I was reading my post about Ashton‘s deliveries stories and realise i should probably blog about Amber‘s delivery story too so that i can read it again in the future.
We thought Ashton‘s delivery was fast, Amber‘s was even faster.
We had an unplanned home birth with no assistance, it was a 30 minutes labour. My water broke at 4.15am while i was in bed,i had a sharp painful contraction when that happened (signalling the start of labour). The contraction was so intense and developed so fast that i couldn't even clean myself up properly with water being broken. Next thing i know there was a lot of pressure, something very similiar to what i experienced with Ashton so i know things were happening fast. I had 4 hours with Ashton so you would think i had atleast 1 hour this time,or atleast time to get to the hospital since we only live 5 minutes away, but no, Amber was born at 4.49am. Luckily we stayed put and luckily the delivery was straight forward because Frank had to be the midwife and catch the baby as she literally slipped out of me. The midwife arrived 10 minutes after we delivered her ourselves. It was quite a morning for all of us.
Ashton slept through everything and he even slept in and woke at 8am the next morning to a brand new sister next door with mummy in mummy and daddy's room.
We thought Ashton‘s labour and delivery story was impressive, Amber‘s definitely topped that!
She was born 20 days before due date, definitely a lovely surprise for all of us that morning!
