“Charleigh is my pal from uni, we lived together. She’s wise and sensible, but also very funny.'
Emily Johnson, 45, has a four-year-old son.“I was a single mum from the start because my son’s father wasn’t around. My younger sister, Katy, was with me while I gave birth – and she ended up being there through my emergency C-section. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
“Initially, I chose my mum to be my birthing partner, but she lived abroad, and two weeks before my induction my grandmother broke her hip, so my mum had to stay in Spain. “My sister immediately offered to be with me during the birth, although the thought was fairly daunting. She was the most supportive, calm and patient person, even when things went wrong and I was rushed to theatre without warning. She was allowed to join me in theatre after I’d had my anaesthetics and spinal injections. And she was on the phone to our mum, panicking, while I was rushed down as things happened so quickly – but with me, she showed no stress or panic.
“Towards the end of my labour, my sister ended up coming in, too – she held the gas and air canister for me. I’m not going to lie, towards the end it became quite chaotic having my partner, mum and sister in the room with me as the baby wasn’t coming out, and everyone had different ideas of what we could try!
“After 36 hours of labour, I ended up in theatre. It was a failed forceps, ventouse and an episiotomy that got him out. It was only my partner in theatre with me at that time, but my mum was in the room next door waiting for me to come out.“Despite being terrified, it was an experience we all got to share together and we can still look back and talk about it now.
