Will upload birth story and pictures later on.
Georgia Skye arrived 1 week late weighting 9lb 5oz, and I did it on gas and air and diamopphire such a better experience than my 1st. Now I'm thinking about my 3rd
lol
Edit, so here is my full birth story, well what I can remember.
Saturday 26th May, hadn't felt great all day, very hormonal and upset, had a huge argument with oh, even though he did say sorry afterwards. 10.30 at night, I didn't feel great, felt very tired and off, so decided to go bed, got in bed and got a really sharp pain across my tummy, these continued but at different times, and intense, oh came to bed but I didn't say anything as I had a false labour on the Wednesday and didn't want to get his hopes up.
Sunday 27th may, 2am, I woke up oh up, told him I was getting strong contractions but timings were all over, however they were very strong, his response was lie down, turn over, and go back to sleep it could be a long night lol, I said they have been like this for the last couple of hours don't think I will be getting any sleep. Kept getting strong pains, so ran myself a bath and got in, it did relax me but contractions got stronger and stronger so after an hour or so got out and told oh I was gonna ring l&d whilst he got a shower. They told me to come straight in, as contractions were every 4 minutes lasting about 1 minute. So dropped my lg off at my sisters and arrived at the hospital about 6am, was taken to triage and told I was 5cm - yipeeeeeee. We were both so chuffed as last time, I had struggled t get to 4 with no pain relief. Was given gas and air, and told I would have to go to the consultation ward as baby was very high up and if my waters broke there was a huge danger the cord would come down and sufficate - tiny bit scared at that point.
So was transferred to a delivery suite a 8am and contractions were strong, but was coping well on gas and air- was very proud of myself.
Was checked again at 10.45 I was thinking I must be at least 8cms by now, especially with how intense the contractions had got, but now I was still 5cms, so I burst into tears, however the mw said the head was right down, so I could have my waters popped. I remember having them done with my first and thought that's fine, it doesn't hurt. How wrong was I, she wanted to pop them during a contraction so had to keep her fingers in my foof till then and then she popped them and it was agony, I started to cry again.
'Vicky, I am so sorry you have been doing so well, but baby has pooped, so we are going to have to put u on monitor as she could be getting distressed' cue me to cry some more, I was so scared for her at this point. My oh had the conversation about what this means etc. whilst trying to calm me down.
They couldn't find babies heart beat as she was slighty back to back, so they put a little clip on her head to monitor her better. Mw said wow you are now 7-8cms. I did at this oint have some diamopphire as I was getting o upst and the contractions were getting so bad.
Then about 315 I started to scream I need to push I need to poo lol the mw told me I wasnt ready, but my body took over and started to push. Mw ran out to the doc, who did an internal and said Vicky your 9.5 cm, try and stop pushing, I will try and move the rest of the cervix out the way, huch was worse than a contraction, but after this I pushed her out in just 5 minutes. Rtl really does works
Georgia SKye arrived weighing a healthy 9lb 5oz and a full head of black hair (daddy). 41weeks.
Even though it hurt like crazy, I was so proud of myself, with my first baby who was 10lb I had every painkiller going including epidural, spinal, resulting in a horrible forceps delivery.
My oh was and still is my rock, I thank him for the support he gave to me that day.
Georgia is a fantastic chilled out baby, who breast feeds every few hours, and Amelia is making a big fantastic sister.
During my pregnancy I said never again, but now I really think I will have one more.
Thanks for reading
