!!! I had taken myself to the toilet and sat there contracting when I felt like a pop and I instantly knew my waters had gone I am pushing and SCREAMING at the top of my lungs, those contractions are no joke!!!! But my boyfriends mother and him were a true gem and talked me through whilst on the phone to the ambulance, they arrived LITERALLY about an hour later as they were busy but my god they brought the gas and air and I was chewing the tip so hard it fell off!!😱😂 they got me on the ambulance and blue lighted me all the way to the hospital (30 mins away) and the whole time I was pushing and they tell me they see babies head and baring in mind I haven’t opened my eyes since being butt naked on a sofa in my boyfriend’s house I’m literally just feeling so much pressure it was so weird... we got on to the ward and I was taking straight into the delivery room I pushed once and out she came!!! Let me tell you though the pushing led to me needing 20+ stitches and the doctor to come and do them as it was that severe and I lost a tremendous amount of blood but I AM SO HAPPY!!!! 💗 she’s finally here at 40+5, anything is possible.... listen to your body!!! 💗❤️💗❤️💗
