My mum went into labour at about 2 o clock in the after noon. She din't eat much and sat down on the couch and watched TV. After she had watched TV for a while she went to bed. Then in the morning she rang the midwife who asked have you been eating mum said no and the midwife told her to have some toast and orange juice. Mum ate and drunk that and then went to bed. She slept for about 3 to 4 hours.
When she woke up mum had a really sore back and a really really sore tummy. My dad took her to the hospital were there midwife was waiting for her. She put mum in a room were she got some painrelif and also the midwife cleared her and said that she was having me.
After a while the doctors asked mum if she wanted to have a bath. She had a bath but while she was in it she got another strong pain. The midwife asked if she wanted pain relief but she said no. After she hopped out the midwife and dad were whispering about pain relief.
When mum was having me she couldn't feel her body from her tummy down. Also my head was in a funny position so it was difulcut to get me out! So the mid wife went to get a special doctor who bring into the room a special sucker thing that got me out easily. After I was born mum got some stuff to take away here numbing pain. Mum had a shower after her pain was gone.
Then the midwife left but the doctor still stayed with her. In the middle of the night mum and dad were take to another hospital. They had to drive about another 15 to 20 minutes to get to the other place.
When they got to the other hospital another doctor was waiting for her. Even though mum and dad had wrapped me in a woolen coat I was still cold so I got warmed up by a special machine. After that mum and dad went to the bed with me and the rest is history!
Here is the Comparison.
Auggies midwife farted lots and smelt like farts and my midwife smelled like perfume mum said!
Auggie came out funny looking and I din't!
