DS#1 came on his due date. I had show in toilet at 7 am I called DH at work which was so exciting. Then contractions like period pain started about 9am so I rang him back and he came home, I had a shower and strapped on TENS machine then strong contractions kicked in. I was at hospital by 11:30 and OB offered to break waters so I thought why not.
I got into bath with gas (very nice) and when I wanted to ask for drugs I was told I was 10cm so time to push so got out fo bath onto bed and pushed for 1 hr. Mason was born at 4:32pm.
DS#2 went 5 days overdue. I'd had a false labour on the Sunday so didn't get too excited when contractions started again on Tuesday at 2:30am. All day with niggly 5 min apart contractions so I went to bed at 9:30pm and woke up at 1hr later 10:30pm screaming lets go now! So we flew into hossie and I could barely walk. Midwife strapped me up to monitor and I was livid. Laying on back was too painful even with gas. I got into bath which felt much better. 20 mins later water broke and I wanted to push so had to get out of the bath. OB arrived as Angus was crowning and he was born at 12:32am (OB had ****y hair as I'd got him out of bed ha ha)
Was very lucky really as cord had a knot in it and it was around his neck 4 times. Lucky it was a really long cord. Hasn't put me off trying again though
