Hi ladies

Sorry for being so quiet. Just been taking things a day at a time here. I'm very sore still and have some way to go.

It appears I suffered a amniotic fluid embolism just after Erik was born. This last week has been both a physical and emotional rollercoaster. Just feel so lucky to be here.

Congratulations to you ladies who've had your babies since I last checked in.

Hey ladies,

Can finally announce my little girls birth. Abbie Michelle was born via vbac weighing 8lbs 1oz on 29th April on her induction date.

Induction officially started at 1:30pm when I had a tablet pessary. Should have been checked at 7:30pm but it got delayed as my blood pressure sky rocketed. Was put on a drip to combat it. Finally checked when contractions appeared to start properly and was at 6cm at 8:20pm. Had barely gotten into the delivery room at 8:35pm and immediately had the urge to push. Baby was born via forceps at 9:03pm after deciding that she was coming whether I was fully dilated or not. Only had time for gas and air. Had to be cut but tore as well. Lost about a litre of blood and required a blood transfusion of 2 units after passing out 3 times after birth. Also had an ECG to rule out any heart condition. Only came home this afternoon.

Wow amazing weight! Congrats and well done!
 
Thank you princess. Erik and I are still in hospital. I've just been moved to the maternity ward for continued assessment etc.

Having had a c-section, hysterectomy, dialysis etc my body has taken a battering. Suspect I'll be in hospital for at least another week.
 
Congratulations Miss Babes, sounds like quite a traumatic birth but it sounds like you handled it quite well :) Hope you're recovering well xx

Congratulations Emma! Sounds like a positive birth, hope you're doing well too x

I had my 2nd sweep today, the midwife was able to do it today, said cervix was mid-posterior (so coming forward but not all the way there yet) and I was a good 2cm dilated 3 at a stretch. It was very uncomfortable but she said she gave me a really good sweep. I had some light bleeding after and bit of brown mucus (although I had that following the first sweep)

I went for a walk after and had the odd twinge. After coming home I had pain in the sides of the bottom of my bump and my back, but I didn't think they were contractions as it was constant. I thought maybe I had 1 or 2 contractions (now I'm not sure) and then suddenly... it all stopped. How disappointing! I was beginning to think I would have to call OH home from work early. Now I just feel "normal" (as normal as you feel 9 days over due)

Good news is though the midwife said if I do end up being induced she thinks it's likely to work as I'm already 2 possibly 3 cm dilated. So that's something to take away that's positive. Induction booked for Thursday (40 + 12) .. you never know I might go into labour naturally in the next couple of days but for some reason I'm not feeling optimistic tbh :shrug:

*edit* looking forward to seeing some photos of these april babies! :)

Good luck hope the sweep starts you off! I ended up being induced (had 4 sweeps all together lol!) I was a good 2cm, had the propess and contractions started within a couple of hours so I bet you won't need much to start you off if you do end up with induction! But they're good signs you've had so maybe you won't be induced at all :) either way not long now until you meet your baby now x
 
Congrats Emma on the baby and missbabes I'm sorry you had such a traumatic birth but congrats nonetheless and I hope you have a full recovery. Bekah best of luck to you! I hope you can be home soon!
 
I hope everyone is well!
Jasmine had a weight check today and has surpassed her birth weight! So proud. <3 Her doctor is really impressed with her too. :)
