Ella`s birthstory

I woke up at 11am on my birthday and felt a leak, so i walked about a little and the leak kept leaking so i got a little scared and called Steven who then told me to call the hospital. The hospital told me to come in asap as it could be my waters.
then i started to get pains in my lower back which were getting stronger.
I arrived at the hospital around 12pm and was told to wait in the waiting room, so we sat and waited and the pain had moved from my back to my front (lower stomach) the pain was coming every 2 mins and lasting around 20 seconds so i knew it was a contraction as it was unlike any other pain iv ever felt in my life, i sat in the waiting room and cried everytime a contraction came.
Finally around 2pm i was seen and taken to the labour ward admissions room but they had no power haha so the midwife held my stomach while i was contracting but she said i was not contracting. i told steven that i definatley was and he was the only one who believed me.
Around 3pm I was taken to the labour ward as they had power and i was hooked up to the monitor, by this point i am really in pain as i was having contractions that were very long and very close together, the monitor said i was not contracting and the midwife said that i probably wouldnt have my baby today.
A doctor arrived and gave me an internal at around 3.15pm and it was soon discovered that i was 3cm dilated, finally they believed me that i was in labour, i they gave me diamorphine and steroids, as the baby was 5 weeks early.
When the drugs kicked in around 3.30pm i went to sleep as the midwife told me this stage of labour could take a while, and steven went home to sort a few things out.
At 4pm i woke up with a sudden urge to push, i pushed and looked around and noboday was there, i was soo scared so i shouted for my midwife and told her i needed to push, so she said ok then push.
I told her to quickly phone steven which she did, he arrived shortly after and after 46 minutes of pushing my gorgeous daughter was here.
I got no stitches, and only had a little tear.
Ella was taken to the Special care baby unit and remained there for 6 days, we spent a total of 8 days in hospital and are now home and well :)
