Showed up already probably 8-9cm dilated, an angel midwife of Indian decent grabbed me into her arms at 5:15am. I remember feeling instant relief and safety.
She gently took me to my room where it was dimmed lights and I could hear the bath running. My midwife turned up and I literally got into the bath and pushed him out at 5:38am.
I was so blessed to have such a calm environment, unlike my first who was induced and I was poked and prodded for days to get her out.
To have such a relaxed environment made me feel safe, nurtured and empowered to do it alone.
With my first I turned up to the hospital in labour and due to the rushed/business like environment everything stopped. My partner didn't even receive a mattress for the 3 nights I stayed. After giving birth my partner had to go home, as in the hospital he couldn't sleep on the floor. I cried the entire night and the midwife at the hospital said sorry they couldn't take my baby to help me sleep because they were too busy.
