My April baby born 2 days before due date (here's my story)

Lexie

Had my membranes painfully swept at 39 + 3 was only 1cm with a high cervix and midwife believed the sweep wouldn't work. ...2 days later lost my mucus plug all throughout the day water broke at 10.30pm and now my baby is finally here March 30th at 39 weeks and 5 days weighing in at 7 pounds exactly. 1.40am I had my first contraction. All my contractions were in my back, severe pain coming 3 minutes apart my doctor came to examine me and I was only 1cm dilated I wanted to cry literally! I begged for painkiller and was given dehydrocodeine useless did me nothing then an injection of pethidine did nothing, by now I was pushing and pushing and more of my waters continued to pour out midwife decided to check me and by 6am I had shot straight to 10cm fully dilated! Time to push, 7 excruciating pushes later and she was out within 25 minutes!

That's my story ☺
