Grace and Nicholas June 2008

Our new baby Grace has arrived, six days over due on the

6th October 2007 - weight 7.1.

The birth happened real quickly, my waters broke on Friday afternoon while out for a walk! Called the hospital and was told to go in. Felt cramps and pains along the journey. Later the pains stopped and they were giving me 18 hours to go into labour myself if not then i had to get antibiotics to save danger to the baby. After a long night, without sleep and worrying and pains gone.. they gave me antibiotics around 9 the following morning. Later they did a tracing of the babys heartbeat and found that it was decreasing. So they brought me to the labour ward at 11ish which i was dreading they started me on the drip to induce labour as i was only 2-3 cms they kept increasing the dose and pains were getting real bad. I used the gas, had my mind put of pethidine as i used it before and found it useless, and they asked for the epidural but it was too late...! Grace was born at 1.51 p.m. It was so so fantastic.. I couldnt believe it. It was a real short labour but that was due to the drip to speed up contractions. I came home the following day and couldn't have wished for everything to have gone better.

So glad i found this website for the pregnancy feel i have met so many people that will remain friends with. I wish everyone else all the very best with their new babies please God x x x
