Martians 2014 thread 16: the babies are arriving!

[commsgirl]

New thread :)

Oh mtb, here's my hand too, and some
What's the next step from pessaries? ARM? Drip? Hope you're not in too much discomfort.

Morning, no nxt steps until tonight as they have to leave me alone for 24 hrs from last pessary so 9oclock tonight they will examine me!? Im so fed up four ladies went into labour last night and they all came in after me!
I had protein in my urine so had bloods done and further sample sent off yesterday - no one has told me the results yet. Bp is being controlled by meds but was still high 2am this morn, i feel like a spare part!
I havent slept a wink as its too noisey amd uncomfortable. I started having uncomfortable tightenings but even they have stopped

Oh that's so frustrating. Is DH coming in to be with you? Are you able to get up and go walk around now? Thinking about you.

Hang on in their mtb o went to be induced 8 am fri and baby arrived last night at 8.44 a big 10lb 9oz woth forceps! X

I've got everything crossed for you mtb! Hope you manage to get some sleep.

I had the pessary in for 24 hours first thing fri morning waters went at 11.45 fri night and contractions started, went to loo and pessary fell out about 5am midwife decided to leave it out for 6 hours examined me and was only 1-2 cn dialted. At 11 midwife examined me again was now 3 cm dialted and decided to put me on the drip, and slowly increased the dose over 4 hours by 6 I was 8cm dialted but baby had turned started pushing at 8 ended up in theatre as they needed to turn him , 8.44 he was born ! But traumatic but would do it all again today :) he has got a fractured shoulder so is all wrapped up snug. X

I'm glad he arrived safe eventually and hope you're both recovering well. Does he have a name yet? What pain relief did you have?

I had tens machine and co codamol from midnight until about 12.30 then opted for epidural. Best decision ever the gas and air made me really sick and was planning on having remifentanil (not sure on spellings) but was that exhausted from being up all night epidural seamed like best idea for me to get rest x

And his name is Archie x good luck mtb

The other girls who laboured quickly had that 24hr pessary too and i has the "old" version. Im sure if i had of had the 24hr one i wld be further on.
Im sorry to hear he has a fractured shoulder hope it mends quickly! Lovely name :-)
I was told by the anethnatist (sp?) that i cld opt for mobile epidural then midwide said they dnt do it!? Was ur epi a full one or mobile?
Have got my tens with me too

Just been for a walk round the car park and awaiting a birthing ball so wish me luck x

Good luck! Get bouncing :).

Archie's a lovely name steppy.

Congratulations Steppy! Hope you're both well and recovered soon fab name for your LO.

Am thinking of you, MTB... fingers crossed you get some shut-eye, and that we hear an announcement soon!

Mtb it was a mobile one I was so tired it was a god send allowed ne to get rest. I could walk assisted feel the contractions but their was no pain . X

Congratulations steppy, Archie is a lively name, hope he has a speedy recovery.

Fingers crossed its third time lucky MTB.
Hope Archie makes swift recovery Streppy, how long will his shoulder take to heal? Do you have to stay in hosp?

Thanks for asking Fender, nothing happening here at the moment.

Comms good luck for today.

Hiya, well it turned into a nightmare! Had my waters broken and then in early hours of yesterday had to have an emergency C-section, I am in a lot of pain now but home with baby Jack 9Ilbs 7 :-)
Have broken my phone so wont be able to access emails easily but hope to have it sorted soon.
Hope all is going well with all you ladies waiting :-)

Welcome to this crazy world baby Jack, what a healthy size
Bless you MTB, take it easy and make sure you recover from a very stressful few days for your body (let alone mentally). Take your (painkilling) meds before you need them. It will get better, it's only day one today officially.
Been thinking of you and checking in each day for news. Now the real fun begins :-)
