The news you all have been waiting for about Misdee!!!

[sparklymieow]

Misdee delivered at 7:25pm, 5 minutes before I got there, after a 4 hour labour. She was 3cm dilated when she arrived at the hospital so they broke her waters at 3:30pm. I phoned at 6:40pm and was told to come in, but I couldn't work out the call button thing on the door so waited around for about 5 minutes, and missed it all, but she is beautiful, lots of black hair, weighs in at 7lb 13 and 1/2oz. Misdee is looking great and didn't need any stitches!!
Her name is Sherena Dixie (not sure if I have spelt her first name right) and she is soooooo pretty!!

Perhaps she will have the record for the quickest mumsnet hospital birth turnaround

Posting before going in and then posting as soon as gets home

maybe! haven't heard anything yet, so we'll see eh?

How wonderful Congrats to all concerned! She is very beautiful.

Congratulations Missdee & family & welcome to the world Serena Dixie {smile]

Misdee isn't coming home today something to do with her or the baby's glocose (sp??) levels. Just spoken to her DH and he was a bit vague.

hope she is ok

thinks its probably Misdee's levels as she has had GD and had to test her levels every day.
Our parents have gone to see her and the baby and taken Misdee's DD1 too see her too

congratulations misdee.

Congratulations Misdee - fantabuloso!

Sparklymeiow - when the mum has GD the baby is used to generating a lot of insulin to cope while in the womb. When the baby is born it can't adjust the insulin levels fast enough and their blood sugar drops too low. It can take a little while to even out.

They will keep the baby in to monitor her until blood sugar returns to normal. Baby will have blood taken every 2-4 hours until blood sugar is normal.

Hopefully she'll be out tomorrow

DS had the same thing when he was born, his blood sugar levels were too low, but I didn't have GD. At least I understand what the have to do to sort it though.

Fab photo mieow!!! What a lot of hair Serena has. Makes me go all broody again (good job I'm pg!)

well done misdee. first of the marchers

Have spoken to mum and she said that the baby has a blood sugar level of 1.3 so she is being taken to SCBU to be kept an eye on.

thats misdees and my mum BTW!!

mine and misdee's mum, god my grammer is cr*p!!

little sis is going to see her tonight hopefully. Now if she was in the hospital opposite my house, we would be there all day

When DS was in NNU and later in SCBU they had several babies come in with glucose levels etc.

THey all looked so huge next to the prem babies.

In the incubabtor or cots.

Poor Misdee and serena

Hopefully home tomorrow

Ds was taken to SCBU when he was born with low glucose levels, he was 5lb 2oz and he looked huge, when DD1 and DD2 were in SCBU (3lb 12 and 3lb 8) they looked tiny compared to the babies with Glucose problems

Hope everything is ok - tell misdee i am thinking of her and Serena

Oh thanks for the photo, mieow. She really is beautiful (now you know I'd say that regardless but she really, really is - ds2 had masses of very dark hair just like that, feel a bit broody now...)

Ds1 had very low blood sugar and they were a bit concerned but he perked up quickly once they realised that was what the problem was - hope misdee and Serena (is it definitely Serena?) are home soon. Are you going to print this thread off - 222 posts!

Beautiful baby, congratulations Misdee and family
