Hey Girls
Sorry I haven't been around, Thursday at 11.30 at night I went to the bathroom where my waters broke with blood in them.
I was admitted to hospital as I have strep b so they had to induce labour medically!!
So I used my tens machine all the way up until I had to get an epidural. The meds I was on gave me contractions of the same strength as being ready to push but my cervix would not dilate as the meds made me hyper sensitive and messed with my bodies ability to cope. The midwives couldn't believe I'd only used tens up till the point where I needed the spinal and epidural.
Needless to say after 20 hours of painful unproductive labour I had no feeling - started trying to push but baby's heart rate dipped.
Went into theatre where they used suction cap which failed then they used forceps and managed to get baby out. They had to cut me and because baby moved its head at the last min I tore a bit!
After a complex labour I have a beautiful baby girl Amelia who weighed 7lb 9oz.
We only got back from hospital late last night (no wifi)
Hope you are all ok - sorry for wanting on about me xxx
