I was in labour for over 40 hours.!
I was due in the 1st of June and when I say I was huge I mean HUGE! My waters broke on the 2nd June at 5am and contractions came on painfully strait away. My SO thought I'd wet the bed and was in the middle of changing the bed sheets when i fell on the floor in pain. No matter what I did I couldn't get comfortable, so I ended up standing over a towel naked eating an ice lolly 😂 we called up the hospital, and they said wait a few hours and come in. When we got there I was given diamorphine and i fell strait to sleep. The pain for me was unbearable! I ended up having diamorphine, gas and air, epidural and paracetamol. I wanted everything to just help me get through this pain! I lost so much blood that they put me on a drip and had me on 24 hour supervision and then because my little one still hadn't decided to show up we was at risk of infection! 45 hours later and my little girl was here, she was perfect! But we had to stay in an extra 3 days because we both had possible septicaemia 😔 when i went through childbirth I thought this was all extremely normal and when I tell people my story they just look at me really strange haha. Honestly this hasn't put me off having another baby though ! I'd do it all again for my little one!
