My first pregnancy

When i first found out i was pregnant me n my finance was over the moon ever tho i was quite young and still finishin my exam's at skl, i was so excited and glad, i was a lil shocked bcuz me n martin(finance) was plannin in a way but didnt think it wuld happen so quick as i was on the pill 4 3yrs and i only had 1 period n thn fell pregnant so was pretty quick reali lol. About 11 weeks into my pregnancy my sickness started which was everyday all day untill i had my baby, this is why i hated it. I felt sooooo ill all the time it was unbelieveable. There was 1 thing that i reali loved tho n tht was the baby moving, goin 4 me scans and seein the midwife.

Labor

With my first i was 10 days ova due, i went into hospital on the 20th feb 08 2 b induced, i was so excited tht i was gonna av my baby in my arms any time now. When i got 2 the ward i was waitin around 4 bwt 2 n half hours which reali annoyed me as i went in at half 6. When the doctor came 2 see me, he examined me n i wasnt even dilated at all i was sooooo annoyed the baby didnt want 2 cum out lol, after they examined me they put ths gel in side me to help me dilate n they sed if i wlked alot i wuld dilate quicker, so me n martin thought rite cum on lets wlk all round the hospital grounds n up n down the stairs, i did tht 4 6hrs as tht is wen they were gona check me ova agen, wen the time arrived the doctor examined me agen which was 3.00pm and sed i was only 4cms dilated so they put sum mre gel in me n then i did the same started wlkin around agen, ths time i was feelin the pain. My partner had 2 leave me at 10pm as there was not much happenin, even tho i wanted him 2 stay they wuldnt let him so i had 2 cope with all the pain on my own. As the night went thur i was experiencein reali reali bad pains, so i rang the buzzer n told the nurse and she gave me sum pain killers which didnt reali help, bwt 2hrs later they were gettin worse, so i rang the buzzer agen this time the nurse gave me sum pethdine, which helped me sleep 4 bwt 2-3hrs, n then wen i woke up i was seriously in pain so the nurse sed cum on n moved me in the labor room, she phoned my partner n he came running dwn the hospital, by ths time it was bwt 6.30am. The labor dragged and dragged i was on gas n air n i ended up avin the baby at 19.16pm weighin 6lbs 140z and was 49cm long. The midwife gave the baby to me n i had a quick look and gave her to my partner as i was soooooooo tied goin thur all tht pain 4 2days n i was scared just in case i dropped her, but all tht pain was worth it as i av got a gawjus baby gul and i love her mre thn nefin.
