Birth story
My water broke at 8.30pm wednesday the 7th of september. I went to the hospital after having a light meal and was put into a room until about 1am. I was getting painless xontractions and was sent home untill they either became regular and painful or untill 3.00 the next day. I went back in with regular contractions at about 11 the next morning. I was sent home that night again. I rang the hospital early hours the next morning and was told not to come back in yet. I decided after a couple of hours to go in anyway. They put me into a room and decided that I did actually need to be there and was in full labor. They gave me some morphine and the gas and some water injections that were supposed to help my back pain as she had her spine with mine.(i would not suggest these to anybody they are ouchy)They also put me on a drip to hurry things along. I was almost fully dialated by about 3.00 when the doctor came in to see what was going on he realised that my cervix jad tightened back to 6 cm. I was sent for an emergency cessarian and given an epidural. My baby was born with an infectionat 5.18 and had to spend a week in nicu but she is now at home and healthy. Lesson learnt, if your waters break dont let them send you home as it may cause an infection.
