Birth story 
Hey girls, thanks for all your lovely messages.
Well, here we go, I went for a hot bath at 10.30pm on Wednesday night because I was feeling a bit down and needed to relax for a while. Went to bed at 11.30pm and I started getting a lot of pressure in my bum so I attempted to ignore it for a while but by 12am it was getting to much and I thought I needed to give birth. Phoned the hospital and the midwife wasn't too sure if I was in labour or not but thought it was best for me to get checked out.
Me and my bf got there before half 12.30am, had all the usual checks, bp, urine etc. Everything was fine, the midwife checked my cervix at 1.30am and I was 4 cm dilated. Then the midwife informed me I was defo getting contractions (didn't have them with my son so I had no idea lol). Baby was back to back and that's why I was getting the urge to push so early on. At half 2 my mum arrived and by 3.30am I was in agony (I'm such a pansy lol) so I had some lovely gas and air, sometime later on I had dia-morphine as the gas and air wasn't enough. The midwife checked me again at 6am and I was 6cm dilated. By now the midwife was trying to get me to lie on my side to encourage the baby to move position. Anyway at 8.57am my beautiful daughter entered the world after 9 ish hours of labour and 27 mins of pushing weighing 8lb 6oz. I didn't need stitches and got away with just some grazing.
She is perfect but has positional talipes in her right foot so I have to do some physio exercises with her foot every nappy change. I have to see my gp about Lily's leg being different too, seems to be positioned differently but finger's crossed that it will be nothing.
Sorry if I was rambling there. lol
Love Toni, Rhys (17months) and Lily (2days) x x x
