Due Oct 2005 - not much longer!

[Lexie100]

This must be for the last time.

We are home now but I had a rather traumatic time of it and had to have an emergency c section. My placenta ruptured at 3.30am and I started bleeding heavily. Luckily I was in hospital for my induction at the time and they dashed me in record speed to the delivery rooms and straight into theatre. There wasn?t much time for anything as I was in rather a delicate state and Annabel?s vitals were getting worse by the second. Thankfully they gave me a general anesthetic so I was well away with the faries and can?t remember any of it. The staff had me from the ward into theatre and with a little baby girl in 25 mins, they really were fantastic. I got to have morphine and was feeding Annabel within the hour. Since then every day we both get stronger and more confident with each other. She is feeding really well and sleeping lots too. I don?t feel too tired at the moment just in lots of pain.

Just to say that it is all worth it.

My beautiful baby girl was born wednesday evening at home. 41 weeks. 6 hr labour, no drugd and no stitches, 8lb8.

She is ginger like her big brother and practiclly perfect in every way.

sorry for left hsnded typing. nursing.

Congratulations trice and Lexie. Hope you start to feel better soon, Lexie x

Hi, grannygoose yes i had no probs delivery after they gave me the gel i was on monitor for an hour but that was night before, i then went to sleep and woke at 5.30am had a show but still had no pains maybe a slight upset stomache feeling. I then started in labour at about 9am at 11.30 i asked them to check me as thought i was i n labour but the mdw said it was a few tightenings nothing to worry about,( knew i was in labour as was pretty painfull) at about 12 they had a shift change and i begged trainee mdw to check me and i was 8cm, they all started to panic then as there were no beds in delivery unit, eventually got me there and a bit of gas and air and about 20 mins on monitor then, broke my waters and Holly was born at 13.26 . I did not want to go on monitor as up till then had been walking around but it was not too bad as only on it for a bit.
Dont worry it is all a blur and then you have the baby and you forget everything!!

anyone left here? I'm so impatient, I'm 5 days overdue and scheduled for an induction on the 4th November. Might have to join the other group!!! I've had no pain, no show, the doc tried to perform an membrane sweep last week but my cervix was closed and hard, so I'm not very hopeful for a 'natural' birth... anywone else late?? mimixx

mimixx..and anyone else still waiting!
best wishes..must be really annoying..
i've had a few signs, and have been told i'm 2cm dilated..but not due til the 20th of nov.
please come over to due in nov if everyone else has dropped..hehehee

Congatulations Trice

mimixx - sweetie i think it's only you, Shama and granny goose left!!! bu you're really really clse now....

mimixx, i am still here, curry didnt work lastnight just gave me a bit of tummy ache and the obvious trip to the loo!!
Feeling like baby is very low today but only 1 day over all friends and family are betting sunday lunch time for me i hope so!!

Sorry eclose..... fingers crossed for you as well!!!

Morning ladies. I have resigned myself to the induction on 4 Nov so that I dont wake up disappointed every morning. That way if he comes before friday it will be an extra special surprise.

Congrats to Lexie and Trice and I am glad baby Annabel is safe after the traumatic birth. I couldnt bear to read any bad news on here given my fragile and emotional state.

On the bright side, DP has the whole weekend free (normally works overtime Saturdays) and has taken monday off too. Hooray - lots of us time this weekend. Plus we really have to choose a name - or at least a short list.

Have a lovely day and chat to you all later.

oh well gg at least the end is near, this time next week, you'll you have your wee babe.

Know exactly how you feel, but promise you it isall worth it!!!

I know it was traumatic but it just goes to show that medical science is fantastic and i now have every faith in the medical profession. They were utterly amazing. I was very unlucky, you'll be fine.

i haven't left you alone girls! still checking on you every day!!!
fingers crossed that it'll happen now anytime for you!!!!!!!!!

Looks like us "leftovers" will have to jump across to November ante natal soon!!

Hi, well we have just over 12 hours to have halloween babies!! Then we are gonna have to join the november girls, at least we will def give birth before some of them!!
Got midwife app this afternoon gonna ask them to have a look downthere to see if there is any change in cervix but they will prob tell me to get lost like they did last week!

How did you get on with the MW El? I went for a long walk this afternoon, but still nothing. Tomorrow I will join you on Nov thread.

hi gg, yes a bit of a success saw different midwife today and asked for a sweep and she did one no problems, she had a trainee so think she was glad to show off!!
She said maybe in next 24-48 hours could go into labour but maybe not so not getting hopes up.
