this 1 has to b the funniest of all i have yet another baby girl jessica who is now 20 months. On the 10th october my friend had called in the evening and we ended up sitting chatting until 3 in the morning my hubby had went on to bed as he was working at 7 the next morning. so after my friend went home i was feeling a bit sore and uncomfortable and went for a bath , i cudnt get comfy in it either so got back out and made myself a cup of tea i texted my friends and told her i thot i was in labour and did she fancy running me to hospital but she was sleeping so i just walked round the house. by 6am just as my hubby was getting up for work i told him i was in labour and in quite a lot of pain we cudnt decide weather he should go to work or not but in the end i decided i needed to go to hospital so he went and collected my niece to sit with my other kids. we arrived at the hospital were i was asked wot pain relief i wanted i laughed and said an epidural so midwife examined me and to her disbelief i was 9cms dilated. No time for an epidural i was wheeled straight down to delivery suite and my daughter was born 2mins to 7 so i had no pain relief and it brillent was completely aware of everything going on around me and was able to get up and get showered etc as soon as i was back on ward. i wud recommend a natural birth to any1 who asked now
