Hi Girls.
I havent been on in aages as the last 2 weeks have been crazy!
Thomas Iestyn Roy Collins was born on 27th August at 7.15am...weighing a whopping 8lb13. 3 weeks early!!
He is absolutely perfect.
Basically i rang the ward on 25th to be checked over as i was struggling to even walk. They examined me and said my back waters had gone so i had to stay in. On 26th I was induced at 5pm...had my waters broke which showed i had a condition called polyhydramnious, basically too much fluid. I have never seen so much water in my life. Apparently my midwife should have noticed. Then the contractions started, an hour later i was given a hormone drip to speed things along. I was warned the contractions would come fast and hard. I tried gas and air and pethadine and around 11pm was told i was in for a long night. I opted for an epidural, this wore off 3 times. At 6am i started pushing, after 30 mins they used the ventuse, 15 mins later they cut me and used forceps. Im not gonna lie, the aftermath of the cuts have been horrendous but im getting there slowly.
Its definately a shock to the system. He is a little owl an likes to sleep all day and up all night. But i adore him!!
