Hey all!
6am yesterday I had a strong pain and went to the toilet, lost some fluid and plug.
Hopped in shower, informed other half of events, so he hopped in shower with me to make sure I was OK.
Rang the midwife, told them I'd be in after breakfast, and meandered downstairs and made some scrambled eggs on toast to keep us going.
From 6-7:30 I had 4 contractions, each stronger than the last.
8:30 I was having more and more, and when swabbed and checked, I was 4cm!
8:30-12:00 I managed to get through a contraction every 2-3 min, some lasting 2 min or more.
Could not sit or lie, had 3 puffs of gas and apparently made a face akin to that of Puss in Boots as I nearly vomited.
Sitting made contractions 3x worse, so when the epi went in at 12:45, the contractions were the worst and longest.
And I had to sit down and not move at all during 3 of the worst and longest. The effort not to move or bear down made me shake violently everywhere except my back, and the effort had sweat pouring off like a bucket of water had been poured over me.
After the epi was in, I was examined, and I'd been at full dilation for at least an hr!
I told my midwives I wanted to bear down, so I did, and she moved 5cm down!
It didn't feel right, and the contractions had eased, so I stopped an hr, and waited for the contractions again, as I could feel a part of my tailbone area didn't numb.
An hr later, we decided to feel for contractions, and time pushes to those, I shocked the Midwives because I can bear down and talk or draw breath at the same time.
Look on their faces when they realized what I was doing was bloody priceless, and I started laughing at them, whilst still bearing down and it compounded it even more!
Delivery took 20min because I didn't want to tear so I took my time, and then she was born!
Nikita Mikaela was born at 3:46pm AEST, 50cm, 3.485kg, on 6th December 2013.
First I had her daddy and the world looked brighter, now I have both of them and my world is complete.
