We get more education on the things Jessie has read, thanks Jessie.
Jessie starts on the gas. Gets impatient. TENS machine is ON. Sucking gas.
Jessie wants the epidural in the EXACT RIGHT TIME.
We get to hear about the stretch and sweep. Very painful and scary.
The cervix had to be pulled forward, clawed or similar. Midwife 'stretches around'. I'm quoting this directly.
7am Sunday -- time for epidural. Jessie can't talk through contractions.
Broken leg was the biggest blessing -- Jessie didn't have pain relief for 8 hours after snapping her tibia. Did you know about that?
Epidural is awesome, but she gets hers before the mother next door (who was screaming). First time in 50 hours without pain.
THREE CM DIALATED TEAM.
Waters naturally break on the table at 9.58am Sunday. Lots of farting follows.
Hello Bump (the pod) helped Jessie know what to ask for, and what to do.
SIX CM at 6pm, Sunday.
Claire, Jessie's Mum and Dad come to visit, as Mia pointedly points out.
Discussions about other options including C-Section, to be decided at 10pm, Sunday
"Was it like you had to do a poo?" - Mia's insightful question.
Midwife looks inbetween Jessie's legs.
WE'RE AT A TEN.
Jessie has practiced pushing before birth, every night. A+ for diligence.
Jessie knocks out epidural out of place, after 62.5 hours of labour.
Description of baby crowning. Fairly descriptive.
Obstetrician isn't there yet.
Mia is in the car.
Obstetrician was only there for four pushes.
"Was the whole head out of your vagina?" - Mia
BABY IS HERE. Transformative. Unbelievable. Had been living at 20% until this moment.
Baby latches straight away.
Placenta fell out.
Congratulations all.
