Due May 2008 - ummm, there are are some of us still here sir???!! [hmm].

[goodcatholicgirl]

Not sure if anyone else has started a new thread as our other one ran out of room, but here we go...

Went to hospital for CTG monitoring and ultraound: everything looks ok. Cervix is soft, is 2cm effaced and 1 1/2 cm dilatd, so SOMETHING is happening. If he's not here by Thursday they'll induce. I have to be at the hospital at 7.30 in the morning! Hopefully that means he'll be delivered by Friday 13th - I don't fancy giving birth on that day...

good news ampster at least things are moving in the right direction..

Well...congrats to all who've had....and sending loads of labour dust to those who are waiting.....sooooo remember how fed up I got waiting and the texts/calls!!

Hope you are all well though x

COME ON OUT YOU BABIES

XXXXXXXX

Im thinking of you all xxxxxxxxxxxx

Novicemama and ZaMmummy Congartulations xxxxx

Looks like 4th June was a busy day !! xx

Birth Announcement!

Peter William was born Wed 11th June at 18:15pm a healthy 8lb 6oz and 56cm long.

I had a sweep Monday am, then gel Tuesday night for which I was kept in hospital due to slightly high blood pressure. Contractions started 4:45 am. Tens machine got me through the morning plus a walk around the hospital grounds. My waters were broken at 12:30 and proceeded to flood out with contractions as I walked around the grounds again (with DH). as I was 4cm dilated the midwife recommended warm bath, paracetamol and codeine on my return but during my 40 mins in the bath the contractions went off the scale in terms of intensity - I wanted to eat the bath with the pain! I begged for more pain relief and I was allowed to get out and get some gas and air. After 30 mins of that they were set to move me to another room where i could get 1 to 1 care from a midwife and consider epidurals etc. Before they did, the midwife did another exam and exclaimed with some surprise "you're fully dilated - you're going to have the baby now!" at which point I relaxed and Peter arrived soon after.

2nd degree tear needed some stitches but otherwise no drugs or pain relief except the gas and air and tens., I was v scared in the bath because I was under the impression I still had many hours to go and I didn't think I could cope with any greater pain. It was hard on DH at that point because he could see I was in agony but the midwife was attending her other lady in labour and we were on our own with him bailing warm water over me. I think they underestimated how far advanced I was.

Funny moments - me leaning over the seat having contractions, wiggling my bum to Mika "BIg Girl you are beautiful!" on Radio 2. Bit disappointed the promised cd player didn't exist in our room so instead of my carefully chosen CDs I had Steve Wright and Chris Evans...but could have been worse.

Finally! I was induced too! On 12th June. They broke my waters and put me on a drip at 11am. Contractions / epidural / pushing and he was out by 8.10pm. No external tears or instruments needed for delivery, small tear inside that required 2 stitches. Jimmy is lovely and healthy, 7lb 7oz.

Unfortunately the placenta wouldn't come out by itself so I had to have surgery to remove it immediately after the birth. While I was under I apparently had a postpartum haemmorhage and lost nearly 3 litres of blood (normal loss is 1 litre) so had to have a blood transfusion the next day. Fun fun fun! But whatever, Jimmy is here now and he's beautiful.

Childbirth, btw, was brutal - even though my delivery was straightforward and quick for a first time. Now I finally understand what everyone's been going on about. After the birth I looked at my (brilliant) midwife and said 'That was awful.' She replied 'I know. But you'll soon forget.' But that's what I'm afraid of - that I'll forget, and do it all again.
