Good luck first.timer and all you ladies in labour, inductions, having c-sections etc etc..
On September 4th, 2011 I finally gave birth to my little boy after 29 hours of labour! He is 7lbs 7ounces, lots of black hair and so beautiful he takes my breath away.
After a 2 day hospital say I am finally home and loving it. He is already a boobie monster..
It was a very intense labour.. got stalled at 7cm, after close to 24 hours.. was induced to bring contractions back..no pain relief through the whole labour, turns out I had a fever, though they didn't want to tell me. As I went into the pushing stage, baby boys heart beat dropped really really low, so they did a quick cut down there (oww.. no time for a local!!) and then i pushed for all I was worth and out he popped!
They had to take him off right away, but he came right back as he was perfect. No breathing problems.. apagar of 9!! So proud of myself.. and still consider it a wonderful experience even with the induction and the cut.
Now at home.. being taken care of by my wonderful OH.. think he is a little bit in awe of me at the moment..
Not much time to be on here, but will check back as often as possible...
