Morgan-Ivan`s birthstory

Briefly~ After being 14 days over I was induced :(
I was lucky that I only need the gel applied once. 2 hours later things started. It took 5 hours to dialate 5 cm & other 5 for the full 10cm. The contractions were intense but bearable. I was using a labour Tens machine from the start of the cramps & all the way to the end. I used the gas on 20% for the last 4 hour hours :) the 2 together worked brilliantly for me. I found the pushing stage the demanding as you body just takes over, I had only 3 hours of pushing however it only felt like an hour... With the labour lasting 13 hours 12 mins, it did not feel like it, I didnt get the burning feeling that people talk about with bubs is crowning. I feeling my babies head pop out, then his shoulder was fantastic.. The whole labour experience for me was NO WHERE near as bad as i thought is would be... I had many plans for my labour, pressure point thereapy, heat pack,lavender iol burning & music.. None of these came into play I didnt need them & was happy for the room to be silent.. My husband said I was focused & in my own space/ world. I didnt mind if I was touched me, but not there was a limit.
I will go back again :) There is nothing like holding your bub for the first time looking at the little face..
