He's here - Oscar Norman

[mnonie]

On the 4th I spent from 6am till 2pm cleaning the house. About 4:30 I felt a pop and just thought it was my hip dislocating but when I went to the loo, my pants were soaking . Put a pad in but realised it wasn't slowing, so phoned l&d - you've never heard someone laugh as much as being asked "how do I know if my waters have broken". Went in and they couldn't work out if it was my waters had gone :/. Ended up hocked up to a monitor which didn't pick up any contractions, wee oscars heart beat kept dropping and at 1am I was 3cm by 6 I was 7cm but the doctor was really unhappy about oscars heartbeat so I got rushed to threate for emergency c-section. He's 5 pounds 1 ounce and came at 36 +4 weeks. He's stunning, just put him down and heading to bed.

Ps the stockings are horrible and uncomfortable .

Are the stockings something you have to wear post C-section and why? I'm having scheduled one soon (had DD naturally)

I've been told that I should wear the stockings for about 6 weeks to stop clots forming . He's fairly small occurring to the consultants, there wasn't much fluid around him . We got very lucky as no one was actually sure I was in labour , and they normally would have flown us over the the mainland but oscars doing really well (currently fast asleep). X
