And he is just PERFECT!!!!
My induction started Wed 30th Dec at about 6.30 pm. I thought it was gonna be over a few days and was prepared for the long hawl. Went downstairs to the delivery suite and was given the prostaglandin and was told to sit there whilst being on the monitor and then they would take me back upstairs to sleep as they doubted anything would happen tonight as i wasnt dialated at all.
They kept coming back in and out and the midwife who was looking after me was a bit worried about his heartbeat so she went to get the dr and the dr thought it was cos i had moved. The midwife was really insistant and the dr said ok we will come in in another hour and monitor.
So the hour came and went and as they walked in his heart rate dropped to 88bpm and they checked my pulse to make sure it wasnt my heart and it wasnt. they told me to move on my side and if it was still up and down in an hour they would break my waters.
An hour came and went again and the dr came back and again his heart rate base line had gone down from 160 to 120bpm.
So she said right have some gas and air as i need to break your waters and put a heart beat monitor on his head. The gas and air did nothing but make me feel dizzy! But oH MY GOD that hurt. I was only 2cms dialated aswell.
They thought his cord was coming out first so she checked and she could feel his head. there wasnt much waters that came out.
I started to feel like i needed a wee every 10 mins and every time ui went for a wee i had to be unplugged and walk with this red wire coming out of my minny.
Anyway it got to about 11.40pm and the midwife looked at his heartrate and in 10 mins it had dropped 5 times to below 70.
She said they needed to do an emergency c section as I wasnt even contracting and they didnt want to risk it going so low they couldnt get him back.
So in i went for the spinal. This was scary as i wanted a natural birth and this was not what i had planned for at all. But was sat on the operating table and was given a spinal. It took them about an hour to get it in as i could feel it to the left and then to the right and it needed to be in the middle.
the feeling of not being able to feel your legs is weird. I was numb and even breathing felt heavy in my ribs.
Anyway i started chatting to the anesthatist and suddenly i heard a cry and i was like oh my god my baby>????and i said to my husband.... Mike? what do we have and he stood up and just stared and i was like MIKE? mike what did we have and he burst into tears kissed me and said we have a boy!
I started crying and snorting like a pig hahaha!
He was 6lbs12 and born at 00.43 on 31st dec and 36 cms long...... they predicted an 8lb plus baby at scans.

I got to see him but didnt get my skin to skin i wanted which killed me.
then they rumaged around in my belly for a good hour and all i wanted was to hold my baby boy.
My sister even got to hold him before i did!!!!!

Anyway i was on morphine so i dont remember much but i do remember not being able to move around much and his cot was close enough to see but not close enough for me to touch him all night and i couldnt reach my bell to see if i could cuddle him. so just stayed awake all night looking at him.
My bp dropped to 30/50 when on entering with preeclamsia it was 160/104.
Next day i was still in recovery till about midday and then was wheeled to my own room. I got to hold him then and was in awe!

I cant really remember much to be honest as it as all been a haze but i do know i was really frustrated. But on ALOT of painkillers. When they wear off it REALLY HURTS!!!!
I finally got home on Sunday 3rd Jan. I still cant really do much and thats killing me as I am so independent.
I can honestly say this is the best feeling in teh world.
I cant stop staring at him still and when he looks back and you know you are his world it makes my heart completly skip a beat. I love being a mummy and look forward to every second with him.
