Oscar James was born at 9.56pm on June 19th,weighing in at 9lb 2oz's.
i wont go into too much of the gory stuff,but i had a long 22 hour labour as the baby was back-to back,but i surprised myself(as i'm a wimp)by not having an epidural.
i had a couple of shots of pethidine which was great,then i had a problem with my bladder being too full so i needed a cathetar for that.i also became de-hydrated and was put on a drip,then another drip later on to increase the contractions.
once i was fully dilated and had been pushing for over 3 hours,they realised he just wasnt going to come out on his own,so Oscar finally arrived with the help of an episiotomy and ventouse delivery,with just a couple of hours left for him to say"happy father's day!".
we had to stay in hospital for a few days to see if we had an infection as my waters broke more than 24hrs before labour,then they thought i may have needed a blood transfusion but luckily i didn't.Oscar is also fairly jaundaced at the moment and has a problem with both his feet but apparently it's very common and not cause for concern.
we are just so happy with him,it's untrue.i got no sleep the first night as i just sat looking at him,not quite believing that after 7 years we're finally a mummy and daddy,and he is worth everything we went through-it's the best feeling in the world and we haven't stopped smiling.
