Weight: 8lb 15oz
Well Little man has made his entrance in to the world!it all started on Monday morning. i woke up at 7am went to the toilet (as usual) and there is was... the most discusting thing ever! a show. it looked so gross and me having a very weak stomach, was actually sick in the bath (whilst sitting on the toilet) hee hee hee!
straight afterwards i starting getting period'y pain cramps all down my right side. called OH just to warn him that i "thought" things might be happening and to warn his work
by 1pm they were still there and getting painfull. went to the hospital at 3pm and got checked out they told me i was 2cm dilated,things were happening but it would be a while, go home, have a bath, take some paracetamol and eat some sugary foods!
5pm i was in a lot of pain, and getting 3 contractions in 10mins, and they were lasting for a good and painfull 40seconds! i phoned the delivery suit again and woman on the phone said "well you dont sound as though your in enough pain for me to think your anymore dilated, best to leave it untill you really really cant cope"...
well 11pm came, and i was crying in pain i couldnt cope anymore, again i phoned delivery suit who again said... leave it a bit longer, little bit longer i told them" i cant cope anymore" and they wanted me to stay on the phone and talk to them whilst i was having a contraction. (i am quiet a bashfull person and could not bring myself to cry and be panting and puffing down the phone) she said.... "leave it a bit longer"
i got in to bed and tried to chill, but midnight came and i could hardly walk. told Luke (OH) i NEED TO GO. called ward and told them... "I NEED TO COME IN". they agreed it "might be time" so off we went
when i arrived i was examined and was told... "oooo yeah you are actually 7cm dilted, probably explains why you are uncomfortable" (no S**t sherlock) lol
had some puffs of gas and air, which was totaly usless and didnt help. i eventually couldnt cope anymore and asked for an epidural. (i cant have pethidine as i am allergic to it). i cannot stres how much pain i was in by now, i couldnt cope at all.
they gave me a low dose Epi,,, which.................................
didnt work! and i had an allergic reaction to it, and itched EVERYWHERE, i was scratching myself to pieces.
at 4am it was time to push!
my contractions were so strong and painfull.
i used just gas and air (whihc really did feel uselss.. didnt make me fly around the room in the slightest, haha).
i managed to get through the contractions and midwife was brilliant, was hard work trying to push down and down to mve bubbas head along.was all fine untill babys head crowned. it was so painfull that i could help screaming (whihc i always said id NEVER do) it hurt so much and took so long i felt as though i was splitting to half!
57am everything got 1 million times better and baby Theo Lewis was born weighing a wopping 8lb 15oz. he is the most gorgeous baby i have ever seen.. (but then i am bias) i couldn't be happier and he is a little angel. its unbeliable how amazing and perfect he is and to think me and OH made him!
i have to say birth was awful and since i have not slept due to flashbacks, but all i have to do is look at my little boy and i wouldnt have it any other way!
