Just to update you, i had my little man by c-section at 12.37pm on wednesday 31st august. He is called Taylor Jack and weighed in at 7lb 11oz (was told he was gonna be a 9 pounder!).
the c-section was a wee bit scary, the spinal block worked too far up on me and my blood pressure kept dropping which meant i kept drifting in and out, i also vomited twice which is very hard to do when u can only move your head lol. i couldnt hold him for an hour afterwards, which i later realised was because i had suffered from a post-partum heamorrage and lost 2 litres of blood. BUT....i still feel great
he is absolutely lovely and i am so smitten with him, i feel totally on cloud 9
at the moment, i am waiting for the baby blues to hit like last time but so far so good. he is breastfeeding really well, 3 hourly through the day and 2 hourly through the night, my boobs are killing cos milk arrived yesterday but we are getting past the pain now....heres some piccies xx

i went in for induction at 8.30 am i only needed my water breaking as i was already 3 cm dilated, when i got to the hospital the mw looking after me was very rude to me that my oh told her that she needs to work on her bedside mannor as he didnt like the way she was talking to me, and not answering any of my questions telling me to read a leaflet that i had already read and the answers were not on there anyway, then she had the cheek to turn round and say well you have had 2 kids you should no. then she asked me to she wanted to do a ve and check me so i got undressed and waited and waited 55 mins later she came back after oh had been looking for her and guess what she went on her tea break left me on the bed like a lemon. well after being checked had to wait for a bed in labour ward didnt get the bed till 3pm. the ladies on the labour ward were great really friendly and done everything they said they would do 
at 4.20pm i had my waters broken contractions started at about 6.30 not very strong but 2 mins apart. at 7.50 started gas an air as they were very painfull every 1-2 mins lasting between 55-90 sec midwifes needed to do change over between 8 and 8.30 my mw said she would check for dilation when the next mw came on shift so i wouldnt have to be checked twice. at 8.15 i screamed at oh to get mw as i cant wait both mw's came in straight away on my next contraction i shouted i can feel the head i wanna push she lifted up the sheet and said wow i can see the head carry on pushing and maizie- lee was born at 8.30 weighing 6lb 8oz with lots of dark hair. i was only in pain for 40mins and all my contractions were in my back and they wernt showing up on the monitor so it is possible to be in labour and not have stomoch tightening.
