Hello girls,
I actually have five minutes!!! This is the first time ive had with baby asleep
Right here goes
Week 36 + 6
Sunday 12.30 am
Woke up after being in bed for an hour with waters broken, phoned hospital who said because i was just under 37 weeks
could I come in so they could have a look at me, luckily my sister was here visiting after having the baby shower on the Friday so she drove Me and dave to the hospital.
When we arrived they had a brief look and monitered the baby for an hour and sent us home and was told to come back Monday morning at 9am to be induced down to being prone to infection as the waters had broken.
Monday 37 weeks
Up bright and early papping myself was hoping the contraction would have started of there own accord but NO!!! So went into hospital for 9 am was really emotional and scared and the inserted a pessary at 10am and was told it may take a few hours untl they transfered me to the labour ward, had like period pains, and was thinking yay i can cope with this!!!
About 5 they sent me up to the labour ward as was 2cm dilated by this stage was getting really excited and anxious at the same time, was told that I would be getting the hormone sytocinin (sp) to bring on the contractions..............................but they decided not to do this until 12.30 am when I was shattered LOL Oh and 3 cm. They started the hormone off slowly to start and I thought, hey this isnt so bad then almost immediatly after that thought, I had a huge contraction and nearly climbed up the wall LOL this proceeded with gas and air which sort of worked, but the contractions were coming wham bam every minute or so I cant really remember. The doc that examined me previously recommended an epidural but the midwife talked me out of it and said she was pissed of that the docs always recommend it to everyone
and that I should wait a while. So I did, But I tell you they were coming so hard I couldnt cope anymore and begged them to do something NOW!!! About 5 mins later the lovely epidural lady came and boy did I sit still, I just thought I cant cope!!!
The epidural kicked in and all went well although its a weird sensations as I could move my legs and could really feel the pressure of the contractions in my ass but not pain so to speak.
Anyway the midwife said I should be fully dilated by about 9 in the morning but low and behold when she checked at 6am, I was 10 cm so got ready to push, which I did for 2 hours 45 minutes. At this point I was knackered but I though this baby IS coming out, but she wouldnt come the little sod. The consultant told me that they were going to take me to theatre for a ventouse delivery and if this didnt work then they would give me a c section, at this point I flatly refused and said NO!!! and the consultant then agreed to do a forceps delivery with an episiotomy, so he gave me a local anaesthetic down below, not sure why as id had the epi??? and he inserted the forceps and told me on the next contraction to push really hard and my baby would be born.
So at 8.45 am Ruby was here, it was the most emotional time of my life!!! Apparantly I lost a lot of blood and was a hair breadth away from having a blood transfusion.
And thats it girls.
Im not very good at explaining stuff so I hope it reads ok LOL This is the quick version of the story.
Oh nearly forgot I had 3 canulas also as had to have antibiotics given
