Im torn between typing a big dramatic birth announcement and just letting you know he's finally here.
As you know i went into hospital last monday, was induced monday eve with no results. Then induced again on wednesday with no result.
After waiting and waiting for a bed so they could do ARM we were finally transferred to delivery suite on thursday afternoon.
ARM was tried by mw, then senior mw and then finally achieved at 4pm by doctor.
Contractions started within an hour or so, and lots of drama ensued - baby's heart rate kept dropping, emergency buzzer was pulled several times and the room filled up with people.
I was dilating well up to 5cm, and then nothing, baby was facing in a funny direction, i was in a lot of pain, and was fairly terrified most of the time.
Not going to go into any more detail but definately feel at some point i will need to talk to someone about it
Noah James was born at 3.22am by emergency section. He weighed 8lbs 6oz, and is perfect
I came home the following day and am still in terrible pain, think it may be an infection in my uterus. Its just good to be home!
DH is being amazing, i am getting great help with bf and am expressing at the moment.
Thanks to everyone who's offered me support over the last few months
