Mummy and Daddy arrived at the hospital about 10am after there was some questions by Mummy on the route to the hospital. I think Daddy went the long way round and Mummy was not enjoying the trip.
After a slow walk through the hospital doors, up the elevator to Level 1 and to the delivery suit, they finally arrived and were ushered into delivery suit room 4.
Mummy and Daddy sat waiting for things to roll into action. The Mid wife, Lara, arrived and Mummy was hooked to a monitoring machine which allowed everyone to hear my heart beat. Over time Mummy was having contractions, to help her, Daddy was placing a wet cloth over her head, Mummy was pulling on Daddy's shirt.
Mummy was soon in some pain and was asking for an epidural. Time was progressing and Daddy suggested she was doing very well and did not require an epidural. With the help of the Mid wife, Daddy and Lara convinced Mummy that breathing in gas to help the pain would be better.
About 11.15am, Mummy grabbed Daddy's shirt, looked into his eyes and said, "I want epidural". Daddy got the hint and called Lara back into the room.
The epidural was being administered and Mummy was sitting on the bed. Mummy said, "I think I have to do a poo." Lara said, "I dont think that is a poo you want to do, it could be the baby coming."
It's time for me to come out now.
Daddy was holding Mummy's hand and Lara was assisting my journey. Lara told Daddy to get down and help her hold Mummy's leg. Mummy started to push and my head was coming out. Mummy stopped pushing and my head went back in. Daddy could see my head told Mummy to keep pushing. Small sharps breaths he told her. After a few more pushes I popped out.
