One Born Every Minute 24/1

Here we are then

Seems wrong.

Yes expat I agree.

I was admitted at 4cm (though my waters had gone already)

My internals were all OK too. To be honest, the only bit of labour I remember hurting was the injection for the local before I had an episiotomy. I know the rest of it hurt, but I don't remember it. I just remember the needle feeling like a red hot poker!
Here's hoping I have a baby with a slightly smaller head this time around...

maybe she lives v close

Not crying in a bad way I mean petitdonkey,obviously some babies are calm and have good apgars at birth. I have been runner in theatre for a few births and always held my breath. It's lovely though seeing births, couldn't hack the midwife thing though,v stressfull. I love this prog.

lol Shalli

We've never seen anyone sent home on this prog before have we? They're normally all sitting around for what seems like ages with nothing happening!

Anathema - funny, I barely felt that

I didn't think they would send you home at 4cm either... Maybe it's because she said her cervix hasn't thinned out much as well?

Maybe she wants to go home?

Can so sympathise - sent away and no lovely pain relief.

After being sent away I nearly delivered in the footwell of the car, except he got stuck (hence why blue)

Not sure why Princess Anne Hosp agreed to this as they are laying themselves open for criticism. We all feel that giong home 4cm with 2nd baby after an awful first birth is not on!

\where's Old Skool when you need her?

I feel like I have missed out on so much labouring watching this, like ive been robbed! Think I need to talk dp into having another!

My internals weren't too bad. I remember feeling better when they did one so I knew how far along I was.... it's no more painful than the rest of the labour, or so I found.

Late to procedings.

The sister seems lovely!

Being sent home does seem a bit odd. I went from 0-fully in about an hour with DC3.

That does seem a bit wrong to send the poor girl home, that'll really affect her won't it.

Hope Heart Baby Lady gets her miracle... x

Blimey KC

Am I the only one screamimg please don't risk cardiac ladies life and make her have a VD....

Can't believe she's been sent home! Both my dds births were like the first one... blue, cords round their necks, silence that felt like forever. 'Tis the worst feeling in the world, but maybe it makes that first eventual cry all the more fantastic.

Go Wayne.

You've read all the books, haven't you?

As an aside, is it true that there is a contractions app for the iphone?

God I hated those car journeys ... owwww

I can't believe they sent her home i was given pain relief at 3cm (induction maybe pain is worse??)
