Waters broke 2am Monday.
Went to hospital at 8am Tuesday morning after Donna spent much of Monday evening and night in pain.
Midwife advised us to go home as nothing was happening, so instead of spending the next 8 hours in hospital, go home and come back later on. Went home 1cm dilated.
Went back to hospital at 4.30pm where she was 5cm dilated.
Then contractions got worse, medication level increased and what followed was the longest night ever. By 12midnight on 16th Jan she was pushing. Then at 2.07am, somehow, she came out and made us all very very happy. What a rewarding job being a midwife must be.
