Yay! Our green baby is Pink!!!! 2nd baby girl in the family.

Super quick labour( in comparison to previous induction). I think I had the the first contraction at around 6:30, they were pretty short so I wasn’t sure I was in labour. Went about my business, put toddler to bed. At around 10 I was thinking it was probably labour, contraction we’re still pretty short maybe 30 seconds but 4-5 minutes apart. Got to the hospital at midnight, they checked me and said we might send you home, but then I was very soft although not much dilation, but she said I could stay. From then on, things got intense very quickly. I wanted to try a water birth and so they filled the pool. I was in there for a few contraction before they became super intense. I could not believe how intense they were so quickly.

Soon the midwife came and said that she thought I was progressing quickly and I would soon have my baby. It was so intense but so amazing at the same time. Don’t remember how many pushes, but baby girl was born at 2:28 am and I pulled her out of the water into my chest. Such an amazing birth experience! Could not be happier with how everything went! Now I just need to decide on a name!!! I was 40+1. Had sex this afternoon and have been drinking lots of raspberry leaf tea. Definitely think it helped with contraction. Good luck to all the ladies still waiting for their babes!
