So I’m awake and can’t sleep! After pains have kicked in and they are awful! Body just aches so I can’t get comfy. Haha! Hudson is currently sleeping on my chest.

so here is what happened!

I woke up yesterday morning just before 6am. As I rolled over I felt a little trickle but I thought it was just wee but seeing as I woke up I thought I might aswell get up to go to the toilet. On getting up I felt more fluid and with a quick dash I got to the bathroom just in time for my waters to go on the bathroom floor. Got on the toilet only to loose more. Shouted for DH what had happened. Had a wash put on a pad and got in bed. DS3 came through so we snuggled and watched tv. I had a few period cramps and small contractions but nothing exciting. We sent the kids to school so MIL only had to deal with DS3. About 8.30 I called the midwife and she said if no contractions by 6pm to go to delivery suite for monitoring and I’d be booked for induction the next day. Or if I started contracting go in or a change in babies movements etc. By 9am I started getting contractions every 5 minutes or so. Lasting from 30 second to nearly 2
Minutes. By 11am I decided to call MLBU to ask to go in but they were short staffed so I had to go to delivery suite. We got onto the ward about 12.30 she put a cannula in just encase I bled. She examined me and I was 3cm. Was a bit gutted I was only 3cm. By about 1pm my contractions started to change and became more frequent. I got in the bed on my knees and she got me gas and air to help slow my breathing. I started feeling pushy so knew he was close. I managed to get his head out and my contractions stopped but she told me to stop pushing as he had his super long cord wrapped around his neck. Next few contractions he was out! He was a bit shocked but with a good rub he was ok. I had the injection to get the placenta out and it came out ok but she gave me a 2nd injection shortly after as I kept having small gushes. She checked me out and I had grazes but no stitches needed. All his checks have been fine and we got out of hospital about 9pm. They were short staffed and very busy. I’ve got to have compression tights and injections for 10 days as I’m over 35 and have had more than 3 babies (a new thing apparently)

so can anyone guess how much he weighed???

Oh my that’s not too bad hey! Great job!! We don’t have those compression tight and injection recommendations in Canada where I am. I wonder why… I’m 34 and this will be my 4th baby so I’m not long off from that. Still just shy of 2 weeks for my sweep but honestly reading your birth story made me remember contractions and now I’m a bit squeamish haha!! Really need to write down my affirmations because those really help me when I feel the nerves coming.

At least with the breastfeeding Hudson will be getting some of the antibodies to protect him from the cold going through the house and hopefully that will be enough to keep it mild! I am going to be bleaching all the little girls toys and told them hand washing will be way more frequent around this house before the baby comes. So tired of illness being passed around!!
 
@Suggerhoney sorry you’ve all got colds! Never good fun! After pains are awful! They’ve got me shaking in pain!

well ladies I think his size explains why my bump was so uncomfortable and why I got piles so bad this last week ( they are so much better now there’s less pressure)

he is an Impressive 10lb 2oz! Seriously what the hell!
 
@Reiko_ctu i was definitely telling myself while trying to slow my breathing I was getting closer to baby nd trying to breathe away and relax into my contractions. It’s definitely hard in those final stages to hold it all together.

ladies are so amazing! Child birth however it happens is just amazing and us ladies are just awesomely powerful to get that job done!
 
I only take up to 1 month clothes to hospital and he fitted into that just right so just a few wears in that size before his in 0-3. DS3 was 8lb 2oz. I fully expected another 8lber and on my growth chart for bump it was looking like he was following around the same as weight as DD1 at 8lb 9oz but nope his 10lbs! I still can’t believe it!

Oh my I seriously can’t believe that!!! Where was he hiding in that perfect bump of yours!!! Now I’m terrified for baby girls weight lolol!!

you are amazing. Thank you for encouraging all of us all along this journey. So glad your boy is here safe and sound.
 
Wow @Mummy2Corban that is a gorgeous size! I love love love big babies haha!! I’m thinking this one could be 9/10lb as my first was 9lb and he’s on track to be the same if not bigger!

I do hope your recovery is going well and glad your home! These gorgeous babies are coming thick and fast now for cuddles!

Starting to feel very nervous about my section tomorrow! Just arrived at hospital for the last monitoring and then home snd hoping for a nice relaxing day before tomorrow! So many jobs to do!
 
@Mummy2Corban wow what a weight well done mumma! Fab labour story too :)

@Suggerhoney thanks lovely, weirdly it stopped coming away the next day and b/h eased up. But b/h started again last night, very low just over the pelvis. I for the life of me can’t work out which way this girl is facing though, I thought head down but the shapes she was throwing last night in my belly not convinced that is case hahah. Oh and the leg cramps like what the hell…she’s definitely dropped to be putting weight on the legs. 5EE63BE5-B658-4BE8-9EE0-868AE6ABE13F.jpeg
This was last week x
 
@ciz most of the time I wonder of mine is transverse because I often get simultaneous poking and jabs on the far left and right side, but nope each scan and each check he’s still head down still. Makes me curious what position his body is in.

my midwife is so lovely, though I’m not receiving more care from OB she still checks up on me. Rang me today just to have a chat, assured me she still has a Covid vax stashed away and ready and waiting for me, I wanted to wait until I’m not feeling so miserable to have it. So I can have it whenever I decide without needing to book or wait.

I’ve got my 36week scan in just over a week, so will know then, can’t say I’m going to be looking forward them trying to turn her if she isn’t head down :sick:

Is that your 1st or 2nd jab lovely ? I was pleasantly surprised of little no side effects with mine. Sore arm was the worst and bit of headache few days after.
 
@angie90 so exciting your baby will be here tomorrow!! Hope you get all your jobs done then have a nice relaxing evening, however just go easy on yourself and don’t do too much! Hope all goes smoothly :)

I have 5 weeks maximum to go now! My csection is booked for 11th November which is exactly 5 weeks today. Having regular growth scans due to quite a lot of episodes of reduced movements. So things could change but so far baby is looking good and growing great. Seems so long away but I know it really isn’t :)
