Morning All!
Baby Elizabeth Anne (Beth) was born at 0310 hrs on Monday 2nd August!
We're still in total shock that we've got a girl, our house has never had anything pink in it before!
I had been 2-3 cm dilated since Friday, so when my backache got worse on Sunday I decided to go into hospital. I was 4cm dilated. After 4 hrs I was STILL 4cm dilated, but I kind of thought so as the contractions weren't painful at all. The MW broke my waters at 10pm. At 2am the contractions had intensified, but still okay with Entonox and I was 6-7cm dilated. The Doc said they would examine me in 2hrs and perhaps give me syntocin (sp?)!! However, Beth had other ideas as within the hour I was pushing...... 3 pushes and out she came! It was so quick in the end.
Just had a small tear needing 3 stitches.
Breastfeeding is coming along nicely although I'm VERY SORE!
Thank goodness that's all over!!
