Fankoo all! The birth was thankfully quick, took a little while to establish regular contractions (a bath helped) but had to have a ventouse in the end on pethidene, the other girls on the ward said You had an epidural though right? err no, no time, got looks of mass sympathy and oooh poor cow Ive had problems breast feeding him but now I can express he's a happy little boy and slept from 1am till I woke him up at 8.20am
For the girls heading into labour, count out loud how long the contractions are as you'll know when it stops and can focus on getting to there. Also take in some energy drinks with straws as the gas and air dried my mouth badly and my tongue was like sandpaper. Had no energy left to push properly hence the ventouse so lucozade sport next time me finks!
Here's my little man Ethan (still deciding on order of middle names!)
Oh my goodness he is beautiful!!! You must be so proud!!!
Well done on your labour honey sounds painful but a fast one!!
I agree with the gas and air dry mouth thing! Its awful! Id forgotten about that til now, thanks for the reminder!! Ill definitly take a 2litre bottle of drink in with me LOL!!
Congratulations again honey! Hope your able to BF soon..
Get some well deserved rest!!
