Oliver Scott arrived 30th October at 8.26pm weighing 7 pounds 5 ounces!
He scared mommy and daddy with his heart rate dipping a few times and nearly had to be wheeled away for a c section, but luckily he was born very happy and healthy! Mommy needed stitches for a second degree tear, and iron levels dropped so low they wanted to give me a blood transfusion but have let me go with a high dose of iron and check ups to follow.
It wasn't a bad induction experience, I had the propess at 10.30pm on the 29th, my waters broke 6.30am the following morning after that contractions came fast 6-8 in a space of 10 minutes! (Which didn't help his heart rate!) I got wheeled to delivery at 3cm dilated so I could get pain relief and they weren't happy with his heart rate.
Monitored his heart the whole time and at one point I felt like I was going to faint and was out of it. Then heard the heart rate drop very low and apparently they had a team outside the room ready to wheel me to theatre if the heart rate didn't improve in a minute. After an injection to slow the contractions down the heart rate shot up and I felt more alert and awake again.
A while later I felt urges to push and my body even pushed against my will and I panicked a little again. They didn't check how dilated I was for a while but when they did they said 'oh he's got a lot of black hair!'
So an hour later (I didn't have proper pushing urges consistently for the first twenty minutes so only did smaller pushes) he was out!
I was amazed by the instant pain free feeling I got the second he popped out and was placed on my chest! My boyfriend was amazing throughout, very supportive, just held my hand which is all I wanted him to do, he didn't panic and I had no idea how bad it actually got until the other day when he told me about it all!
Incredibly tired, and sore but I'm so glad my baby boy is finally here and he arrived happy and healthy
