Hi All,
Well I was a last years Dec Stars, due on 15/12/09. However my little gril Elsie was born 8 days early by emergency c/s on 07/12/09.
So here is our story....
It all started early hourse of the Monday morning. 1am in bed my waters broke with no prior contractions or any type of warning I was a little shocked. Contractions started about 1 hour afer this, they came on v. quickly and strong. So by 4 am the midwife was called and came out to the house to examine me. At this time I was 4cm, and we agreed that I would stay at home until I felt I wanted to go in to our local birthing centre. So the midwife left, and I got into the bath to help the contractions. A few hours passed, things progressed Painfully, and at 8am the midwife was called again as I felt that I needed some kind of pain relif at this point.
The midwife arrived back with us around 9am, and again examined me only to find out that i was now 9cm dilated, and the baby was breech!!!
Due to this the ambulance was called and I was rushed to the local general hospital for an emergency c/s. About half way through the 40 min journey I started to have the urge to push, at this point I became quite eratic, as all I remener the paramedic and midwife saying was DO NOT PUSH!
So we eventually get to theatre where they found I was fully dilated and the babys bottom has crowned and was coming out. from this point it all went a bit haywire in my memory, but basically I had a spinal block and an emergency section to get the baby out.
And Elsie was born at 10.58am on Monday 7th December 2009.
