** WARNING LONG** A bit late but i am recovering from a emergency c section so havent had time to write up my birth story but here it is!
Went into Hospital on monday 11.06 to start induction process due to the last dr saying my AFI was high and GD so they would advise inducing before 40 weeks. Which i agreed.
Anyway first propess pessary inserted at 10am and told i wouldnt be assessed till next the morning as it takes 24 hours to work. So settled in but Started having mild contractions which were perfectly ok to deal with.
THrough the night my contractions started becoming a bit uncomfortable and was unable to get much sleep at all.
Tues 10am - checked progessed to nothing! So told i was to have prostin gel applied at 4 pm if still no progress. Contractions still increasing slowly starting to have to concentrate and breathe through them asking for pain killers.
Tues 4pm - Checked again, Still dilated to nothing! starting to lose hope and feeling exhausted from no sleep and the pain i am getting rather emotional. Prostin inserted and contractions kick up a gear.. Hooked up to toco machine and made to sit there for 4 hours, when i then refuse to sit still any longer due to being in agony and needing to move around Feel like my insides being ripped open.
Pain making me move constantly so another sleepless night till 3am when i get really disheartned and in so much pain a midwife gives me some diamorphine, able to sleep for about 2 hours wake up in excruciating pain still.
Weds 7am been asking for pain relief for an hour no one has got back to me i was crying all over the place and when i called people the response i got was not long now refusng to go on toco machine without more pain relief..
weds 9am finally given diamorphine then told i was being checked. Dialted to 1 1/2 centimeters!! Break down instantly so tired and in so much pain cant believe my body is doin this to me. They tell me they are still going to try and break my waters so wheel me up to delivery.
Weds 10am - waters broken and wow! contractions instantly move on to pain i have never ever ever imagined but they wanted me hooked up to toco and told i couldnt move!!! Yeah right!!!! Gas and air and diamorphine im in cuckoo land but still not helping with contractions which are in back and stomach! Told partner i couldnt handle anymore and i needed an epidural if they realistically expected me to sit still for the bloody machine!!! i could have killed the next person who told me to sit still while contracting!
aneasthetist (sp) Come and starts epidural, He clearly is lazy and just wanted to go home, made some comments about me being over weight and then proceeded to bark orders at me and demand i stay still through contractions when it was impossible for me, i had told him i would prefer him to do while i wasnt having one but he didnt listen and rushed through and botched it as i could still feel all my contractions and was starting to think i was actually gonna die! Another aneasthestist came and looked and had to re do the whole epidural which worked this time thank the lord!!
I could of kissed that lady!!!!
After the epi, stayed hooked to toco machine for the rest of my labour as baby heart kept dipping when i had a contraction, which was utterly terrifying at times listening to that machine but he had good accelarations so they werent too worried he was probably just grabbing the cord during contractions.
Weds 7pm Checked again at 3-4 c, really really disheartned now as had been in hospital since monday with no let up of pain and was soooo tired i was falling asleep every 5 mins but kept waking myself snoring lol. Was given the option of a c section there and then as baby hadnt improved and my body was just not responding to anything, decided to wait 2 more hours and then see if we had any progress.
Weds 9pm- still 3-4 decided its time for c section as i physically and mentally could not take any more of it all, i was sooo traumatised by the whole thing its put me off for life.
Anyway My little boy Aiden James Price was eventually born at 10.01pm Weds 13/06 at 8.3lbs.
I dont regret anything but i am so emotional at the thought of my labour that just thinking about it starts me off crying. I have also found out that i shouldnt of even been induced as the dr had mis read my notes so i went through all that trauma and although i have my perfect little man i am so scared now of becoming pregnant again!
Anyway thanks for reading if you made it this far xx
