Hey ladies!! So sorry for the late update I have tried once or twice but I end up writing loads and it doesn't post it
Bradley was born by csection at 3.39pm on 27.12.13 weighing 9lb and he's perfect I'm soooooo in love
Nothing went to plan! I was sent to another hospital 30miles from home as our local hospital was under staffed! That totally threw me as I had never been there before and the thought of being so far from dd and ds was horrible!!
When we got there it was all a bit rushed as I'd had my pre op in local hospital they had to rush through it all again! The midwife didn't seem to know what she was doing kept dropping things loosing things then the lab was refusing my bloods coz she had labelled them wrong, didn't give me much confidence!!
They finally got me into theatre and while they were doing the spinal (which also didn't go to plan!!) the blood bank phoned to say they didn't have enough blood on standby for me! Then the midwife tripped and spilt orange stuff all over the walls!! When they were all set up they let dh in and started, Bradley came out screaming I loved listening to him! I was so shocked when I seen him as I expected him to be so much bigger!
Then they asked mark to take Bradley and leave the theatre, by then I was screaming in pain and I knew something was very wrong!! They explained that my bladder had attached to previous scar tissue and it had been cut on the way in and it was taking time to try to repair it! The machines were beeping my blood pressure kept dropping! They said the spinal was wearing off and they wanted to put me to sleep! But I refused! I had just had my baby now things were going wrong I wanted to be aware of what was happening to me not wake up not knowing!! So they gave me some pain relief through my drip and gas and air, I just closed my eyes and concentrated on my breathing! I was in theatre over 2 hours!
I was told I had to rest my bladder so had to keep the catheter in for 48 hours but no guarantee my bladder would be ok I was terrified!!
I had gone in expecting to be home 24hours later to celebrate ds 6th birthday! And then 3days later Bradley was jaundice to had to go under lamps over night! We finally came home after 4 days!!
It hasn't been straight forward sinse then either my scar split at the sides and iv had terrible withdrawal symptoms from tramadol but I'm getting better slowly!!
Hope you all had a lovely Xmas and New Years with your babies!! And hope your pregnancy is going well Betty!
