Baby girl arrived safe and sound this afternoon at 3.18pm!
Contractions woke me up at 3, dozed then managed an hours work (lol) until 5, when I woke up DP. Bath, and managed to get very painfully to the hospital for 7, when it turns out I was 5cm. Things progressed very quickly, and by half 9/10 I was ready to push...but then nothing progressed. Pushed til 2.30 ish, at which point they decided that baby really wasn't moving down my pelvis, so took me in for spinal and forceps. Only the consultant took one look and said no,too high, emcs it is!
Baby born safely, she had shifted very slightly back to back, was looking upwards instead of down, and weighed a whopping 9lb14.5- no chance was she coming out easy! She was too big to get round the bend in my pelvis.
She has no name yet, is boob crazy and has fed for about 5 hours since 5pm- she's taken to it like a dream. Sent DP home to get some sleep, absolutely over the moon with our not so little girl!
