Im home :)

baby jay born 02.02.05 at 01:24am. Weighing 5 pounds 12 ounces.
4 weeks early, 1 week premature. Slightly jaundice.
She was born 22 hours after my waters broke.

I dont know when my contractions started, because what I thought were my contractions, the doctors said wernt, so I thought thwy were just cramps instead. But they turned out to be my contractions.

I went back into hosiptal at 8pm on tuesday, with contractions, not regular, coming 5 mins then 12 mins then 2 mins etc apart, so the doctors didnt know I was in labour. And being my first, I didnt know what to expect with labour.
And they didnt check to see how dialated I was.

I had about 6 really really really painful contractions, before I threw the belt things off from round my stomach and waddled to the toilet thinking I was gonna poop myself. Turns out that jay was coming down the birth canal.
I nearly delivered her myself in the toilet.
The doctors came running in after I rang the call buzzer, and she was crowning. So they asked me if I could walk too the labour ward...
I was like eh?? I have the top of a babys head sticking outta me, and u want me to walk???
So they wheeled my bed in, and took me to labour ward.

By the time I got too labour ward, my contractions had pushed most her head out. I was asked to push once, and pushed her head out, they told me not to push, just as I was having another contraction, and the contraction pushed her the rest of the way out.

I was in active labour for no more than 3 hours, or at least thats what im thinking, because my contractions wernt really painful until the last hour.
And the doctors cant tell me, because they kept telling me I wasent in labour, and they never checked too see if I had dialated at all.

I had no pain relief in labour, since I didnt know I was in labour. But I had the gas when they gave me my one stitch.

I will post pictures of me and jay when garry sends them from his comp to mine, coz I not got a free usb port to d/l them onto my comp.

Sorry my story is a lil confusing, but u can imagine how confused I was, being told I wasnt in labour, then giving birth.
