Mummy2t has baby on kitchen floor!!!!!!!!!!!

(27 Posts)
Bit late posting birth story but here goes.

Isabelle May arrived on the 29/9/09 at 1.24am weighing 7lb 15oz.

At just before midnight i was experiencing Bh's, thought nothing of it as i have been having these sice 27ish weeks. Couldnt get comfy in bed so decided to have a bath. Bath didnt make Bh' go away so i woke DH and said something might be happening but as i wasnt having contractions and my waters hadnt gone there was no panic. We went downstairs and at 1am my waters went. phoned my SIL as she was coming over to stay and look after the 2 boys. still no pains so i went to sort out the blow up bed for SIL. She arrived at about 1.20am and we decided to make our way to hospital as other dc's were quite quick. i thought they would just check me and send me home. Went for a quick pee before setting off and had the sensation that baby was coming, i managed to get off the loo just before her head was born. i called my DH to ring for an amblulance and made my way out to the kitchen where luckily my SIL had dumped all her bedding. i got on it and delivered my beautiful daughter myself. Paramedics arrived 15mins later where i had to transfer to hospital to deliver the placenta as no midwifes were available to come out. was only gone 1 1/2 hours and i was home again, just in time for the boys waking up!
Definately the most amazing thing i have ever experieinced!!
Congrats, that is a lovely story.

Welcome to the world Isabelle

thank you everyone!!! yes it was amazing!! i am very proud of myself!! grin
SIL is still in shock, bless her!! Yes i did ruin the bedding grin but she forgave me lol.
Didnt have any pain at all, not even when pushing, think the other two paved the way for Isabelle lol!
My ds1 tells everyone who will listen i had the baby on the kitchen floor, even te tesco delivery man !!! was a shame i had to go in for the placenta, my midwife wasnt very happy that no one could get out to me but nevermind, she is here safe and thats all that matters. the day after she was born i was abit low thinking about what if it had all gone wrong but it didnt, i am lucky.
wow what an amazing entrance your daughter made to the world!!

Expect your SIL was very shock seeing as she onlhy came to look after the boys!!

well done to you all smile

OMG congratulations! and well done
Great birth story. Shame to have to go in just to placenta delivery when you'd done all that yourself.

Many congratulations and welcome Isabelle. smile
