Continued...In the space of 2 minutes I was now 5cm dilated and the midwifes were worried. After a lot of nurses/midwifes rushed around me, poked and prodded, I was told I would be going in for an emergency C-Section as they didn't think she'd make it if i delivered her naturally. I was taken to theatre and was put out cold because of the severity of the situation and how quickly they needed to get her out - the spinal/epidural would have taken too long to get working.I woke up around 8:45-09:00 and was a little dazed. My grandmother and partner sat there, and I couldn't help but smile. He already had her in his arms and was smiling down at her. She was born at 08:15 that morning, weighing 5lbs 11 & 1/2 oz and 48cm long. I nursed her as soon as I could with the help from my partner and I was happy, we were both still here and perfectly healthy.She's now a healthy 5 week old and I'm still grateful she's here in my arms💕

I was due on 6th January. My waters broke at 03:30 on the 6th. I had back pain for 2 days prior to this but didn't think anything of it. I called my midwife and she told me to come in for a check over. I went in, they said I wasn't dilated any, and as I wasn't having contractions to go home and call when my contractions were close together.I carried on my day as normal, and then tried to sleep on the evening of the 6th. Whilst I lay there, I could tell something was happening. I could tell I was having contractions and couldn't sleep. I told my other half to stay in bed and I would come wake him if they got any worse.Anyway, I was up all night and finally I knew it was time. At 06:30 on the 7th, we went to the hospital after calling my SO's sister to take us there.We arrived and was shown to a room, and they took my details and went to go get things sorted. My contractions were getting worse by the minute. By the time they came back (10-15 mins at most) I was doubled over in pain. Apparently I was having 'back labour' and had probably been in labour since my back pain started (this would now be the 4th day). Well they checked me over and I was 1cm dilated. Due to my waters breaking over 24 hours before this (it's now about 07:45) I had to have my baby monitored to see how she was coping and to make sure she wasn't distressed. They struggled to find her heartbeat, and after hearing it perfectly fine the day before when my waters broke I was distraught.Continued...
