Hi girls,
I've now got my second gorgeous little man with me. Had to be induced early as he stopped growing. I was very small, only measuring 30cm at 38 weeks. Had a growth scan at 35 weeks and Thursday the midwife sent me for another for the next morning. That scan confirmed that something wasn't right so was told to go home, fetch my stuff and come back. I was given prostin at 10.45 and was contracting very mildly 6 hrs later so didn't need 2nd dose. Established labour started once they broke my waters, lasted 2hr 20 and then 10 mins pushing. He's a very small 5lb 4 but good vitals and feeding well. Hoping we can go home tomorrow and he can meet his big brother. As he's small he's on 3hrly obs and we have to wait for the paed dr to sign him off.
Very different experience to last time, I was 100% in control the whole time and didn't even need gas and air. Rick called me his little zen warrior!I feel great, I can pee without it stinging and I'm not walking as if someone stole my horse ha ha.
We've called our little man Oakley Andrew Kidd. Born 22.10.10 (exactly 18 months after Cooper) @20.45.
All I need is the woman next to me to stop snoring like a bloody pig and I might be able to get some sleep!!! xx
I'll add a photo when I can (don't know how from phone)
