Out of my 4 labours...i reckon 2 of mine have been pretty eventful....

BIRTH #2

Felt pains in the morning (4 days past EDD) , thought nothing of them, DH went to work. By 8am pains were stronger. Called DH - he a fireman, so had to re-arrange a backup. Pains fast and furious by 10am, but still thought i had plenty of time. Asked DH to put kettle on for a cuppa...i was in bedroom deciding what to wear, when my waters broke all over my bedroom floor. DH got car ready "i will be there in a sec' i yelled out. I thought i needed to go to loo and do a #2...on way to toilet i thought to myself...'you dont wanna do a poo, you wanna push your baby out'!!!. Ran to car, and yelled and screamed the whole way to the hospital. I yelled at DH at one stage to pull over (in the gutter) as i wanted to push baby out. He kept driving. Arrived at emergency dept. They wheeled me straight into theatre. Pumpkin patch skirt still on, knickers still on (for the time being...) and shoes still on. THey didnt know my name, they had no time to take me upstairs. Medical students working in emergency were allowed to look in - not very often do they get a birth in emergency i was later told. 2 pushes and DD#2 was out. SHoes and skirt still on .......i guess you could say we just made it.

BIRTH #3
16 Sept 2007 - DD#1 turned 4. We had her birthday party at mcdonalds. I wasnt due until 20 Sept with child #3. Day turned out well, party was fun. My family, DH family was there. Afterwards a few friends came back to our home to check out the new trampoline. My sister gave me a pedicure. In the middle of the pedicure i suddenly felt ill....i wanted to vomit, i also wanted everyone to leave. They did. Was in bed by 630pm - up again at 7pm for a vomit. Back to bed. Up again at 730pm for a vomit. Back in bed. 8pm DD#1 (the birthday girl) started vomitting. Im on bathroom floor vomitting. DH running inbetween. At 1am (still vomitting) i started to get contractions. Rang hossi, they said with all my vomitting, it has prob sent baby into labour. Decided the 5 loads of sheets me and daughter had just vomitted on could wait. We got to hossi about 3am. i was 7cm or something like that....whilst pushing i was also vomitting....DD was born 17 Sept at around 5am..found out later more than half of my family and DH family were up all night vomitting.....some bug we had caught at mcdonalds...needless to say we didnt have many visitors whilst in hospital....
