Birth story born in bathroom at hospital
On December 14th at 5am I started to get
Contractions, I didn’t wanna wake my boyfriend cause I wasn’t sure if it was real! I kept going to the washroom! At 6am I decided to wake my boyfriend and get him to run me a bath so I could labour in the bath. My contractions were very irregular but getting stronger, my boyfriend came in to the bathroom to check on me, and I was having a very bad contraction he said you either call your midwife or I call an ambulance or we go to the hospital we literally live 4 houses down from the hospital! So I got out of the tub and got dressed and we went to the hospital we got to the hospital at 730am I walked from the parking lot to the hospital! Once I got up stairs they checked me and I was 8cms dilated! We got me to the delivery room and everything happened very quick! After contracting for a few hours which didn’t feel like an hour even! I laid in the bed cause at this point I couldn’t do it anymore and wanted an epidural (which I didn’t end up getting) they hooked me up to Iv and gave me a medicine to get me relaxed! My body wanted to push they kept telling me no no which obvi I couldn’t not do it, it wasn’t me doing it! So the doctor came in with my epidural and checked my cervix and said it’s time to push so I didn’t get the epidural I was on the bed for maybe 30 mins if that! My midwife wanted me to sit on the toliet cause it opens everything wider I pushed 3 times in one contraction and her head was there, they said we have to get you back to the bed i said there is no getting me back there she’s coming they laid me on the floor I pushed 3 times in one contraction and my baby girl was here!, unfortunately after that I had a lot of complications I was hemorrhaging and lost a lot of blood because I was a tiny girl and delivered my first baby very fast and she was 9lbs 7oz
