hi girls :wave:

my birth story, well what i remember of it lol

went in for induction monday evening, had a pessery (sp?) at 8.15pm, ken left at 10pm, id been having a few pains since 9.30pm but thought nothing of it, by 10.30pm they really hurt, didnt wanna look silly so put up with it for a while, by 1am i was in agony so asked if i could have something, they gave me 2 paracetamol and said they were just prostin (sp?) pains and asked if it was my 1st, i felt a fool, i kept thinkin if this is just prostin pains and not labour im never gonna cope!!! then at about 2.30-3.00am i think it was i had some blood so they finally examined me and i was 9cm!!

babys heartbeat started to drop so they rushed me to delivery and told ken to come quick, i was sooooo scared, they were shouting to people to open the doors and that the foetul heartbeat was dropping, they monitored baby and called for a baby crash trolley, i was petrified, then ken arrived, after a while of pushing, baby got distressed so they needed to get her out, she was also back to back, i asked for gas and air and they said i didnt need it as i was nearly there, i threw a fit and they let me have it whilst they used the forceps and cut me, summer mae brandon arrived at 4.23am wieghing 7lb 2oz :D

the one side of her face was lazy like when people have a stroke, her one nostril closed, her one eye shut and her lip down so they were worried but it turns out they trapped a nerve in her face when they used the forceps as it was all so quick and slowly its all coming back, she is nearly there now she just has a bit of bruising and a lazy eye that they think will be fine in a few weeks

she was positive blood and i am negative so she had some bloods and i had another anti d, she is now on folic acid as she tested weakly positive for coombs but she will be fine :D

here are some pics.................

fresh into the world, a bit bruised and battered from the forceps bless her....
