Most magical thing ever 🦄

I started having pains early hours Friday morning every 6-7 mins only little ones but I thought they were so bad to start (they get stronger so much stronger if only i knew then) I wanted to stick it out at home to start off with as I knew there was more chance of me getting an epi if I went into hospital early, the ball was my life saver I spent 24 hours constant on the ball, I still didn't feel as if they contractions were close enough to go into hospital I stuck it through yet another pain enduring night at home, I was in complete agony by 8 am Sunday morning I thought that was time every 4 minutes apart lasting a minute I thought I was due to drop her out of my v any time (how wrong was I) we loaded the car with my hospital bags put her blanket in her Moses basket ready for when we were to come home with our daughter, I got to the hospital at 9.15 they examined me and I was only dilated to 2 cm😓 I broke my little heart they sent us home, I had survived 2 whole nights and 2 whole days now with no sleep no food as I was sick an awful lot and couldn't keep anything down. Plenty of hot baths every 2-4 hours bouncing on the ball and laps up and down my stairs by 6.30am Monday morning I knew it was time now the contractions were still lasting 1 minute and every 4 minutes on the dot I was absolutely exhausted between each contraction I would have a sip of water and rest my eyes for a short short while, we yet again loaded the car and got everything ready for our princess to come home and headed to the hospital I got there and I was in complete agony I needed some form of pain relief I had my mind set on getting an epidural from the car journey to the hospital I needed some time to chill and maybe rest my eyes I didn't realise labour would be this long and exhausting. They examined me at 9.30 and I was 5cm finally all this pain had paid off, they took me over to the birthing suit and gave me a bottle of gas and air I don't know what it was but from that moment onwards I had a sudden boost of energy, I was in control of my body I was in a hospital safe with a fully trained midwife my mother and of course my very supportive partner and I was about to do the most amazing thing in the whole entire world I was about to birth an actual human being. I breathed through each and every contraction rocking back and forth on my feet the whole time I couldn't sit down now bare in mind I hadn't ate in 3 whole days I hadn't had sleep in 3 whole days but I still had the willpower and energy to plow through at 2.30 pm they examined me again I was progressing I was 7cm with bulging waters my whole heart skipped a beat, I knew there was only 3 cm to go and this will all be over with and I will finally get to push and birth my special little princess. I continued to suck on the gas and breath through those contractions, in through the nose out through the mouth focus on the breathing. At 16.45 I felt the need to go number 2 I went to the toilet and obviously nothing came out I was actually fully dilated and ready to birth my daughter, from that moment onwards I hit the wall and started demanding an epidural, a c-section I really needed this pain to go away and wanted this baby out j had a complete meltdown through fear and pain the midwife and my mother lead me to the bed and as I was about to get onto the bed my waters went gush like from a movie it hit the floor and splashes everywhere (gross I know) I was laid on the bed and I felt the urge to push ( started screaming at my other half telling him it's his fault and he's having the snip) made the midwife laugh anyway😂 after 4 massive pushes and a lot of pain I'm not goin to lie sucking on that gas and my daughter was born she was absolutely perfect that pain went away instantly and I had a instant rush of love at 17.02 on the 6/11/17 my little princess entered the world at 5lb 15oz a tiny little bundle of joy. After 3 days in pain no sleep no food and no time to even have a breather through all the pain I was finally a mammy to such a special little girl who everyone loves so much and I done it all natural with abit of gas an air I only had 2 little grazes aswell. At 21.30 we were discharged from hospital and we spent the night in our home as a family of 3 with no further problems I was able to do everything for my daughter💗 obviously every Brith is different but if medically able I urge you not to go for that epidural even know it will enter your head so many times, you will thank yourself after I hope you have such an magical birth because it surely is a once in a lifetime experience that you will treasure forever 💗💗💗
