Omg with baby no3 we just about made it to a room! I had my daughter in the delivery room standing over the bed, No pain relief there wasn't time , i got to the hospital at 5.30am I was booked in 5.55am my waters broke, then she came at 6am - Honestly it was soo quick i couldn't believe it x
My third came so fast, I also had an unplanned home birth with no medical assistance apart from over a phone call. I’m pregnant with number 4, and have opted for a home birth again to be safe and as strongly advised by the midwives. Each of my births have got quicker and quicker with labour. 12hrs, 6hrs and just over 1hr. I would definitely prepare that there is another chance of your home birth happening again. :)
Following as I’m also expecting my 3rd so interested to hear others stories - especially as I went into spontaneous labour and PROM at 32 weeks without my other two xxx
@Louise awww bless you I'm prom at 22wks with my middle one he was born at 24wks, so o feel your pain!! He will be 3 in March! My recent bababy even at 21wks my cervix started to widen so I had a stitch , stayed in till 37wks and I had her 39 - It was sooo odd with my eldest boys I was induced both times, with my daughter it was an experience feeling everything lol xx
Mine was the best of the 3! No assistance (cutting or instruments) She was in a funny position with her hands over her head so we were in hospital waiting for an induction anyway but labour started spontaneously and I quite enjoyed it. I'd done a bit of reading into hypnobirthing and breathing techniques and managed with just a tens machine until my waters were broken, then I went from 3cm to 9cm in 15 mins and had some gas and air and pushed her out 😊
