Home birth unexpected

Baby E is here.

I had an unplanned home birth. Thankfully I had a doula with me. She reached my house and was shocked that I am almost 10 cm dilated. We wouldn't have time to make it to the hospital and thus I gave birth on my bed kneeling down and hugging hubby.

More detailed description below.

3 am - contractions about 15 - 20 mins apart
3.30 am - show
4 am - contractions about 12 mins apart
4.30 am - waterbag broke
5 am - intense contractions about 8 - 10 mins apart
6.30 am - daughter woke up
6.45 am - informed hubby that baby will come today
7 am - preparing her for school and telling her that Papa will send her to school because mommy is having a tummyache
7.45 am - hubby back at home
8 am - applied lavendar oil to make me more relax
8.30 am - contractions are so close and intense, unable to time them anymore
8.45 am - poop uncontrollably in my panties
9 am - doula reached my house and we were discussing whether there is time to go to the hospital
9.30 am - poop again
10 am - contractions heightened. Felt the need to move about
10.15 am - lay towels on bed and doula massaged me
10.30 am - I asked doula if I can remove my panties now, she said ok. Doula said can feel baby's head and asked me to push if I feel like pushing. I suddenly feel very tired and weak and wanted to doze off already. I asked doula what should I do now? Because if I sleep, I don't feel the pain. Should I take a nap? Doula said when baby is ready she will come out. Just breathe and feel the baby.

Then doula called my gynae and informed him about the situation. Gynae said 'Ok, if the baby comes, she'll come. Everything will be fine'.

I suddenly felt tightness and numbness around my bottom and after several pushes, I heard baby's cry. Doula caught my baby. I was still in the kneeling position. I asked her "what should I do now?" She told me to undress lie down gently and she will put baby on me.

There, my baby is here. 

Then I still feel contractions and I asked the doula what's going on? She said my placenta will be out soon. It was still quite painful but baby was on me and she distracted me from the pain. My eyes were all on her. She is just perfect. She is so beautiful and slippery. She kept gliding down. I had some pillows behind my back to make myself more upright and she managed to breastfeed within 30 mins.

After that, together with my placenta (in a bag) and baby on my other arm, hubby drove me to the gynae's clinic. I felt very weak, almost no strength to carry the baby, as if I just ran a marathon but still managed to walk there. When I reached there, my pants were already drenched in blood. I kept apologising to everyone. It was so embarrassing.

Gynae stitched me up and I could go home right away with baby.
