on the 15th Feb my waters broke at 12noon, I couldn't believe how much there was they were going for hours. I had no contractions though so at 4pm we went to the hospital just to get checked out and to book an induction. The induction was booked 10.30am the following day but we didn't make it that far. At 8pm I started getting my contractions, they were nothing like the ones I had with the false labours these seriously hurt! I only left it for about half hour before phoning the labour ward, I was told to go in. The trip down the motorway was interesting to say the least.
We got to the hospital at about 9pm and was given gas and air fairly quickly, and moved into the delivery suite. at about 11pm I was given the option of the birthing pool which was what I wanted so managed to walk along the corridor just about making it before screaming out in pain as I wasn't able to use my gas and air whilst changing room. Once I got in the pool I felt a lot more relaxed so much so that in between contractions Tony had to keep my head above the water, Tony also said at one point you're going to want one of these at home now aren't you, my response was a very big nod.
After 4 and a half hours of labour I gave birth to our gorgeous baby boy who we've named Jonathan Antony. he weighed 6lb 13 and was born at 0038 16th February.
Tony is already an amazing Daddy, we came home yesterday and we will go for a walk to the corner shop this afternoon.
