And he's a boy! Alfie Hilton born yesterday via emergency c section weighing in at 7 pounds 14. And I'm completely in love!
Awful birth story so il keep it short and as sweet as I can.
Went into labour Monday morning with bad cramps, mostly in my back as baby was back to back. Lost my mucus plug and for some reason just knew I was in labour even though everyone else was telling me otherwise... Early hours of Tuesday morning my waters broke in bed at 1am. They came pouring out and wouldn't stop, I was shaking with shock!
Went to labour and delivery and spent hours there. I was in unbelievable pain but wasnt even a centremeter dialated so they sent me home which I was not happy about.
I got home and a few more hours passed. I was on all fours crying my eyes out because the contractions were so bad. There was only a minute between them so off I popped back to labour and delivery. They refused to give me anything for the pain because I had only progressed to 1cm. Honestly don't think I've hated people more in my life than then haha!
Off I went home, back to labour and delivery an hour later where I told them that something must be wrong because I physically couldn't handle it anymore. They told me they still couldn't do anything but admit me to the ward and keep an eye on me but once again said I was better off going home. I refused to go home and asked to be put on the ward.
3 hours later I went to 5 cm and was established in labour, I immediately asked for an epidural because I couldn't take the pain. I was NOT happy with the response of 'this is still going to hurt you know, even with the epidural, it's time you stopped thinking about yourself and thought about baby' as you can imagine when I was in that much pain I did not take it lightly.
Anyways I'm babbling, got the epidural. Took a few more hours to get fully dialated. When I started pushing it didn't take me long to realise something was wrong. After an hour and a half of pushing I was no further forward. I know my own body and kept telling then something is wrong I physically can't do it. They just thought I was panicking and giving up. It was really frustrating me that they wouldn't listen.
I was eventually rushed to theatre for an emergency c section. Babies heart rate was dropping drastically.
I was given a spinal and off they went, because baby was so low in the birth canal it was a risky procedure, it took quite a while and because of the position he was in they tore my bladder getting him out.
Things took longer than expected because of all the damage to my insides but then I finally got to see my baby and have my oh tell me we had a little boy. I love him so much. And if that was the way he had to come into my world then I'm fine with that. Here's a little picture of him

Oh and the surgeon performing the c section has came to see my so many times to apologise for all the damage done. I'm just so grateful she got him out safely. I have to have a catheter for a while and healing will take longer than normal but I'm still so happy. She also apologised about not listening when I told her something was wrong and that she didn't realise the baby was physically stuck and it would have been impossible to push him out.
What an ordeal!
