Heidi Elizabeth was born on Sept 25th, 3.41 kg (7lb 8) (to "Life on Mars" by David Bowie). We are both doing well.
I went to hospital for betamethasone injections and due to gestational diabetes was kept in overnight for blood sugar monitoring. I had a couple of poor CTG tracings and some early contractions so I was kept in a bit longer. In the end the planned CS was brought forward by a couple of days (37+5). Everything went very smoothly, the operating theatre staff were calm and gentle. I was shown and handed Heidi then she was taken to NICU for a few hours' monitoring and glucose drip. I went to see her as soon as I could feel my legs again after the spinal (about 5 hours). We were discharged two days later. She's doing well, a bit jaundiced and v sleepy. I'm still in quite a lot of pain from the CS and now I have a toothache as well...
