Hello everyone, and we are recording our birth 0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:41.360 story of Ivy Sunday. So she was born a month 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:42.480 ago today. 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:43.600 Hey, a month today? 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.319 Yeah? So she was born on the twenty fourth of 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:51.880 November at ten fifty nine. She weighed three point six 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:57.960 kilos and is fifty six minutes long. She's a very 0:01:58.000 --> 0:02:01.240 long baby, and she definitely has your body, not mine. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:03.200 She has a little lank dog. 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:07.640 She's so lanky. To put into perspective, guys, so I 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.080 was the same weight as her as a newborn, but 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.360 I was ten centimeter shorter. So yeah, she's gonna definitely 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.840 have some height on her, which I love that for her. So, guys, 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:20.200 what we're gonna do is we're just gonna run through 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:25.000 the story the chain of events that happened. It ended 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.200 up being like a twenty six. 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.680 Hour later, so it was a marathon. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.800 It was a marathon, wasn't It definitely did not go 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.760 to plan, but we had such an incredible experience. So 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.000 we'll get into that. And then I put some questions 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:41.640 on my Instagram, so we will do that after. So 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.680 where do we start him? It was the Tuesday morning, 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.360 so she was born. To put into perspective, she was 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:55.280 born on Wednesday night at ten nearly eleven pm. So 0:02:55.600 --> 0:03:02.680 on the Monday morning, sorry, the Tuesday morning. On the Monday, 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:09.000 I went and saw my Obi obstetrician, and he did 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.120 a stretch and sweep and said I was already two 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.560 centimeters dilated. So he did a stretch and sweep. And 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:22.960 then the next morning, Tuesday morning, my waters broke. And 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:26.960 a bit of a funny story, so I had Actually 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:31.160 I was sleeping the spare room because Tim was snoring, 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.280 and so I slept in the spare room. 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.720 That's not like me to snort with the biggest snore. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.320 Well, I think it was just more because I was 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.960 light sleeping. Usually it's not too bad. And I woke 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.280 up and sneezed and my waters broke. 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:51.080 Water everywhere, Yeah, so I turned into a water. 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.720 I noosed right away and walked to the bathroom and 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.720 I was like, damn, my waters have just broken. 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.000 And I got up literally and then doctor this big 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:02.920 trail of water all the way to the bathroom. It 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.280 looked like you just got out in the shaer and 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:05.480 just like walked into the bedroom. 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.320 But it was the opposite way, yeah, from the bedroom 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:10.680 to the bathroom, and it was like it was quite 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.800 a bit of water. So I thought that was it. 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.200 We then I was like to Tim, so I didn't 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.560 have contractions or anything, so labor hadn't started, and so 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:21.960 I was like to Tim, let's get up, let's go 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.000 for a walk. Like I'm not in labor, but like, 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:25.479 you know, let's get this going. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.200 Get active. Yeah, get it happening. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:32.520 So we went from a walk to the beach, no joke, 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.440 We're at the beach, and I said to Tim almost 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.919 so I had like period underwear on and stuff, and 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.960 I said to Tim, oh, my god, my waters are breaking. 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:46.840 Even more so by the time that we were like 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:52.040 nearly home, my whole I was wearing like sports pants. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.719 No, it was so what happened was we're at the beach. Yah, 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.320 and then you were like, oh, you know, a little 0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.880 bit more water came out, and I remember, and then 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:02.520 we like almost home. Yeah, and then I made that 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.200 funny joke and then you literally cracked yourself and it 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.160 was just like literally gushing it out, like you just 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.800 pissed your pants in, literally pissed yourself up. 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.680 No, but it was water my whole. So I was 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.920 wearing these brown pants and my whole, all my pants 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.960 were wet, hey, and it was like water stream coming down. 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.000 And I started basically running home because I was embarrassed. 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.280 It's embarrassed. Yeah, but I mean you couldn't even tell 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.839 really like it was just but it was just been 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:31.560 uncomfortable for you, wasn't it. Yeah. 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.480 So then I went upstairs, had a shower, put another pattern. 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:38.000 So that whole day I was just like leaking water, 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:42.800 but nothing else happened. I didn't we didn't call the 0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:45.200 hospital or anything because I was kind of super chill 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:47.400 about it and I was like, oh, no, I'll go 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.000 into labor in the next you know, twenty four or 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:53.200 forty eight hours. I just need to rest and chill. 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.240 We just had a super chill day. I think I 0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:58.080 tried to have like a nap and stuff. And then 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:03.560 that night we went to bed around eight thirty. Again, 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:07.680 Tim started snoring, so I went into the spare room, 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.600 and also I kind of had a feeling I would 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.599 go into labor, so I was like, I want to 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.400 go in the spare room and just kind of do 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.960 the start bit by myself, because I just kind of, 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.839 you know, all first berths are pretty long, I've been told, 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.280 so I was like, I just want to, you know, 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.240 make sure Tim gets sleep so we can keep going. 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:25.800 Yeah. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.599 So then at nine thirty on the Tuesday night, my 0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.320 contraction started, so they kind of just felt it just 0:06:34.400 --> 0:06:38.720 kind of feels like pretty intense period pain. And I 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:45.840 would have one contraction every ten minutes, ten to fifteen minutes. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:51.440 They weren't regular two and then yeah, they just felt 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.080 like intense period pain. But it was quite painful from 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.039 the start. Lots of whom say they, you know, it's 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:02.440 not that painful. Mine like, oh, because it was only 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.840 you know, for a minute every ten or fifteen minutes. 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.760 It was so doable, and I was just doing it 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:11.400 by breathing. I would get up and kind of just 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:15.600 like get through it, and it was fine. But then 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.160 things started to really ramp up. So it was like 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.240 that until four point thirty, yeah, maybe. 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.840 Like five in the morning. Yeah, and then you're like 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.679 fuck you came in and then we put the tens 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:28.320 machine on. 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.920 So I woked him up and I was like, she's getten. 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.160 Serious, it's happened, and I was. 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.840 It was probably two contractions every ten minutes at this point, 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:40.640 so every five minutes, and they were quite painful, sometimes 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.120 for a minute and a half. And so I said 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:47.600 to Tim, oh, also she was posterior. So when I 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.360 went to my ob, he did a scan and she 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:51.720 had moved from. 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.920 The perfect position to posteria. 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:56.920 And then I went into labor when she was posterio, 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.280 and I knew she was posteria because my back not 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.560 only could I fear it feel it in my uterus 0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.640 and it for like period pains, but my back was aching. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.920 It was really bad. And then yeah, so we did 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:09.720 the tense. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.840 Machine, pump that up. 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.520 That was good. I'm glad. Yeah, we did that for 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.320 a lot of the pre labor and that was really good. 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:22.320 And basically just a tens machine, it's just like a yeah. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.640 So it just sends for whoever doesn't know what a 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.680 tens machine is, it just sends like electric shocks. So 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:31.840 you just basically put it on. It's more, is it 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:35.920 for more if your posterior or no, No, it's it's 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.280 just for pain. So you put like there's four little 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.680 like sticky things. You put it on like the middle 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.160 of the back on those two main muscles that run 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.560 down yeah, and then down the bottom near the tower 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:47.040 bone hay. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:47.920 Yeah. 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.600 And then so you sort of just stick it on 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.880 stick pad. They stay stick on. Put Andy's back on, 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:53.719 and then it's like. 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.520 You have this controller and so you press it every 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:58.520 time you're about. 0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:59.600 To get a contrave extracsion. 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.559 Yeah, and it kind of just feels like tingling, And 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.480 basically it's to confuse your brain and get you to 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:11.360 focus on a different sensation to the contraction. Yes, you 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.400 can definitely still feel contractions and pain, but. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:15.840 It is just less. 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.720 Yeah, So we used that the whole way till we 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.240 got to the hospital. But basically then it was probably 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.040 around nine. It was probably around eight thirty, and my 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:33.760 contractions were still a regular and then I said to Tim, 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.680 let's just start getting ready to go to the hospital. Also, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:42.040 I kind of wasn't comfortable and I wanted to. It 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.319 was getting pretty intense, and I was like, I want 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.360 to get to hospital. I want to like get in 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:51.000 and get comfortable before it gets really intense, because I 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.560 could kind of feel it was going that way, go 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:52.960 on that way. 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.640 And then the last thing we sort of wanted was 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.480 now if you're sort of doing contractions every like it, 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:00.840 or just you know, if you imagine like if it 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.360 happened in the car, or we just wanted to get there, yeah, 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:04.839 but we didn't want to get there too early. Was 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.080 they go, oh, just go back home. There's no way 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.160 you get there, and you want to go back home 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:10.600 forget it, you know. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.560 Right, And I almost felt like I couldn't relax here 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:17.600 because I knew that we had to do the car ride. 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.880 We had to get in there get the assessment. So 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.240 I was like, let's just start getting ready. So it 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:26.400 probably took an hour to actually leave, and then so 0:10:26.480 --> 0:10:30.760 we you know, had everything pat put the dogs outside, 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.959 all that sort of thing, and headed to the hospital. 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.200 I still had the tens machine in the car, and 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.360 I also wore my eye mask and had the music 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:41.600 going so I could kind of be in the. 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.760 Zone because what were the contractions when we did leave 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:45.920 to go to the hospital. 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:47.480 It was three every ten minutes. 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.480 Three every ten minutes, so that's like pretty much generally 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:53.199 when they say to go. So we just sort of 0:10:53.240 --> 0:10:55.680 as soon as that happened, we're like bo b lined 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.040 it straight up. The m one. 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.760 Were very fast things to dom. It was also a 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:03.520 rainy day, which I kind of loved. 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.600 Yeah, kind set the mood and it wasn't like it 0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:08.839 was yeah, it was kind of nice, wasn't it. 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.240 Yeah, loved it. And then so we got to the hospital. 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.600 We went to the assessment. It's called like MAC, which 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.040 is the maternity Assessment I hated this part because I 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.320 was in so much pain, and you have to get 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.120 admitted and they have to fill out paperwork and you're 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.800 like in these little rooms with everyone else, like just 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:33.280 curtains between you, and I was having like mad contractions, 0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.000 like compared to the other women in there. 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:38.679 Did she do an internal exam? 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:39.319 No? 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.040 No, that was in the other that was in the 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.520 sweet wasn't. Yeah, yep. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:47.280 So we got in there and I so the big 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:51.000 thing was my waters had already broken to by this 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:56.720 point it was Wednesday morning, so my waters broke Tuesday morning, 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.160 so it had been over twenty four hours. So basically 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:05.080 they said, look, you can either. They did try and do. 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:09.040 There was this other test to see how dilated I was. 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.640 That you can do that's not internal, but they did 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.520 it and they said there was too much water in 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:18.160 the way. They couldn't get a proper reading. So basically 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.760 she said, my only options were to do so to 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.960 get into the berth suite, you have to be at 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:27.719 least four centimeters. But she said to get into the 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.240 birth seat, I need to know how dilated you are, 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.640 and I have to do an internal. But once I 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.480 do an internal, you can't leave the hospital because your 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.080 waters have broken and there's risk of infection. So this 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.440 the whole thing she said was basically, you have to 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.120 stay here either way. But if we do an internal 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:49.640 and you're not four centimeters, you'll have to get a 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:54.800 sintosin drip to you know, speed things along. So that's 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:59.320 in a form of induction. Otherwise you have to go 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.400 home now. And we were like, there's no way we're 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:06.559 going home, Like I was having mad contractions. 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.240 In the Yeah, just in that the waiting bait basically. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.600 Yeah, and Tim was like, oh, we're not going home. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:18.720 Listen. And so I can't remember worse memory, But did 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.600 you have to get the an aesthetic in the waiting 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.560 bay or did you get that? We did gm in 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.760 any botics, any biotics, that was it. 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:31.280 Yes, because my waters had broken. We had to get 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.240 the antibotics for IVY. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.559 Because they've been broken for twenty four hours and basically 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:39.280 you can. 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.040 Have there's high risk of infection. 0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:45.400 Yeah, yeah, there is risk of infection. It's just you 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:48.360 don't really want to take the risk of not you 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:49.640 know what I mean, Like you just you just want 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:50.480 to Yeah. 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.520 So that was fine. So, yeah, I also had to 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:58.400 get any bodics for her anyway. So then we went 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.960 to the berth suite and she did an internal. The 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.319 midwife there. Our birth suite was lovely, hey, so it 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.199 was you have your own room, there's like a pool, 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:12.000 there was this beautiful aboriginal painting, like on the wall 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.160 in front of me. You have like all the stuff. 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:18.079 So we got in there and that was good. She 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.360 did an internal and I was only three centimeters. Ye, 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.120 So I was happy to know what that was. And 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.400 just I said to Tim after the initial internal, I 0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.120 just don't want to know. So we did the three 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:36.240 She said three centimeters and I wasn't too worried because 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:40.400 I knew it was still pre labor. But basically she 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.400 was like, you need to do you want to do 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:47.400 the sintosin drip because you're not the four centimeters and 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.840 things are progressing really slow. And so we did a 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:56.040 sintosin drip a really low amount just to get things progressing. 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.840 And I was kind of happy to do that because 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:00.560 I was like already in so much pain. So I 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.000 was like, let's just get the show on the right. 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.480 Yeah, got the shine right, and then we also got 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:06.360 the gas looked up in. 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:08.720 You not at this point. Not at this point, so 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.040 we just we were still doing the tense machine for 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.000 a little bit in the room. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.240 Oh yeah, but then that didn't last very long. 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.000 No, And then so then we started. She asked if 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.400 I wanted the gas, and I was always up for gas, 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.360 and I was like, definitely get the gas. That was 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:28.520 some good shit, guys. So yeah, I got on the gas, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:32.920 and I don't know, I liked the gas. It definitely 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:38.760 helps with the pain, but it does like you're so 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:42.520 out of it, you're completely Like I said to Tim, 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.720 for the four hours that I had gas. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.800 Was it six six hours? 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.680 Six hours? See, I don't even know what time it was. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:50.800 I was on a different planet. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.200 Hey, Like I was trying to talk to her, like, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.880 you know, talk her through the contractions and stuff, and 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:00.760 she's like, you were a bit unresponsive. Yeah hearing I could. 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.040 So that's the things like with the gas. But also 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:07.600 to put it in perspective, I was in that much 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:12.080 pain that the gas was better. But on the gas, 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.400 like I couldn't tell you who was in the room, 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.120 what was like, I could hear Tim talking, I could 0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:21.240 hear mom there. So my mum came also and she 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.880 met us at the assessment unit, so she was in 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:31.120 the birth suite with us Ye Debster and basically, yeah, 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:34.480 I was pretty much in a different planet, let's say. 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.040 But it was better because the pain at that point 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:43.760 was quite intense. I'll keep using that word intense, and 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.400 I'm someone who I have a pretty high pain threshold, 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.880 and it was pretty next level. I think it's more 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.760 just because it's so consistent so you can get through it. 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:57.840 My contractions were lasting a minute to a minute and 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.800 a half and you could get through it. You would rest. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:06.040 But because she was posterior, even when the contraction would finish, 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.880 I was still having the back pain. So it's kind 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.679 of like I wasn't getting arrests And it. 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:14.919 Was just sort of like with the whole gassing, you 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.720 sort of just take the gas when the contraction starts, 0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:19.760 and then you meant to get off it. Georgia's is 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:23.200 literally sucking on this scene for fucking six hours straight. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.080 That's why she was so at the midwif. We had 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.840 like multiple midwives come in and she was like, darling, 0:17:29.280 --> 0:17:31.359 you got to stop sucking on the gas, all right. 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:38.399 It was like death staring. She would say, stop sacking 0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:40.080 on the gas and I'd like take it away for 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.320 a bit and they'd be like put it back. Well, 0:17:43.720 --> 0:17:45.720 it was I don't know, it was I kind of 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.080 even like really remember that part of the day, to 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.359 be honest. And then so what were you and mum 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.160 doing during that time because I couldn't tell you. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:55.040 Yeah, well, we were sort of just trying to assist 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:59.399 because obviously, like to get get her out as quickly 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:03.439 as possible, you're gonna try different positions, right, yeah, so 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:04.560 we had like so. 0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:08.840 Yeah, so we were thinking of having a water berth, 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:10.680 but because I. 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.560 Am, because Georgia's waters broke, yeah, twenty four hours before. 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:19.480 Basically the water birth was out of option at that 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:22.120 point because they wouldn't let me. Yeah, because if water 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:23.840 got up there and the water has already broken, it 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:25.960 could be more risk for infection. 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.359 So that was so remember like the midwife was like, 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:32.439 do you want to get in the shower, and I 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:33.119 didn't want to. 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.919 I didn't want to get with water water, so maybe. 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.200 The thought of going in the bath, I wasn't even. 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.840 Interested, and it was like a meant to be sort 0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:41.160 of thing. 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:41.680 Yeah. 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.960 Yeah, So anyway, so basically we were on the bed, 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.400 but then we would try and get George in different positions. 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.159 We had the peanut ball there, which is basically like 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.520 a Peanuts shaped shaped and. 0:18:55.600 --> 0:18:58.600 So before that, the best position that I was doing 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.800 at home was on all hands and knees, hands and knees, 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.560 and that's really good for posterior because that pushes the 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:11.160 baby off your spine, because when you're posterior, it's spine 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.399 on spine and that's what's so painful. So I was 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:15.360 on my hands. 0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.440 On knees, hanging down any position. 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.840 Or I would be hanging off the bed or the 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:25.760 ball and so like anything where I'm yeah, thought and 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:27.919 that was that was really good. And I also had 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:30.800 a canula in for my antibotics, and I was still 0:19:30.840 --> 0:19:33.000 like on my hands and knees, so that was like 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:33.720 so painful. 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:35.960 It's a bit of a weird spot to put the canula. 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:37.800 I sort of asked if you could put it up 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:38.840 a bit higher, but it's. 0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:42.800 Like yeah, she said it was weird or something. Anyway, 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.200 So I was doing those positions. 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:47.320 And then we had the other the big ball there, 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:53.200 exercise exercise ball. So we had the big exercise ball 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.280 there because sitting on the exercise ball and bouncing up 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:57.840 and down. It was obviously good for gravity, and then 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.720 good pushing the baby down sort of thing. Trying different 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:02.320 and then like sort of like moving around on the 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:02.960 ball a bit too. 0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:05.520 Yeah, we were trying to be active. We were trying 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.679 a lot of different positions. Even like at one point, 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.879 I remember I was on the bed on all fours 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.680 and that was really comfortable, and then the midwife was like, 0:20:16.119 --> 0:20:18.720 let's try a different position, and I was like, no. 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:23.280 Happy just staying here. Also, what else is a good 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:26.560 like a slow dance, because obviously, like like George was 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.760 so like just exhausted, like it's like it's hard to 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.360 even like stand up, and then like staying all these positions, 0:20:32.840 --> 0:20:34.760 so even just like a slow dance when she just 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.360 like had her arms like around my neck and just 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:39.600 like sort of just swaying from side to side. 0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:43.040 Yeah, yeah, I've got video footage of that. Yeah, and 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.600 see that's the thing with the gas. So mum took 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:50.080 quite a few videos of the birth, and I don't remember. 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:55.600 So then what time, Hello, Missy I is next to 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:56.960 us as we're recording. 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.360 She's just like she's like she's yawning waking up. 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.639 So so what time was it that I had that 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:04.560 second internal done. 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:10.000 Well, that second internal was about six o'clock, basically six pm, 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:11.000 six pm. 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:15.640
