Daisy - I'm so glad that you had both twins home for Christmas 
LM - I wanted an epidural but I couldn't get off the gas and air long enough to beg for one!
being induced sucks!!
As I'm reading through I've just seen that 5 posted on the time that Jago was born
I find this amusing
Jaz - wow! I can't believe how much hair Isabella has! She's gorgeous
Paula - I hope your baby is here soon
LM - I hope Shannon has started putting on weight :huggles: I know how worrying it is with breast feeding, Tegan lost 10% and was in danger of losing more so I switched to formula at day 10, managed half a day with Jago and he got back up to his birth weight today on day 10.
Right, I have caught up!
Congrats to all the new mummies I have detail in a word doc to update the front page after this post, to all of you still waiting - I hope it won't be long, maybe get into a few arguements and see if that works 
lol...
So, a little story...
Monday 9th Jan I had a massive fight with my OH, told him to leave etc... so it was pretty big, went to my mums for a bit and then pushed Tegs back home in the pram, put her to bed, didn't really make up with the OH and then got into a random fight on facebook. Luke, my OH comes out of the toilet and I say "either I've just wet myself or my waters are going" so I stood up and took my jeans down when I got half way across the front room and there were a few drips, still didn't know if it was pee or my waters, got to the kitchen and there was a little gush, and then as I laughed even more came out.
As I tested positive fro Group B Strep with Tegan I had to ring up L&D straight away, my waters went at 11:40ish pm and we were at the hospital by 12:50am!
I went in, got told I'd be having the antibiotics, had started getting contractions on the way up in the car but they weren't too bad, drip was put in my arm (inner crook of elbow - wtf??) at 1:30 and I was examined just before - 2cms. Half an hour later the drip had finished, I was still strapped to the machines, went and wallowed in the bath at 3:30am and had more contractions.
Back into the room at just after 4 and when I opened the door I heard Luke snoring, as did the midwives who laughed. I got NO sleep that night as everytime I was starting to doze between contractions I was woke up by Luke snoring
Not impressed, and nor was my mum!
At 5:30am I was examined at a stretchy 3 to 4cms. Boo! Contractions getting stronger and was back on the drip for the antibiotics.
At 6 it was decided that I'd be induced to stop the labour being drawn out as I'd had no sleep, so the syntocin was put in at 6:30, contractions then started getting more regular.
Between 8:30 and 8:50am I had 10 contractions 2 mins apart, ouchies! 9:10 I was pushing, wasn't getting anywhere, I was checked and I was only 6cm (whoops!)
Heard the scary term "decelerations" and then told to move onto my left side, half way through moving I ended up back on my back pushing, couldn't get the hang of it for some reason, and I kept panicking and losing my breathing and control because I was getting so scared and hadn't had a let up in the contractions.
Eventually pushed his head out, but it was only a few pushes not as long as I thought it was! And his head was born at 10:19, didn't get another contraction for 2 mins!!! And then pushed his head out while they were tugging to pull him out.
While I was pushing his head out I felt that they had their hands in me and were holding the lip of my cervix down, and at some point during the pushing I had an orgasm
As Jago came out of me he pooed all over my lady bits and he was up on my side, then they were cutting the cord and whisked him away - his head was blue
I was so scared that my legs were shaking, he had oxygen outside the room as the room was dinky that I was given, when I heard his cry I was so relieved.
They had kept turning up the syntocin which made the contractions unbearable, I lost control several times and I wish that I had gone naturally instead of being talked in to being induced, but at least he's here! I have a lot more written down in my birth story and all the crap afterwards where they kept me in as Jago needed 12 hours of obs and I discharged us when they were done as they were very reluctant to let me leave!
Anyway, that's a brief story of my little Jago Jenson He's bottle fed after having 2 feeds on my boobs, I kept asking for help and support and they'd just latch him on and leave me without showing me how to do it, so I went to bottle and it's the best thing I've done! Especially considering my PND.
Oh, and he is so far all clear from the chicken pox! We don't know if it's affected his hearing, sight or anything else yet until he grows up, but so far so good
I will try and come back in more often but Tegan steals my laptop during the day to watch nursery rhymes and we play games for hours on end. Having some attachement issues with her so it's very hard at the moment, she didn't like mummy leaving her, but she's really good with Jago
I hope that everyone who is left to pop have nice easy labours and that you're all holding your babies soon.
Maz - what's your baby girls name??
