Well done Mildly
Well done Mildly
Hi everyone 
Just wanted to thank you all for all the lovely messages. Oscar is amazing and i can't quite believe he is only 21 hours old, he is very grumpy looking (but in a gorgeous way)although he is a really chilledlittle guy
He weighed 9lb 14oz and although thibgs went very quickly up until 8cm dilated because of his size and position my cervix wouldn't dilate anymore Because things weren't progressing the water and g+a lost their effectiveness and i ended up demanding pethadine and then an epidural. They decided to put me on a drip to help me dilate further which didn't help (but am so glad i had the epi as the contractions were very fierce) and so they made the decisionto perform an emergency c-section at 3am.
Will update with a proper birth story and pics when we return home hopefully on monday or tuesday. the epi iswearing off now so am starting to feel very sore. we have a whole bay to ourselves today and tonight so hopeully will get some rest
Thanks again s from Oscar, OHand i

s from Oscar, OHand i Congratulations Mildly, sounded like you had quite a dramatic time of it in the end after doing so well.
Main thing is that you are both well
What a good size he is too, hope you don't feel too sore. Get plenty of pain relief and hope that you can get some rest tonight.
