With my first my daughter I was in labour for 32 hours and I had an epidural which was bliss but very upsetting once the baby was born because I could not stand up or move around.
I intended not to have an epidural second time around, this was not the case I did have an epidural BUT it did not work, we had lots of issues with it and we never did find out why it did not work so this time around I found the pushing part of labour a lot worse than the first time around but fortunately it only lasted an hour!
With my second labour my waters broke at 3 in the morning and my son was born by 7. I was taken to the delivery suite at around 2. I had my husband and my mum with me. My husband, Anthony, is a professional rugby player and he had a cup final the following day but in order to play he had to train on the day I was in labour.
As he only had to train for 2 hours between 4pm and 6pm I told him he could go as I was only about 3 cm dilated, meaning I had a long night ahead of me and as I had my mum with me and I was much calmer than first time round. Those 2 hours that Anthony was training were the longest two hours of my life! Not only did my mum faint during these 2 hours it was very hot and she had not eaten all due to the excitement but it was during these two hours that they were trying to give me an epidural and the first time they tried my right leg felt really numb.
You know that feeling you get in your elbow when you hit your funny bone? It was like that but in my leg so they took it out my back and did it again, we thought everything was fine but I kept on asking when it was going to start working and after 40 minutes the midwife said it really should have started working but there were no anesthetist to come and look at me as the hospital was full!
So full they had to start sending women to another nearby hospital! I just remember the look on my midwives face when she told me to ring my husband and tell him not to bother with the food and to come back to the hospital ASAP as the baby was on its way.
Because I started to panic, I forgot about the breathing techniques. I was in pure agony and I for what felt like an eternity, but was actually only an hour. My son finally arrived by a Ventouse assisted delivery Vacuum device at 7. I was quite shocked, as statistics show that on average you have a bigger baby second time around. As soon as he was born he was whisked of straight away to the corner of the room but not before I saw his bottom half and screamed out its a boy!
Hearing him cry for the first time after wondering if I would ever hear him cry was the most amazing and emotional experience I have ever gone through, Just thinking about it now brings a tear to my eye. His last game he played is when I was in labour and guess what? They won! That was a fantastic game for Anthony to end his career on and it was all over the local papers about how well he had played and how he had almost missed the birth of his son in order to play.
I have kept all the newspaper cuttings and put them in my Sons baby book. I did, before I had my daughter. I am the eldest of 6 kids and we are all extremely close, I really wanted to re create that with my own family but wow kids are expensive! And not to mention the strain they put on your body … Although I might have one more! My dad and my mum divorced when I was 9 and he was always working very hard which I am very grateful for, as we would not have the life we have now if it was not for that.
I have never complained, but I am definitely a lot closer to my dad now than when I was a child, he was a great dad and still is, we have had our moments like I am sure any father and daughter do but as I am older and more wiser now I can appreciate what he has done for us and of course I can get in the car and go and see him whenever I want which was obviously not the case when I was a kid.
Since having my kids my dad has been around even more and he visits regularly. He is a great granddad and the kids love him. I once left him in charge of my daughter for 2 hours while I popped out to the shops with my son who was only about 2 weeks old, the house was a tip by the time I got back and my dad was pulling his hair out! But my daughter was laughing so that is what matters.
Bless him! We are not spoilt in any way, yes we have had nice holidays and we have lived in nice houses but we never ever expect anything from him. In my biography, I explain the incident; it was in part a reaction to this officer's abuse of his authority, in part a dare by his shipmates and in part a way of getting out of the Navy, with which I had become disillusioned.
Afterwards, I had to serve nine months in the tough Colchester military detention centre before being discharged aged I have since branched into Health Clubs, with the popular Bannatyne's Health Clubs chain, and also bars, hotels and property.
I was honoured with the Order of the British Empire for my contribution to charity and I support many good causes, especially for children.
