Hello Ladies.

A very dazed 3onitsway here.

I last posted last night around 8.30 looking for news from Rmac - and mentioned i'd had niggly tightenings every 15 ish minutes but wasn't getting excited as i'd had them for a few nights now.

Anyway, i tried to go to bed about nine, but the pain woke me up every 10 minutes til around midnight - still niggly and not too painful.

Decided to get up and have a bath to see if that eased it, stayed in the bath til about half one, still niggly, not too bad.

Got out of the bath and they got more painful.

Phoned hospital for advice around 2.30 for advice - they said to come up and they'd check me over - so phoned mum to come and look after DS and DD, who were tucked up in bed.

I don't know why, but I was expecting to get to hospital and for them to tell me to bu66er off home and stop being dramatic!

Mum arrived, and off we went to the hospital, pains every 6 minutes on the way there, getting more painful, we arrived at 3.20am.

Got into hospital, they put monitor on tummy, and examined me to see what was happening - I was 9cm dilated :eek: .

Gas and air was given to me, and four painful pushes later, my beautiful little girl arrived at 4.02am, weighing 6lb 12 1/2oz.

It all happened too fast for the water birth i'd wanted - but it was still amazing, and i'm so proud of myself for doing it with just gas and air!

Baby and me were checked over and discharged - home by 6.30am. Driving home was surreal - we were looking at each other saying three hours ago, we were driving to the hospital, now we're driving home with a baby.

DD's face was a picture when she got up at around 8, and came downstairs to find a little sister in the living room! She asked 'who's is that?'!

Baby is as yet unamed - I think we've narrowed it down to two.
Name and photos to follow.

I'm just soooo glad I didn't convince myself I was being dramatic and decide to stay at home for another half hour!!

Baby is either Violet or Sam - we can't decide which she looks like.
