I just need a handhold waters broke and I'm sat on a hospital bed on my own whilst being monitored, there was a little bit of green on the pad so I'm not going home. Really frightened and hope the baby is okay. Birthing plan conpletely out of the window, I'm a FTM and completely unprepared.

Hi sorry everyone didn't mean to abandon the thread its been a very tiring week but starting to come out the other end.

Its been a week since the birth now on 18th May and it was a pretty rocky ride, my waters went on Friday the 15th as you know however there was a tiny bit of meconium present so wasn't allowed home and DH wasn't allowed to stay. The hospital was very busy as my hospitals maternity ward shut because of Covid so was bounced to another hospital so they had 50% more maternity patients. Was pretty much left to it for 36 hours till Sunday morning (didn't sleep a wink) and told to inform them when contractions were 2 mins apart. By Sunday I'd found a midwife who took pity on me and found me a private room and DH was finally allowed to visit (although not overnight) by next morning Monday, I was finally transferred to a labour room and given an induction I'd been on gas and air plus a tens machine up until this point but by lunch I threw in the towel and asked for an epidural 😅 (they buggered that up first 2 attempts too and had to get the head consultant to do it lol) anyway was being induced but baby just wasn't coming I started the morning ar 3cm and was only 4-5cms by 9pm so had to have an emergency c-section as it'd been 3 days since my waters broke.

Anyway got there in the end and DS is doing fine(although a bit jaundiced) and was a healthy 8pound 4 oz, sorry to have taken so long to reply. DS is currently on the boob and barely lets me put him down at the moment sleep is a distant memory 😅 xxx

Thankyou everyone x
