ITS A BOUNCING BABY BOY

MY BIRTHING STOREY

I WENT INTO HOSPITAL ON THURS 17TH JULY TO BE INDUCED - 1 WEEK OVER DUE - I WAS INDUCED AT 7PM AND WENT STRAIGHT INTO LABOUR AND WAS 4CM DILATED BY 8PM!!!! THIS WAS FANTASTIC

HAD A NIGHT OF CONTRATIONS - PAINFUL ALL IN MY BACK - I WAS RECHECK AT 6AM AND HAD ONLY DILATED BY ANOTHER 1 CM - SO 5CM - THEN CHECKED AT 8AM AND WAS ONLY 5 1/2 CM BUT MY CONTRATONS WERE EVERY MIN...

WENT OVER TO DELIVERY WARD AND THEY LET MY CARRY ON TILL 1PM AND SAID I WAS NOW ONLY 6 CM - SO I WASNT DILATING QUICK ENOUGH - I WENT IN THE WATERPOOL - AS I WANTED A WATER BIRTH BUT MADE MY CONTRATIONS 10 TIMES WORSE - COME OUT AT 3PM AND WAS RECHECKED - STILL ONLY 6CM

DOC COME ALONG AND SAID I WILL NEED TO GO ON A DRIP TO GET ME DILATING QUICKER BECAUSE IT CAN BE DANGEROUS TO BABY AND ME - PUT ME ON THE DRIP AND IT WAS AGONISING - SO THEY GAVE ME AN EPERDURAL AND I COULDNT MOVE - HAD TO HAVE CAFFITER FITTED - YUCK..

ANYWAY CARRIED ON WOTH LABOUR TILL 7PM AND RECHECKED I WAS FINALLY AT 9CM - SO THEY TOLD ME TO STAR PUSHING AT 7.30PM - WITCH I DID - THE PRESSURE IN MY BUM WAS UNREAL - I WAS EXSULSTED TOO....

BY 8.45 BABYS HEART BEAT DROPPED AND I HAD 7 DOCS AND 3 MIDWIFES IN - THEY SAID IF I CANT GET HIM OUT BY 9 I WILL HAVE TO HAVE C -SECTION - I GAVE IT EVERYTHING I HAD - EVRY CONTRACION I DONE WHAT I COULD - BY 9.05 THEY SAID BABY HEART BEART DROPPING COME ON TRING YOU CAN DO THIS - I PUSHED AN PUSHED

THEY SAID WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TO CUT YOU - I SAID WHATEVER GET MY BABY OUT - THEY GAVE MY A INJECTION SO I DIDNT FEEL THEM BUT ME - BUT THE NEEDLE SNAPPED THEY MANAGED TO GET IT OUT - BUT DIDNT HAVE TIME TO GIVE ME ANOTHER ONE - SO THEY CUT ME FRONT TO BACK WITH NO PAIN RELIEF I FELT EVERYTHING ----

ANYWAY ITS NOW 9.15PM AND DOC SAID I GOT ONE MORE PUSH AND IT HE DOESNT COME OUT C-SECTION - SO I GAVE IT EVERYTHING AND HE WAS BORN AT 9.18PM.

HE WASNT BREATHING - I WAS CRYING AND SHOULTING - MY PARNER SAID HES DEAD??? THEY MANAGED TO GET HIM BREATHING AFTER 10 MINS - IT SEEMED LIKE A LIFE TIME...

HE IS HERE NOW AND SO LOVELY - IT WAS THE HAREST THING EVER BUT WORTH IT - HE IS MY MIRICLE - THEY SAID WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE HIM,,,

I FEEL LIKE SUING THE HOSPITAL AS IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIS SIZE WE HAD SO MANY PROBS - THEY KNEW HE WAS BIG AND SHOULDNT OF LET ME GO THAT FAR.
