Well after a 44 hour labour (latent phase was over 36 hours) my beautiful little girl came swimming out in the birth pool on 27/10/10.
it took over 36 hours hours to get to 5cm (before they would let me in the pool) the pool was amazing - in fact it relaxed me a bit too much and contractions stalled so they made me get out. The rest of the labour i was active - on the ball on my knees and on the loo!!
My waters were broken at about 6cm, from there everything happned really quickly - I got back into the pool and wanted to push immediately, I was rexamined and then told i was raedy to go - in 4 or 5 pushes she was out!
We were both shocked to find out that she only weighed 5lb 1oz !! I had a very good bump and had been measuring bang on the line of average.
after the birth they noted that my placenta was also quite small.
She was quite slow to start feeding and wouldnt latch on and so i have ended up expressing and bottle feeding - its abit of a pian in the arse but it seems to be going OK.
She also got a bit of jaundice but is now home and doing well
No-one knows why she is so small, i never smoked drank or ate anything i shouldnt in pregnancy!
if anyone has a similar experience or if they have any innsight I would be very greatful
thanks all
