Due Date Fast Approaching

I forgot to say in the last post that i found out in the may i was going to have a little boy and was over the moon. It didnt matter to me whether it was a girl or boy as long as the baby was healthy thats all that mattered !

Okay, September 2010 and i started my final year of sixth form... I was at sixth form most days of the week, so no time for rest even though i was in my 9th month of pregnancy.

After weeks of thinking about things and discussions with approval from my parents matt moved in. I rearranged my whole room not just for my new baby but for matt aswell. At first it was quite nice having someone there for me as i needed all the support i could possibly get.. 

Weeks of me going to school started to get boring... so ill bring you to the 21st September 2010 (7 days before my due date) 

I did a full day at school. Walked to school for 9am. Walked home for lunch 12:40 then back to school at 1:20. Was just a normal tuesday for me. Although i had this weird feeling and was, well lets just put it as OCD. Was panicking as i wanted everything sorted for the baby as i only had a week left. Getting pretty fed up of having a fat bump and tried everything! Few days before, i had a hot curry. Done loads of walking and that lunchtime i had raspberry leaf tea with 3 teabags in and a raspberry leaf tablet before heading back to school! 

Arsenal V Spurs were playing that night, so was a split house and mum and us support arsenal and pete supported spurs.. so before we watched the game on mums laptop i decided to have a bath around 5pm! Got out of the bath and felt like i was having little twinges..thinking nothing of it i carried on with whatever i was doing.
By 7pm the 'twinges' were getting closer and closer together. Me being my worried self told my mum and wrote down the times of each one and the gap between. I WAS IN LABOUR. Wont go into the tmi bit.

So i could now call them contractions. They were getting more and more painful and by 3am i had enough and wanted to go into hospital. Was only 3cm dilated so had a long way to go but stayed in. It was now early morning of 22nd September nearly in full blown labour and couldnt handle the pain anymore. I went for gas and air and did the whole thing on gas & air only...

At 5pm 22nd September 2010. I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Liam Peter Tilley who is my world! 


What i didnt mention: pretty much as soon as we got the hospital i was with my mum and matt. Matt had fallen asleep by about 4am, fair enough it was early. Dont even ask when he woke up i dont know! At 6am i had a bath then another bath around 1/2ish in the afternoon(by the 2nd bath, matt was awake and was with me, wondering why i knew where the bathroom was because he was asleep for the best part of half my labour!!) Was literally an hour away from giving birth and Matts phone rang. There was me thinking it was his mum but nope. Big shock horror it was his phone company as he had ordered a new phone for contract and had to sort a time out for when they could deliver it. I needed all the support i could possibly get and he walked out of the room because he had to take a stupid phone call. i was giving birth to his baby!!! 


Until next time.....
