AFter all the chaos with my waters breaking last friday Chloe is fiannly here. Here is our story
On friday july 18th I woke to water leaking, phoned hospital and went in, I was told that it wasnt my waters and sent home. It continued all weekend and I went back on Monday 21st and was told my hind waters had gone adn I would need to be induced as it had been so long since they went. Sent home to get stuff and went back that evening. By 11:30 I'd not seen anyone at all and decided to come home to get some sleep and we went back in the morning.
I was given the gel to start me off at 10:15 on tuesday morning, contractions started very quickly and by 2pm I was having contractions every 8 minutes. By 7pm I was contracting every 5 minutes and was 3cm dilated so was taken to have my fore waters broken. They did not want to go and it took half an hour of a midwife on all fours tugging at them. Everything went very quickly from there and by 7:45 I started on my gas and air and bouncing on my birthing ball. Then they took my blood pressure.
With bp of around 140/100 I was immediately hooked up to a drip, bp monitor, fetal heart monitor and couldnt move. I had to stay flat on my back for the whole labour and was given medication to bring bp down which made me violently sick.
Bp wouldnt stabalise and contractions coming thick and fast they were worried I was going to fit and started talking about epidural and c section. I kept going with just my gas and air and it wasnt long before I started to push.
Chloe Amy was born at 01:33 on 23rd july weighing 6lbs 12.4oz. The whole thing was quite traumatic for me as it was not how I wanted it and was unable to move for the whole time. But I'm so pleased I did it with just gas and air and no stitches!!
Here is the gorgeous girl!!
