[Shelli08]

Would jus like to say sorry for all the complaining and moaning to those who read my threads.My son finally born at 39 weeks (Baby Ryan) weighed 6lb 14oz good luck to everyone xxxxx

congrats to you, and hello baby Ryan

Gonna give us the birth story then? (or are you too tired, bless you!)

ohhh what a nightmare it was!! i had a show at 5.30am on wednesday and was having mild contractions but not regular they were like every 9 mins then 6 mins then 4 etc so i rang del suite & they told me to go in to be checked over but because my contractions werent every 3-4mins i had to go home they said go n hav a bath etc so went home for 2 o clockish wouldnt mind but the hospital is 9 miles away!! so they came regular at around 6pm so made my way back (by the way tens machine really helped at home) got to hosp and i had dilated 5cm so they kept me in. Went on gas n air (how nice!) and i did really well til midnight and then requested some pethidine and that really helped i actually slept between contractions lol then at 2.20am i was in agony and i asked for more pethidine and they said they would break my waters to get things moving and i gave birth at 3.18am with no stitches cos i pushed when told so both me and baby are really well so all those first time mums remember to push when you are told to so you dont tear and i recommend gas and air and pethidine and tens and you will be sorted x

Great birth story! wish I'd pushed when I was told, I just pushed with all my might and baby shot out (and yes, I tore) Glad you and baby are fine, welcome to the world Ryan!

Congratulations

Congratulations! Glad things went so well and no stitches - lucky you - was definately worse than labour for me!

Thanks everyone xx aww why ebb what happened??
