well after all them posts about what i could do to get my lil princess to make her arrival i ended up not needing to do much lol..
Tuesday just went i had an appointment with the Mw's so i got up in the morning and made my way to the hossy but noticed on the way i was getting some really bad cramping and alot of it in my back.. by the time i got there and seen the midwife i was really feeling like crap.. i burst into tears when i seen my midwife n she said she will have a look and see what going on just in case something is starting,, so she did and then told me i was 3cm dialated YAYYY

lol
she did a s&s and said just go home relax n see what happens but that day was our Eid like a christmas thing in islam so i went to my Il'S and what do u know.. THEY STOPPED!!
everything just went blank no more pains nothing..

wasnt happy at all!!!
i rang them after i started getting a show and having lil dribbles down my leg.. not knowing that it was my waters,. they told me to go in and get checked n to see if it was my waters but they didnt think so..
so i went in they looked at the pad n said yep go up stairs and get monitored so yippeee it was my waters but i knew i was abit stuffed cause same situation as my ds waters broke but no labour

so i went in they monitored n said i was having mini contractions but nothing regular..
thinking they were gonna send me home i started getting frustrated i was sooo exhausted after having contractions all day stopping and starting n just emotional thinking i was gonna be left a mess..
the Mw came in and said that normally when the waters break they do swabs n send u home if nothing happens they will induce the next day,,
BUT they already had 6 ppl being induced on wednesday so i looked at her n started crying..
then she said oh darl its ok we gonna do u today lol wahooooooo

she told me i still had a lil bag of waters that she will break n give me an hr if nothing moves along then i would be induced to get the bubba to come..
so after 5 hrs of waiting n nothing happening she came in broke the lil waters at 7.30pm n what do u know 10 min later they were rolling in i thought inductions where bad (not personally) but these were sooo strong n thick i didnt even have time to breathe properly at 8.45pm i needed to push the Mw couldnt believe it,, she thought i was joking but i started n she realised the head was right there.. 3 pushes n there she was....

once her head was out i pushed the top of the shoulders out n the Mw told me "grab her hun" n i was like "WAT!!" she's like quickly so i grabbed her n pulled her out n up too me..
I delivered my lil princess!! my dh was there but nearly passing out his not good with blood etc lol so i let him stand behind me n look whenever he could..

i cut her cord n looked at her she was soooo beautiful!!! i loved her instantly!!

Amali was weighed in at 3040 g n 48.5cm
im breast feeding which is a big YAYYY for me i normally dont have much success but she is taking to it wonderfully...
she got checked today by the mw at home service n she has only lost 90 g since birth which i have been told is fantastic!!
I would like to say THANK U ALLLLLLLLLLLL!!! u all played such a big role in my lil girls much anticipated arrival through out my pregnancy anything i have asked i have got soo much excellent advise n any whinge i wanted to share u all listened with open hearts n minds...
big big big big big HUGSSSSSSSSSS to alll n everyone of u!!!
