LO arrived this morning.. at 36 weeks!

nanitchi · Jan 18th, 2011, 05:34 AM

Well.. For those who noticed my previous post... LO arrived this morning!!

I was contracting 5-6min apart around 5:00 this morning (or I thought so?).. Arrived
at hospital and was already 7-8cm. Maybe not even 10min later I was ready to push
and got in the tub. Pushed for 15min and out popped LO.

Let me kid you not... Contractions are bloody painful!!!!!!! Pushing relieves the pain
Considerably, so put all your energy into it. No need to scream if you push!!!!
Nice hot water in the tub is fabulous... And I didn't even tear, doubt that I even got
grazed, wee doesn't sting...
Bleeding is bad.. I'd say 1 always night towel per 2'ish hours... But it is not like
Slaughtering a sheep!!!!!!!!

My LO is at a good weight for 36 weeks, 2.42kg and getting on well.... We need to at
Least stay the night as the Dr wants to be sure LO can suck + swallow properly.

Happy birthday to Courtney Jade!! (18/01/2011 - 7:40)
