i'm back!

[lisa_davidson]

hi,
well...after three days in hospital i'm finally home with baby isaiah...

he is great and very very noisey!! well...as you all know my waters broke but i was sent home for 48 hours until i was due to be induced. i went back once with pains but they said it wasn't established labour. i went back the day after with pains and feeling ill, one midwife said when i was on the moniter that babies heartbeat kept dropping and she called the senior midwife in who disagreed with her... but i was back in four hours later with his heartbeat dropping every five miutes and i had got an infection that had put my body in shock. i was shivering uncontrollably but still burning up. they did an emergency section straight away and the midwife said it was a good job we came back in so quickly! i can't help thinking what could have happened!but thank god it didn't.

well i now have 13 puncture wounds in my back where they tried for an hour to get the spinal in for the section. and in the end they hadn't given me enough so i could feel the op and had to be put to sleep completely!

i've been drugged out of my head for the last three days and can't even remember my husband handing me my baby!

oh...and cos i had a section my boobs dried out of milk...so i can't even breastfeed.

i don't mean to worry anyone...this kinda thing is so rare but i can't help thinking that the hospital made a comedy of errors (but without the humour bit)

i have been quite depressed since getting back but my husband has been great and my son is gorgeous...i'm sure i will pull around and get over what went on but at the moment i feel rubbish.

but it was still all worth it. (but don't think i'll be getting pregnant again in a hurry)

sorry to sound so miserable. i really am greatful for my blessing- my son.


thanx for all your support

godbless
lisa xxxx

Very BIG hugs Lisa
Quite an eventful labour and birth you had, I am very happy to hear that you and baby Isaiah are now home, and doing well, and I wish you a comfy and speedy recovery Your story has touched me, as parts were close to my experience, and I do hope you're getting those emotions out, and speak to those close to you, or the health professionals if you feel your mood is staying lower than you'd like You can PM myself too if you want a chat, and as ever there is this forum with its wonderful members who KNOW, for support and advice

Have fun enjoying your little blessing, and yes, pics would be lovely

Hi Lisa,

I am sosorry to hear you had such rotten problems during the birth - but all worth it when you see little one.

And you beat me to it! I am DYING of envy! I think my little lady has lost her bearings, and instead of heading downwards, she seems to be getting higher and higher - heading for my lungs!

Lisa

Sorry to hear that it didn't all go as planned, but it sounds like you have a good outlook on things and are focusing on the positives - your loud, healthy baby boy!
Congratulations and I hope things settle down for you now you're home.
And a question - -what's the deal with breastmilk drying up? Will you re-start to produce it now or do you only get one shot?

Great to read you are now home with baby Lisa. Congratulations on the birth of your son.

I'm sure the bad memories will fade in a few weeks when you are feeling physically stronger. Do take it easy to start with and get lots of TLC from your hubby/family.
