Oh Army, what devastating news. I can't begin to imagine. I'm glad you are ok Raelynn.
Well, I had cramps last night and they were between 3-5 mins after about 2 hours. I went to the toilet for a BM and when I wiped my vjj, I noticed there was blood but no mucus. I rang the hospital just as a precaution and they said to come in as blood should be checked. They thought I would probably be able to go home. In the car on the way, the contractions were getting stronger but manageable. Bubs hb was fine and they thought it was just my show. Midwife checked my cervix but it was completely closed and up high towards the back. As I had a c-sect prev she was concerned that my contractions were so strong but not going anywhere. My ob did a check about 2hours later and thought it best to go a csect. As they were dawdling my contractions increased heaps and bubs was in distress. Meconium in my waters too. My god was there so much fluid! Every time I had a contraction more fluid came out. Crazy! Just wanted the epidural as I was in so much pain. I just wanted to know bubs was ok and hear him cry. Well finally, got the epi, and cut me open and got my baby Jack out. The meconium had apparently been there for a while as his skin was stained. He weighed 3.84kg (8lb 8 I believe).
Very much in love.
