I was told that I would need to be induced 1 day after my due date due to High BP issues. So I was all geared up to not having the baby till then.
We were in the midst of finishing the kitchen reno (totally NOT my idea being heavily pregnant.) I had felt off colour all day, but thought it was because of the tradies tracking in and out etc. DH is a paramedic and was on night shift, so I sent him off saying that I would be fine. I just lay down on the couch to enjoy some ice cream, and I felt this warm feeling. Anyway up I jump and my waters had broken. They were a dark green colour, so the first thing I did was call the hospy, who told me that I would have to come straight in and not wait for DH, as I would need monitoring. So I called my Aunt who lived around the corner and arranged for her to come and get me. then I called DH. He actually made in to the hospital quicker than me, as he was still on duty and was in his ambulance in the area. Shows that you can drive fast when you are in an ambulance!!! My Aunt then gave him a lift home once I was all settled and he got changed and came back. 4 hours later we had our DS.
