Gonna write short birth story while LO is sleeping :-)

I went to hospital for induction at 9am on Monday 6th Feb. Doctor came in to put pessary around 11-12am can't remember the time, I think it might of been around 11.30am. I ate my lunch and was waiting for OH to come back as he went home for dinner and to clean and shopping. I was monitored and I was having a lot of tightenings but they didn't hurt. OH came back to hospital at 3.20pm and I was having painful tightenings. I asked painkiller from midwife and she gave me two paracetamols. They were total crap and didn't help pain at all. I went and took warm bath but couldn't be there cos I was in pain. I went back to room where OH was just sitting. I sat on a bed talking to him, was having very strong tightenings and was complaining how much they hurt. Then I felt really sharp and painful pop in my tummy and that's when my waters broke. It was after 5pm but before 5.30pm. Midwife checked me and I was so much in pain she called delivery suite and they took me in. There they gave me gas&air (which was shite!) and after a while injection on my leg (morphine if I remember right?). It took all my back pain away but I still had hard contractions on my belly.

They asked me if I wanna have epidural. I was in total pain and was crying so bad I told them yes. After a while they came back and said I couldn't probably have one because there was no person who could do it in there Well for my luck, after sometime midwife came back in and told me some guy is coming to give me epidural. I have no idea what time it was he put it on me. It took all my pain away and I couldn't feel my right leg but I could still feel and move my left one.

I started to feel contractions again on my back around 6am(?) and they got worse after sometime and it just felt like someone was cutting my back with the knife lol. I was crying so bad and said to my OH I can't do it. Other midwife came in, doctor came in. I remember I got this pressure down my bum and I remember doctor checking me and said I can push when I get contraction. I just couldn't handle the pain at all, I started pushing but felt like nothing is happening. I kept saying baby is not coming out (after like 5 mins :haha:) Doctor left, midwife told me to keep pushing when I feel contraction. I basically was in pain all the time so I just pushed when I could cos I was so tired and couldn't focus at all. I started to feel baby's head coming out and after I could feel it it came pretty quickly. Midwife put my hand down there and I touched the baby's head cos I didn't believe the head was out :D Then rest of the body came out really quickly. They put baby on my chest and OH cut the cord. Placenta came out right after.

So, Aliina Lilly (7lb 15oz) was born on 7th February at 8.15am after 24 hours in labor and 30 minutes of pushing. She's absolutely perfect and I just love her so much. She loves to sleep so I can't complain. She also has started to eat breast really good!

And yes, I know, that wasn't short, I got a bit carried away :haha:

Here's my princess :kiss:
