I was posting on here for a while moaning because i was diagnosed with GD and was told i was being induced at 39+5 on the 8th september (tuesday)
So i had a sweep on the thursday and nothing happened except mild period pains that day, friday had contractions every 10mins then saturday it all stopped!
was woken up at 5:45am on the sunday (6th) in agony...contractions every 3-4 mins, phoned my mum as she was my birth partner along with dh. Went to hospital at 8:30am and was told i was 3-4 cms. contractions were coming very strong and fast about 11:45 i was examined again and was 6cms although i wanted to push. Really wanted an epidural but was told there was a delay. Tried gas and air and hated it, hate feeling sick, so i gave up with that! 1:30pm i REALLY needed to push but was in so much pain i didnt (dunno how that makes sense)...during this the midwives were panicking cos babies heartbeat had been dipping VERY LOW since about 10am so a probe was fitted to babies head and from 10am i was on the bed and not allowed to move cos babies heart rate was alot better with me led down, it was agony having to stay still!
Anyway at 2:12pm i started pushing and after 4mins and two big pushes baby was here! took longer for placenta which took 9 mins!
so baby was passed straight to me and hubby attempted to cut the cord...he had been given blunt scissors!
10 mins later i decided to have a look and see what baby was and it was a GIRL!!! I now have a ds and dd! absolutely over the moon!
during thsi cuddle time the midwives were fiddling down there (haha) and found out i had a prolapsed cervix because it all hapenned so quick! was made to sit still for 3 hours with legs crossed! 3 hours passed and was examined stood up and sat down everything seemed fine!
4 days after the birth felt funny like something was poking out, my mum had a look (trained nurse) and she popped whatever it was back in! saw midwife next day and she said it was a cystocele (bladder poking into my fanjo) nothing more done except told to rest and keep eye on it!
so here i am 13 days later everything seems to have gone back in place but im pretty sore down there, not sure why no stitches etc but was told possible graze after i had her so might be that!
but after dd scaring me with her very low heart rate and my fanjo problems everything is fantastic, took 2 and a half years and 2 miscarriages to get her here and im loving every second of it!
so dd born 6th september at 2:16pm weighing in at 6lb 10oz!
