Isabella was born yesterday morning at 6:24 am weighing 7lb 7oz https://i67.tinypic.com/25yx6c8.jpg:flower:


Labour went like this :

I have no idea when the pessary started to work but 12 hours after it was put in I started to get painful cramps (just before midnight on Saturday), I was given codeine and paracetamol which did nothing so at 1 am I was examined as 2-3 cm and given diamorphine, I was re-examined at 5 am because the cramps were horrendous and were 3 mins apart and I was 5cm so sent down to labour room.

I asked for an epidural, they said fine, called anesthetist who took 3 goes to the bloody drip in my hand, they really made a mess! they insisted on breaking my waters first and things went crazy, I started getting the urge to push 20 minutes later and when they checked I was 10cm already and them telling me it was too late be given one now, cue chaos and me in full panic because yet again I was in labour and feeling out of control. They said that my pushing wasn't enough because her head was too high and it would have to be a csection because her heartrate was dipping. I was sat up in theatre for just over half an hour but it felt much, much longer whilst they tried to get the spinal in but trying to keep still in between horrendous contractions/pushing down involuntarily is impossible :dohh: they then decided her head was low enough to attempt forceps, by then the epidural kicked in and I couldn't feel a damn thing so had to be told when to push.

It worked thankfully and she got here okay but I was in recovery for 2 hours and can barely remember much. I am very much done with it, I can't go through it all again, 2 kids for us! I got home late last night as I couldn't face another night in hospital. I spent my time in recovery crying because I felt like my body had failed me completely, I felt really guilty that I needed forceps to be used on me yet again, horrible dejavu.

I hope things are going smoothly for Jalima :hugs:

Rhi and Lavo - I hope you're both doing well :hugs: hopefully something will happen soon for you guys :dust:

Pixie - I hope the weigh in went well :) so cute she's now smiling! :cloud9:
 
Mommy - I had gushes that would soak through my trousers when my bleeding was dying down it didn't smell though (and everything has settled in that area now). Let us know what they say.

Still no smiles here but I'm desperate for one lol. I know it's something they look for at the 6-8 week check which is tomorrow. Anyone know what happens if she's not smiling? Will we have to see the gp again or just keep an eye out (ie just be completely forgotten about in my experience)?
 
Beautiful little Isabella! Congratulations vanilla. I'm sorry that it didn't all go as planned but I'm so pleased that you're both ok. <3

Arthur is a cutie Boo, I'm sure I've said that a million times already lol Damn these cute babies :haha:
 
Vaniilla congratulations! I'm sorry the birth was difficult (seems to be the trend with these June babies!) But I'm. So glad she's here safe and sound. Have they checked on the thing they were concerned about with her esophagus?

Dory I'm sure it's up to 12 weeks they should start smiling. I'm not convinced G has tbh, Carl and my sister are sure she's been smiling but I'm on the fence. She's definitely looking and listening to us now which is lovely, and reassuring! Hearing test is this Thursday..

No weigh in :-( the HV called in sick! Baby clinic was on today till 11.30 but they didn't call to cancel till 1 so I missed it:-/

Dory did you make an appt at the Dr's or did they send you a letter?
 
Thank God Joey it's not just me. They think bacterial and will need abx I go in at 1230.

Congrats vanilla! She's perfect!!!!


Dory yikes luckily it's not soaking or omg I'd smell like rotting garbage!

I'm sorry you missed the weigh in, is there another baby clinic soon?

They did, they did her newborn checks and throat check at the same time in the nicu bit and it all went well thankfully.
 
Vanilla- Congrats shes is adorable :) I'm insanely jealous!
Sorry it didn't go differently but glad you are both okay :)
 
That's great news! I'm so glad everything was fine :)

Mommy hopefully the antibiotics will clear everything up in no time :hugs: are you feeling well?
 
A huge congratulations Vanilla. She is a beauty. Xx

Mommy, I hope the infection clears quickly you poor thing. Xx
 
I'm being admitted for induction! Waiting for a bed now as I've got high blood pressure and 2+ protein that has appeared from nowhere.
So nervous! Sorry Rhi and Teeny <3
 
Oh congratulations vaniilla!!! She is beautiful :cloud9: sorry it didn't go exactly to plan :(

Good luck lavo!!!!
 
Congratulations vaniilla - I'm so sorry it wasn't a positive birth experience but you got your little girl here safely.

Good luck Lavochain I hope it's smooth and quick.

Mommy sorry about the infection - I hope it clears soon.

Casey had is 1 week weigh in today and is now 9lb 4oz so has put on 2oz. He doesn't spend long at the breast so was worried he wasn't getting enough but so far so good. He has a sticky eye so they've taken a swab. I'm having my urine checked as I feel 'odd' down there I don't think it's my stitches but will keep an eye on it.
 
That's awesome lavo!

So they didn't give me anything. Sent me for bloodwork and said well go from there. Did internal and said looks fine so they're stumped as to why I'm having the smell.
 
Ohh hope you're okay lavo. No need to be sorry! Good luck.

I am sad I am all alone now. Well once teeny goes off to have her baby ahaha which can't be long(fingers crossed). I did jokingly say this would happen months ago. I didn't think it would be just me though with potentially two weeks left!..... =( even the July thread has babies in it. How depressing.

Mums of more than 1 - I can't remember what it was like with ds and can't remember if it's supposed to get worse, but what are your after pains like? I keep getting sore contractions throughout the day.
