Our beautiful little girl Jaimee Danielle was born 0101 on 29/3/04 weighing in at 7.03 by emergency c after 24hrs labour and we were discharged today. It is lovely to be home and
we are both doing well.
The plan was waterbirth, after having a frank bleed in the bath that was out, then I did the gas and air thing as long as I could but when I could cope no longer had the most perfect epidural (albeit a bit delayed due to someone needing an emergency c-section). We progressed nicely till 9cm dilated when they put a drip in to speed things along as I was only 2/5 desended? Within a minute or two of having the drip started Jaimee's heartrate plummeted. They turned off the drip, HR returned to normal but she had gone into distress so off I went to the theatre. 4 days in hospital and here we are at home. End of birth announcement - start of exciting new time.
