Ladies!
Baby Shea Antony Rodriguez-Keegan arrived yesterday 3rd of July at 3.03 weighting 3.3 kilos. We are both very well. My waters broke Sunday night after baby shower on sat and a lovely picnic by the river. We are staying in hospital for a couple of days due to diabetes.
Labour was fast but got very painful so went for epidural! Which was amazing... I honestly take my hat off to women that do it without. It did make it diffilt to push and slowed the contractions a bit which meant I had to have the syntosium and the ventouse.
Had 3 tears which meant I bled more than normal so there was like 20 people in the room all of a sudden scary times. My midwife was an angel and the doctor was young and handsome which helped although half way through getting baby's head out I wanted to kill him!!! (Hahaha) had a strong desire to kick him.
He dealt with it all well and explained everything 5 times as I was out of it.
Funny my mum eneded up being with us as she was worried about us due to being 3 weeks early and justa arrived at the hospital and refused to leave us. DH welcomed the support and she was amazing, I was in too much pain to. Care at this point and having them there meant they drove us back and forth from the hospital. All my fears of having to managed her were unfounded she was brilliant at supporting me and DH. And after the scary birth we needed the extra person to ask the questions neither of us thought off. When they took me to recovery she also kept fussing and noticed I was swollen all over and told the midwife and My DH to ask and insisted I get checked out. It turned out to be an allergic reaction to the drugs and they had to immediately give me more to counteract them.
So without mama bear these things could have slipped through the net of a 1000 doctors!
That's all from me for now ladies.
@luci silence is promising fingers crossed for her.
@not wish you a speedy recovery.
Best for all of you.l and impending births.
