@LostMyBaubles hows things?

LostMyBaubles · 23/08/2018 13:39

Imx0
Had my baby on the 21st
The first pessary did f.a (around 11pm sunday) went in at 2cm and was still that when ever they checked
Had another pessary around 6am on the day
His heart rate was too fast, i was contracting too much and nothing was happening.
There were 5 before me to go to delivery for waters to be broken but due to hos heart rate not settling I was sent first.

In delivery contractions were very painful but not long enough so waters were broken and drip up.
Had gas and air and PCA- remi like small doses of morphine to help with pain

I kept telling mw I need to push she checked and I was only 5-6cm but do what your body needs to do. Seconds later i bled and was fully dilated.

His heart rate kept dropping so dr and senior mw came in.

Baby was in wrong position and wasn't coming down fast enough so dr was moving him from inside to get him out quickly thankfully without instruments.

He was born less than 12 hours after the second pessary
I lost around 500-600mls of blood at delivery

Had to have the contraction drip up for another 4 hours after delivery to stop/ reduce bleedimg which bloody hurt

He didnt feed much first few hours but hes makimg up for it now

Little bundle of perfection ❤
Totally in love ❤

Oh goodness sounds like you had a time and half of it but at least he is here now how is he? And weight? Any names?
I have a grumpy bum on my hands who is overtired but refuses to nap atm!!but apart from that she is great and bow weighting 8lb8oz 😊

How's everyone getting on? Congratulations to everyone who's welcomed their babies, some beautiful names!

Thea Rose is now 5 weeks old and I can't believe where the time is going! It's like she was always here though. She's definitely growing into a little chunk and is interested in the world around her. She's adored by everyone that knows her :)

But my oh my, it's hard work isn't it?! I have a really good support network and have moments where I struggle so I can only imagine e how hard it is for those going it alone. I don't know what I did with all the time I had available to me before!

We had issues with colic for a couple of weeks which was awful but the MAM bottles have cured that, her latest thing is to completely fight sleep for up to 2 hours but she does sleep well once we get there.

LostMyBaubles · 23/08/2018 14:35

Hes fantastic, doing well, feeding well etc
He was 8lb5 at 37+4 weeks
Will be weighed again on Saturday

All that worry for nothing

He's still baby Bear atm lol
