DD2 was only 37 minutes You could say I was a little shell shocked but strangely high too. I spoke A LOT to my midwives over the four days after her birth to sort out my head. It helped a lot.

We knew DD2 was on her way as my waters broke at home but contractions didn't start until almost 2 hours later and they were on top of each other within 10-15 minutes so it felt like I went from nothing to almost transition so quickly! I felt like I didn't get time to adjust to the pain at all, cause I guess I didn't, lol. I had about 15 minutes of contractions before I went into my zone, as my DH and sister call it, with my eyes closed and moaning and didn't really open my eyes again (bar to sight my OB) until I started pushing. It was certainly strange, shocking, painful, too fast but extremely amazing too.

I was the talk of the ward too so I had a lot of middies pop in to visit me, the 37 minute labour mum. Lol
