PAL Summer 2011 Babies - From 1st tri to MC and back again in one go.

[sequeena]

I dunno how long mine was really, about 3-4 hours I think as they said they only consider you in labour whilst on delivery suite...

I have a small second degree tear on the left side and grazes. They did amgood job of sewing me up but it took forever as she was showing a student midwife (Thomas was her 40th baby!!) what to do.

When I delivered it took forever for me to hold Thomas. I had the injection to deliver the placenta but they pulled the cord off.. Was so stressful sitting on a bed pan pushing out something I could t feel, still high off gas and air and freaking out that I was a mother. I was also told if it didn't come out I would be down theatre with a spinal and someone's hand up me fuck that!!!!!


My placenta was awesome. Thick, red and had a lovely thick cord which I tried to cut but couldn't get all the way through. Oh and he switched to he proper head down position for birth!!

 

[Aaisrie]

Apparently that's more common with the placenta injection. I refused mine and I delivered it 10 mins later in tact. I love the feeling of it coming out, like a big glooop lol
If they only counted the time I was in delivery then it would be about 30mins!! I was pushing by the time I got up there and delivered 30 mins later!

I was in birth pool 40 mins and pushing 11 mins before kaydon arrived x

 

[SassyLou]

Just gonna throw it out there, I know I didn't have to dilate as much as you ladies but from first pessary to birth was 2 hours!

I suppose I can't claim the prize though seen as Archie was such a wee man that he came out almost sideways and I still barely felt him!

 

[heva510]

Sequeena I had spinal and theatre twice not as bad as it sounds but still not nice when ur awake x

 

[Aaisrie]

Sarah I think I'd have been dead if Atti had tried to come out sideways!!

 

[SassyLou]

Sarah I think I'd have been dead if Atti had tried to come out sideways!!

Yes, do you remember me saying George was 9lb 13 1/2oz, I wouldn't have liked him to come out sideways!

 

[Aaisrie]

Yup!! Although I was saying to Sequeena earlier that I didn't think Atti's labour was any more painful than Saraya's and she was only 7lb 10oz?

 

[SassyLou]

George's labour certainly wasn't more painful than Harry's (I had syntocinon ?sp) with Harry, George was just ARM! George's labour was very easy to be honest. I took 12 mins to push Harry out and 6 mins to push George out. I do remember George hurt more as he was coming out! It felt like my pubic bone was gonna snap, although the position I was in may have contributed to that!

 

[sequeena]

You girls are mental!!!

 

[SassyLou]

You girls are mental!!!

Why??????

 

[SassyLou]

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GRIFFS AND SEQUEENA!!

I may have had a quick labour but I'm paying for it now with a clitoral tear!

Just read that, OMG, poor you, how on earth did that happen!!!

 

[Barbiebaby]

She had her arm above her head as she came out, little pickle. I had an episiotomy with my son so I'm quite used to the soreness, just hoping it all heals ok.

Here she is...sorry about the none pink blanket, the hospital only provided one kind, and this was her 'straight after birth picture, well after a bit of skin on skin!

Caroline is still in the Ante Natal ward - but is itching to speak to you girls and catch up.

Speak soon

 

[Aaisrie]

Ok so shortest labour is everyone's Even Sassy beats my 12 minute pushing time boooooo I'm just glad it wasn't another 54 hours. If you count the very first twinge it was 15 hours but hospital recorded 4 1/2 for the reason we said above. You'd think nature would have found an easy way though by now wouldn't you

By the way Shall I set up the parenting group now???

 

[Aaisrie]

Yeaaaaaa

And if you counted every twinge then mine would have been 3 days spurious labour!!

 

[SassyLou]

BG she is beautiful, Congratulations to you both xxx

 

[heva510]

Aww she's beautiful x
