Not such good news for me yday at the private scan - baby is quite small on my growth chart although on their average chart he didnt seem so small.....its all so confusing. Have an appointment at 10.10 tomorrow at the hospital for growth scan, iv a feeling they will just say they will monitor it and send me on my way which terrifies me.

Hope you are all well

Here are some more pictures and my birth story if anyone is interested.

Spoiler

I went to my doctors appt on Thursday March 10th. They did a growth scan and estimated baby to be 9lbs 5oz, which was concerning to them as the biggest baby I have delivered was 6lbs 6oz. So when I went to see my doctor I was a little suprised when she suggested inducing me the next day! I was expecting it to be at 39 weeks, which would have been Tuesday March 15th. So I hurried home and called everyone and got babysitters etc set up. I took something to help me sleep the night before, since I knew I wouldnt get any sleep otherwise. I still ended up waking up at 4am. Took a shower, had a light breakfast, and called L&D to see if they had room for me. I was soooo disapointed when they said they were very busy and they would call me later in the day. Well after several more phone calls back and forth, and them telling me I might have to wait for the next day, I took a small nap. I woke up and realized my phone was not in a service area. So I hurried and called them back and they said to come in right away! So we hurried out the door. When we got to the hospital I went up to the room, I was worried they would send me home again if I didnt hurry. Hubby got the kids off with the babysitter and him, my 11 year old son, and my cousin came up to the room. By then the doctor had already been in and broke my water. I was 2cm dialated when she broke it at approx 12pm. They then started an IV and started fluids and pitocin. For the first hour I was feeling fine, besides losing huge amounts of fluid. It was rather funny, because my husband who watched the whole birth with no problem, was actually gagging at the sight of the amniotic fluid. After that I started to get small contractions, nothing horrible. Then they started getting more uncomfortable. I asked for some IV pain meds, and they helped me to relax and breath through them better. Then it started to wear off, so I asked for the epidural. I have a history of the epidural not working at all for me, but I wanted to try it again. Once he was done the pain in my stomach from the contractions slowly went away. At this point my son and cousin were in the waiting room. I was still feeling some pressure below my waist, but I could breathe through it. Everyone eventually left the room besides my husband. Then the pressure started getting really bad. They had to turn the pitocin off because my body was overreacting to the pitocin. I was having way to many contractions, with barely any rest inbetween. When I received my epidural I was 4+cm, when I started feeling the pressure she checked me again and I was 7cm. This was within about 20 min. Then everything is kind of a blur. I was in so much pain, I could feel everything and the epidural was not working at all anymore. Next thing I know my husband was running down the hall for the nurse and she was calling the doctor for delivery. The doctor got there and checked and I was 9cm, she set up then I was 10. Then I started pushing and it was horrible. I had about 10 sec beak between each contraction, and I had to push with each one. The babies heartbeat was dropping down to 90 because he had no breaks from being squeezed. So they put oxygen on me and a vacuum on his head. He was finally born at 408pm weighing 8lbs 7oz. He was very pale when he was born and the NICU had to come down and stimulate him, but he was fine after that. I ended up having 2 small tears that had to be stitched. Sorry so long! Congrats to anyone who read all of this!

Sounds like you did well. Sorry the epidural didn't work - I had the same issue with my third and it was horrific. It's horrid when their heart drops isn't it? Sophia kept dropping to 40 and I was shitting myself that she was ill.

He is lovely xx

Debs is hoping to be home today and sends her love to all. Sorry I didn't manage to get online yesterday to post

Hello everyone,

Well finally got around to coming to show you Brody.

It was quite honestly the worst experience I've ever had...! The sister in charge of hte labour ward was the most horriblest woman EVER!!!! I won't go into too many details as I dont' want to scare others, but I will be companing about the treatment we got from the hospital.

I ended up having a PPH afterwards and have been quite weak and ill from it all... feeling better now though.

So here he is: Brody Hunter arrived on 14th March 11' @ 4:11pm weighing it as 8lb 7oz and 57cm.

 

[roonsma]

Congratualations Hun, sorry to hear you had a shite time-it just shouldn't be like that. He's lovely, well done xx
