[J_Lynn]

Well, I had my beautiful Allison Hope yesterday at 12:15pm!! She came early, the turkey!

My water broke 3:30pm on Friday and we went to my doctor to confirm and was sent immediately to labor & delivery to have this baby.

I was admitted and started on pictocin as I was only dialated to 3; 13 hours of constant strong contractions and only 3 shorts of mod phone later... I decided to get an epidural as morphine is not something I want my baby born with in her system and I knew since at that point I had only dilated to 5, it was NOT going to be am easy delivery.

And I was right. I got my epidural at Aprox 5:00am yesterday morning and at 9:00am, I was completely dialated - however, she was not dropping on her own. So at 9:00am, I was instructed that I had to start pushing to get her into the birth canal - and then from there push her out. THANK GOD FOR THE EPIDURAL.

At the end of pushing for 2.5 hours, she was not moving. Her head tilted incorrectly and was stuck. So - there was no option but a c-section. We went in, and she was born at 12:15pm on 02/22/2014. The main reason there was no other choice was because while he could hVe let me push and try to get her down far enough for him to use the vacuum (we started no effaced at all and at the end the pushing I was at between 0 and -1, so it wasn't going to happen and she still wasn't far enough down for him to be able to help with the vacuum. So, off we went. It was so quick and I felt absolutely nothing; my husband got pictures and I was bawling hysterically because it still, STILL does not seem like this is really happening. I am a mom. A real mom - like, she is part of me and shares my genetic makeup. It's just something I can't wrap my head around yet - I am convinced I will wake up tomorrow and it will all be dream!!!



6lbs,14oz and 19.5" long

She instantly became my entire world.

Oh, and so far breast feeding has been no issue at all, except on my end because I can't get the "football" hold down and I am having problems getting her to latch right. I will be making that happen tomorrow lol

 

[J_Lynn]

Oh, and I would kill for a shower and the ability to walk around. No joke. lol

Tomorrow morning I have to get up and immediately start walking, and them after I eat a full breakfast and can walk - I get to take a shower!!!!!!!!!! lol

 

[donnarobinson]

Congrtz j_lynn she's gorgeous, sorry about the long labour, least she's here now

Hope u have a speedy recoveryy, and I don't think u ever quite believe there urs, I stil look at cj and can't believe he's mine x

 

[loulabump]

Aww she is so beautiful. Hope your recovery is quick x

No not had anymore, hence the reason I think it's just baby's position that's causing them. Maybe later today, as we're gonna go out to town for a little bit and have a walk around....

 

[HappyHome]

That piece if writing is lovely xx
Congratulations to the new mummies xx

 

[JessesGirl29]

J_lynn she's so beautiful!!!!! I hope you get your shower soon you sound like you deserve it and then some.

My baby party went great yesterday. I made a baked potato bar and everyone seemed to really love it. It was super easy to set up with crockpots....I had all my work friends and all of our common friends so there were two distinct groups but it didn't seem to matter to anyone.

I also forgot to update that I found out on Thursday at my midwife appointment that we preregistered AT THE WRONG HoSPITAL
Can you imagine???? Ugh man.

 

[Jonesbaby19]

Week done cj and good luck today with your appointment with consultant. Maybe he will offer you a sweep with you being SO close and Chad measuring a good size.

I have aquanatal this morning. OBEM start tonight!!! Midwife on Wednesday then Friday official due date wow!! 40 weeks already!

Decided to go with enjoying my last few weeks of pregnancy, stop fretting about when he/she is coming and go back to appreciating having gotten this far and feeling my new little person kicking me from the inside lol. I got caught up in all the early babies, got my hopes up I might go a bit sooner this time lol, but realistically it won't happen xx

And hoping for a week not going to the hospital every day visiting a family member!! But my sister had just got off the phone and she is sounding bizarre and panicked and says she feels insane and is having palpitations hyperventilating etc. Panic attack sounds like but I am off to check yet out
and have contacted her doctor!

Okay back to doctor, she just phoned back and wants to see her asap! My little baby its not ever coming with ask this stress lol xxx
