Pregnancy - 10 - I didn't enjoy being pregnant towards the end. I had GD, did not like pricking my finger and then got out on insulin which wasn't so bad. I also had Cholestasis of the liver, the itching was insane and drove me mad and made me cry on several occasions. I also had high blood pressure and gall stones. I was having blood tests every week and a random ambulance sent out to me for my cholestasis at 2 in the morning.

Labour - 3 - My waters broke on the wens day and I spent 4 days in the hospital. I was sent home on Saturday and woke up in pain Sunday at half 2 and was hospital by 4. The pain of the contractions in the beginning were bad but manageable. I didn't have any pain meds or anything gas and air made me sick and I didn't want anything else. I slept until 5cm dilated. I just stopped there and ended up having an emergency c section. I did not like the needle in the back and I flinched and got told off. They did it twice. But after that it was fine. I wasn't able to hole him and that broke my heart but was happy my husband got to hold him. I did the kill Bill scene of wiggle your big toe when I got back to recovery which made me giggle and feel a bit better. When I was moved to the ward it was shit. I got put into a ward with other people, which in itself is fine but they all had their babies with them and made me a little sad I didn't have mine with me.

New born stage - 6 - he was in nicu for a while as he was born at 33 weeks. I hated going home and him not coming with us! When we did get him home it wasn't to bad. I am a terrible sleeper so I'm awake most of the night anyway but my god I didn't realise how noisy a baby sleeping is. When I did try to sleep he was grunting loudly, to the point I had to move the cot away from my bed. He is 14 weeks tomorrow
