7am ring my mum as i think i've had a contraction

7:15am ring husband to get home from work, the pain was soo intense

7:45 ring hospital as i am bleeding (bled heavily with my first, they said it was because his labour was quick.) They tell me to head to local birth centre who will assess me & send me in ambulance to hosp an hour away.

8:10 arrive at birth centre where my mum & a midwife drag me down the corridoor to a delivery room, whilst husband parks the car. Pull my trousers down & midwife says your not going anywhere i can feel babys head. They lay me down & she tells me to take 1 deep breath & relax my shoulders & his head is out, followed a minute later by his body.
