Default gave birth in bathroom on my own


HI IM 19. im new on here, i thought i would share my story! it was the 20th december 2007 at 22:30 when i started to feel twinges, but being a first time mum i wasnt to sure what was going on. i got home and layed in bed but knew something wasnt right as i had felt odd for a couple of days! the cramps got worse so i knocked on my landladys door who happens to be 71. i told her i needed the phone in my room as i thought something could be happening. i went to the bathroom at 1.30 am 21st december{my due date} an my waters went with a gush. i phoned up my local birthing centre as it was where i was expecting to deliver. she told me to have a warm bath an take some paracetamol as i thought my contractions were irregular, i now realise i couldnt time them because they were constant. i was sick 2 times whilst speakin to the midwife on the phone. my landlady ran me a bath. i got in out in out in out .... i couldnt stay still or breathe for that matter! i got out for a final time and was bending over the back of the toilet when i told my landlady to phone another hospital because i couldnt handle the pain! i could hear her talking on the phone when everything went blurrey an i felt myself pushing without even meaning to.a strange sensation went through my body i felt my babys head i shouted "the babys coming"! "what now"?! she replied i said yes she ran in with towels by the time she came in i was holding him,! he was blueish and wasnt crying so i picked him up an flicked him like i have seen on tv. he cried an i held my baby boy for the first time! it was amazing! even though i had to wait 10minutes for an ambulance and an hour for a midwife to arrive... it was still the best day of my life!!!!

cos apparently it was a busy weekend for babys arriving. Anyway the midwife did a sweep at 11am and said i was 2cm. By the time 9pm was ere i was in agony rang them about 10ish cos i couldnt stand bein at home cos i knew it was v close with my contractions bein 4/5mins apart but the midwife said to stay at home till they were 3mins apart and i had plenty of time! And it didnt help that the midwife who done the sweep didnt put any notes on the computer so she didnt no i was 2cm at that time! Rang back at 10.30 as they were 2/3mins apart said i couldnt take it any more and i was gettin quite emotional cos i didnt want my baby bein born at home incase anythin went wrong so she finally let me make my way in...even tho i could barely walk n got there n changed by 11.40pm n she was here by 12.20am!

Thats a story and a half aint it lol?!

its really nothing to worry about u no, yes it hurts some people more than others but just think of it this way: if it was really that horrific why do people go on to have more than one! All i kept thinkin is after every pain im that much closer to meetin her!

Yeah it isn't as bad as i expected! Just think of all the babys that have been born throughout the world and they keep on coming, it can't be that bad really.
