birth stories :)

Just thought it would be abit interesting to hear peoples birth stories. :)

22nd November 2010 I had contractions at 3am... Me being silly thought 'Oh they aren't that bad' I'd had braxton hicks a week before and it felt the same.
11am they got abit worse, phone hospital, had a bath..
2pm went into hospital.. 4cm dilated ¬_¬
I had no family there as my family live in Germany and North Wales, the only relative close enough was my brother Kurt.
¬_¬
And so they called him and embaressingly my brother was there for the whole thing. haha.

23rd Novemeber 2010
9am 10cm dilated :)
30 minutes of pushing and my little girl was here 6lbs 5oz
My brother genuinly thought I'd broken his hand. haha

1pm my boyfriends parents got to the hospital form Ireland.
It was very emotional as he had died when I was 4 months pregnant.
The best day of my life so far I'd say :)

  • Awwww, can not imagine the pain u went thru loosing ur daughters daddy. But u sound like an amazingly mummy n u must be incredibly strong! Well done! U shud be soooo proud!
    My due date was 8th sept 2011 but my daughter decided she wasn't ready for another 13days! I was booked for induction on 21st sept at 8.30am but at 2am that mornin I started contractions but I thought they were braxton hicks so tried to go back to sleep lol. Called my bf at 7n said I dnt need induction n he picked me up we went to the hospital n at 8.30am I was 2cms.
    I went for a bath n walk round then started to be sick alot!
    At 7.30pm I was 7cm so was taken to delivery n after 10mins pushin my daughter was Born at 8 38pm weighing 7lbs 8oz. Best moment of my life! Had no pain relief. Alexa may is amazin! When she was born she swallowed alot of bloid n fluid so she was vomiting a fair bit for a week but we were sent home on 22nd sept. Alexa was born on, my cousins 21st! Xx
