Well I went into hospital on monday for my induction it got a bit busy in delivery so ended up with pessaries but not every 6 hrs like they are supposed to. they were also worried about cord prolapse becasue of the excess fluid so was worried as anything
Wednesday - 8 am went down for 3rd pessary to find was 3cm dialated ans she broke my waters it was such a shock i didnt expect it at all ( was on gas and air when they did it) as soon as my waters broke my contractions started coming every 3-4 mins started on the gas and air and it got really painful, it got tp the point where i was begging for an epidural, is something i really didnt want to do at all but i was in so much pain and her heart was racing too as i was struggling, they got the anethetist in but he struggled as the contractions were about 1 min apart and i was 5 cam dialated.
aaah the relief was instant and amazing, were laughing after as i said how did women in medievil times cope i had absolutely no paon and tbh would recommend it anyone and agony as its not worth trying to be a warrior
got to 1.30pm and kept feeling pressure in my bum so told mw who checked and I was 10 cm dialated !!! i said to my OH she will be here by 3pm i tell you
I still had some feeling so was able to start pushing where we started getting decelerations so they asked me to stop they had to make as small cut on her head to check her oxygen levels in her blood and they were normal, so continued to push, not feeling a thing. then she started to get decelerations again. so the repeated the fetal blood test and was below normal and showed she was struggling. the consultant decided to take me in for a section. they asked me to keep pushing as she was nearly here and could see her head and while they sorted everything out to keep pushing.
then all of a sudden I had started to feel contractions again and they were on top of each other i had about 15 people in the room from midwives to surgeons to consultants and peadiatricians. SOMEONE HAD KNOCKED OUT MY EPIDURAL LEAD OUT !! I was in agony and had to use to the gas and air constantly they were making me drink stuff as sign stuff i didnt know what was going on they then wheeled me in to theatre and topped up my epidural.
My OH couldnt come in as felt really faint they quickly got her out, no pain at all just a bit as the washing up feeling and tugging. I started to panic at this point and said the aneathetist she isnt crying he kept saying it takes a while i was really upset felt like a lifetime and said she still isnt crying he said just wait then that cry OMG was a relief i was so happy, he just kept saying can your hear her !!
My OH was in recovery with her and asked them to get my mum to go down while they stitched me up. they wheeled me in and had some skin to skin with her and then got taken to the ward
That evening she had problems keeping her blood sugars up and ended up in SCBU for a few days until she picked herself up
sorry for the long birth story and a few picture of her, I am so happy and proud and so happy that Kristian looked after us for the last year
Love both my babies so much, she is the double of him xx
ETA: she was 9lb 1oz born 9th June at 14:53 55cm xx
