After being in slow labour for over a week my baby FINALLY arrived!

I was having contractions every 10 mins from midday on the 10th, they started increasing to every 4-5 minutes from 4:30pm. I had wanted a home birth and so the midwife came out at 6pm and sent me to the hospital for high blood pressure. The dr didn’t want to send me home as blood pressure didn’t come down. Moved to labour ward in the hospital at 11, at 1am I told Gary I needed to push and he was born at twenty past! I’d been checked at 9pm and was only 2cm so I was in shock when she came in and checked me to say she could see the head?! He arrived after a few pushes naturally with only gas and air.
