12-2-2009 - Birth story

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

---

Now William is sleeping I may have the chance to type a short vesion of this.

I was induced on the 5th of feb in the afternoon. By about 11 pm that night it got really really bad the contractions and I couldnt do it. I tried ad tried to get him out but Wiliam was stuck. He was back to back still and hadnt turned around. I knew in my heart well before all this it would end in a c secton as he hadnt even moved down in the precious scans and the day before when they said they would induce he wasnt ready. Though I think i would have had labour that day anyway as I was 1cm between the night before and next day.

I had an epi, it was reccomended after the internal as nothing was raelly happening down there. That scared me do much and hurt. I thought he may hit the wrong part of my spine. So terrified I carried on. All the epi done was numb me a bit for them to check me out and gave me the shakes and voitting. On for hours like this and then the screaming started. All the pain was in my butt. William was trying to get out my bum with his shoulders as well as being 10cm dilated. in the end there was no point on pushing he wasnt coming so it was emergancy c section. Darren was away crying and upset as he coldnt bear to see me in that pain. Nothig was working for pain. They turned up the epi drip and it done nothig but made me vomit more. I was rushed off to surgery had to wait on the anestologist and darren was angry as he wasnt ast enough and i was screaming and grabbing every nurse i seen to hold me. I never felt this much pain in my life and i dont ever want to again. I got more dam needles in the spine on top of the drips and taps already hanging out of me. That last few moments of waitig for it to be done the numbing was the most terrible. I couldnt stay still and had to be held forward to get the needles in and i knew if i moved i could end up in a wheel chair.
Then all pain went, i was laid there on a table while they put sheets up around me and went to get darren. He came in looking like he had been crying and i know he was. they tried calming him with tea in my hall. Then i didnt feel anything. I herd my baby cry, seen him and got to hod him for a few mins, His eyes where wide open. Darren got to take care of him whilst i was in a blur. It was not how i wanted labour to go at all or how i had invisioned. William James was born on the 6th of feb in the early hours.
It scared me and still scares me to think about what happened that nigh, and for thoes who say you will forget i wont forget this. I did get a beautiful son out of it but i wont forget that pain. It upsets me still.

Hospital stay was bad to as i couldnt walk ad they where forving me to and i had to look after baby while darren wasnt there. He walked miles early moning to see us and helpe me. They even let me ewee he bed they wouldt help me up to go to the loo. My dad went and paid for a private room and it was still crap as they kept coming in. So i left after 48 hours. I recovered better at home with help.

WIliam is cool! he is such a happy child. I am breast feeding him . Everyone says how bright he is and alert. he is so pretty and sleeps well. So I am thankful he came out like that through the whole hard pregnancy and birth.

Wow - thank goodness this pregnancy is over for you. From start to finish you had a rough time! But I bet looking at William makes it all worth it. =)

He is gorgeous. He looks so much older than a new born. He's going to be a lady killer when he grows up! Watch out!
