Thomas' birth story!

Hiya everyone! have 2 hands free now so can type a bit better lol!
Just had a few cups of tea lol!
Thomas is doing well - Charlotte Adores him!
Everything went pretty well. I ended up in hospital sunday afternoon thinking my waters had gone as i felt a pop and had a huge gush - but when i got there they said it wasnt my waters - possibly my hind waters - but by time i got to hospital contractions were 10mins apart - by time i got seen too and was being sent home at 10pm they were every 4 mins! Got told not to come bk until they were very 2-3mins which they were by time we got home - managed to get to about 1:30am then i was screaming at DF that i needed pain relief!
Got to hospital about 2am and was 6cm and was given a delivery room straight away - asked for an epidural by time that was starting to be given i was 8cm and it didnt work - was ready to push by 9cm and couldnt stop myself! MW helped me trhough but pleased to say even though i asked for it - bcoz the epidural didnt work i had no pain relief at all - not even gas and air! just squeezed on dfs hand and breathed through lol!
Thomas was born at 5:48am - he had the cord wrapped round his neck and had passed meconium so had to stay on for 24hr for obs but apart from that and the fact i lost a lot of blood eerything was fine - we paid to have a private room which made me feel a lot mor comfortable! thomas' obs all came back clear and we were free to go home yesterday after he had his BCG
