My Birth Story: Kayden Edward

On the 17th of january i woke up from the best sleep at 11 am and was busting for the toilet! as i was going to the toilet i realised i had my show, so i called my aunty and askedif she was busy and if she could please pick me up so i could spend the day at her house as i was home alone and just wanted to be safe incase it was time.

About an hour later she picked me up and i had really bad back pain so i just relaxed at her house, about 30 mins latertwe went shopping for a play gym and looking at capsules! i started having light contractions at about 10 mins apart so we went back to her house and they kept getting closer together so i called the hospital but they said call back when there 4-5 mins apart and not to eat anything incase of an emergency c-section. 5 mins later my aunty comes home with a large whopper meal from hj's lol so we all sat back and ate, thankgod i didnt need a c-section!! the rest of the day i was there and just relaxed.

At 7pm danny picked me up and took me home on the way home my contractions were getting more painful and closer together so we went home and he had dinner then we made our way down to the hospital, we got to the hospital at about 8pm.

I was put into the birthing suite and had an internal i was 3cm dialated. About 2 hours later they told me i should go home cause nothing was going to happen anytime soon! but of course stubburn me said no i wanna stay.. yes thats right ladies i wanted to stay in the hospital when they thought there was no point!

I then got into the shower and my contractions were getting more and more intense after about an hour in the shower, with a beautiful massage from my man, i got out and got into the bed.

At about 12.00 am, i asked for the gas but i was pulling on it so the tube kept popping out so i didnt get much at all.

It got to 12.45 and i told the midwife i need to push and she said no its not time and i said i need to push!! so she did an internal and i was fully dilated so she broke my waters. At 12.55 i started to push. it was such a relief being able to push through the contractions!

Then at 1.15am on the 18th of january kayden edward was born and placed on my chest, he was 7lb 3oz and 49cms long..

He was so beautiful that first look and hold was the most amazing feeling in the world! i could never imagine how amazing it feels before this day
