Born 9th of July at 6.28am, weighing in at 7lb 7.5oz.
I went in to be induced at 10pm on 7th of july. They hooked me up to the monitor to listen to babies heartbeat and to see whether i was having any contractions. Turns out i was having contractions every now and again, but i thought it was just her bum sticking out.
They put the tablet in me at 11.30 and then my parnter had to go home. All night tho i couldnt settle, my back was killing. Just kept going for a walk. So next morning the registrar came round and examined me and i was 3 cms so said i could go to labour ward. Got down there at 11 am and they didnt break my waters until 3pm as they had a few emergencies on.
Well my back was still playing up but didnt winge one bit. Tried the gas an air, loved it but only worked after about 10 puffs. I wasn't progressing as well as i should and was still only at 4 cms by 8pm. All night i kept wanting to push, still didnt make a noise, the midwifes kept saying how placid i was. Had my mum and parner there. My mum was going mad coz they just left me too long. By 4am i was only 7 cms and they said i'd probably have to have a c section, but first tried and put me on the drip. The registar then said we'l leave her 4 another 2 hours. Well my mum was going ape shit coz all i kept wanting to do was push. By 6am, they decided to try vontuse delivery, which went a bit wrong, the cap fell off my babies head and the midwife was pushed out the way by the registrar, and put it back on. Well at 6.28 Grace was born.
She had a nasty wound on her head that took the skin off, and had poor respiratory response so was whisked off me and spent the next 2 days in SCBU. I had to dress her head for 8 days when i came home.
Bit of a horrendous birth and i'l get over it in time, but here are a few pics of my beautiful girl.
