Well here we are finally i can update u all onmy birth story after spending the past few days in hospital.
well as u might know i was due to be induced at 3:30 on sunday however i went into labour saturday night and hardly slept a wink as i was getting contractions from 10:00pm and they were 10 mins abpart lasting 30-60 seconds and were very uncomfortable. I perserved all night and finally got up with DH at 7:00 we pottered around the house had breakfast and i had a bath and rang maternity unit at 10:00 am as my contractions were now 3-5mins apart and lasting over 30 seconds. They said to have a bath (which i had done) and to come in as soon as i felt i couldnt cope any longer. well i managed to hang on until 12:30pm by then they were coming on to strong. we went to maternity were she did another sweep as i was only 2 cms dilated and transeferred me to the ward as apparently they were busy and i had a long way to go. we got on the ward and i had a private room the contarctions were getting very stong and lasting even longer and i was getting about 2mins between them at about 10 the midwife suggested having a bath to ease the contractions. well i got in the bath and they become constant and very painful i was only getting a minute in between them. i got out and my hindwaters broke the midwife came in and examined me i was 4 cms dilated and was transferred into the delivery suite.
i got to the delivery suite and finally got to try some pain relief i tried gas and air and hated it it was horrbile and i felt spaced out and out of control so tried to cope with out but eventually shouted for an epidural. it all went to fast after that the anesatisit (spelling is so wrong) came down and as i was bending in to a ball i thought i was wetting myself and my forewaters finally broke. before i knew it the epi had kicked in and i felt so much better and relaxed so much before i knew it the midwife did an internal and i was 10 cms and fully ready to push (i went from 4cms to 10cms within a hour)
well after trying to push his head out for about an hour he decided to turn inside me and went back to back and his heart rate began to drop with each contraction so the registar came in and said he needed to take me to theartre and try using the ventouse and i that didnt work he said it would have to perform an emergency c section. by that point iwas exhasted i had been in labour over 24 hours and was knackered.
they got me ready and i went down to the theatre at about 6am. Adam got gowned up and they topped up the epidural and i tried the ventouse but unfortunately Jack pooed inside me so the registar said that he needed to do the emergency c section and before i knew it jack was born at 7:05 am weighing 7lbs 2 1/2oz. we got to have cuddles and daddy held him while i was being stitched up ad before i knew it we was in recovery and Jack had a feed and has been Breastfeeding well ever since and is doing so well and im so pleased to finally be home.
im very sore and tender and trying to get my head around the idea of having a csection but hey we are getting there.
here are a few piccies of my gorgeous little boy for u all x
here he is straight after his birth
