I started my maternity leave on the 06 of November and was looking forward to having a few weeks to myself before baby arrived.
So when i woke on the 11th of November and i felt my waters go i was surprised. I was home alone so didnt know what to do. I text my h2b and said "I think we might be going to hospital today" he rang me then and rang my sisters to come up to me to make sure I was ok. I told h2b to stay in work as i had no pains. My sister made me go to her house and we went for long long walks to try bring on the pain, I even ran up a very steep hill lol. So anyway the h2b comes home from work at 12pm as he can no longer stay in work. At 6pm that evening after more walking and steaming hot bath and curry, we left for the hospital to be sure. I went up to the maternity floor where they brought me in to examine me. They said my waters were definatly gone but with no pains they would have to keep me in for observation, they also said I would be started during the night if nothing happened. My h2b slept in the car in the carpark that night inase anything happened, but nothing did. The next day the doctors were doing the round and told h2b to go home and get some rest that they would not be doing anything until later that day. He had only left the hospital when they brought me down to labour ward to put me on the drip. I rang h2b and he came straight back that was 2pm on the 12th of november. I got the epidural i thought it was the best thing in the world i couldnt handle the pain. H2b was in for a long night. At 11pm that night they decided they were gonna give me a section as the baby was starting to get distressed and my waters were gone 38 hours at that stage. But then they came back and said no.
At 6am the following morning i started pushing, they had to cut me open and use the vacuum to get my little man out. I was so so happy when i had him. He was born on friday the 13th 2009 at 6.53 am weighing 6 13
for later
