Maybe I missed it but how come you were induced early? Was it the obstectric cholestasis?
Yes Tan it was, we had quite a difficult job with the hospital to tell you the truth we went in for a review when I was 37 weeks 5 days and were told that the guide lines for inducing wemen with OC have now changed ( literally a few days before my review) and they like to keep you on meds and induce as close to full term as possible rather then at the 38 week mark.
Me and hubby were not happy with this as we know that even on the meds the risk of stillbirth is still increased after 38 weeks even with the meds, so hubby our point across as I was starting to get emotional and after about 10mins she went and spoke with the consultant and he said that as I was so upset they would try 1 go at induction at 38 weeks (just 2 days later) and if that 1 didn't work then I'd have to wait till I was closer to term.
They gave me the first lot of prostin gel at 9:30 am on friday 2nd, I started contracting but didn't go into labour but luckly I had dilated enough for them to brake my waters,so at 9:15am on the Saturday thats what they did my contractions picked up and I went into labour at about 10am and eventually gave birth at 3
5pm saturday afternoon.
It was very quick but quite difficult as she was coming out face up instead of face down which made my body need to push before I was completely dilated, and instead of coming out crown first her head started coming out slightly to the side so she had to turn her head as she was coming out hubby said it look really strange it didn't feel to comfortable either lol, once her head was out she also had to turn her whole body inside before she could be completely delivered, but after all that she was fine apart from a bit of bruising on her head from coming out funny and a slightly swollen right eye from having to turn.
we were allowed to come home the same evening so all in all we didn't do to badly.
Will post some pics of lily very soon
