Well, what can I say. Bubba arrived at 06:37 and was 56 cm long.
Labour was shockingly quick.
I went into hospital Fri evening at about 11pm. The midwife could not find my cervix and had to give me an enema. Bubba was pushing down but I was only 50% effaced so he was going nowhere and contractions were every 5 mins. I was given pethidine and advised to sleep as this could take up to two days.
I was transfered to the ante natal ward and OH was sent home.
The pains were too intense however and I was in tears with the prospect that this was not labour and kept thinking how much worse can it get?!?!?!
I was talking to a student MW later and explaining how I felt, amongst the shouting and she then checked my cirvix again and found I was 4cm (after just 2 hrs
) Oh was called back in as things were going so fast. Just as well, we live close.
4 hrs later I pushed my LO into the world, he was delivered by the student MW, who qualifies next month and was fantastic, I could not have asked for better.
Oscar unfortunately did not take to the breast but is very happy at homenow cwtching daddy.
