Well ladies this lil one is finally here and im so happy i cant believe i actually did it

Well let me see where shall i start from the beginning obviously

I went into hospital on the 28th January 2008 at 9.30 am for my induction i was half an hour late but oh well i didnt care because they made me go in the day before to tell me that the labour ward was full and that i should go home and come back tommorow which i did. I was then sent to ward m1 to sit and wait until they called me down to the labour ward i sat down for approximately 5 minutes and they called me and said they were ready for me so me, angelo and his mom strolled down to the labour ward for them to induce me.
I got dressed into my nightie and was then put on the CTG for half an hour to monitor the baby heart rate and also if i was felling any contractions which i was but they werent painful. They also checked my cervix and i was still 3 cm dilated so then they decided to induce me by breaking my waters at 10.54am with this funny looking hook, little did i know a big gush of water came flooding out i felt swamped, then about 5 minutes after i started to feel contractions but they didnt hurt so i thought about going for a little stroll around the ward but i only managed to get around the corner before the contractions started to get a bit more painful so angelos mom had to escort me back to the room i was in and i was given gas and air.
The gas and air made me feel so high and dizzy i nearly fell over so i sat on the rocking chair breathing in the gas and air as the contractions were gettin stronger and closer together i was rocking in the chair like a mad woman that angelo and his mom had to help me onto the bed in case i rocked the chair back to far.
My contractions kept on coming till every time they calmed down i would doze off and then wake up screaming down the place, i will never forget how painful they were, im telling you that the worst pain a woman can ever go through and im sure other mothers out there would agree.
The midwives decided to check my cervix again and i was 6 cm dilated i only had 4 cm to go which i thought would take forever. By this time i was screaming down the whole hospital with pain, screaming get him out, i grabbed hold of anything i could get my hands on including angelos sides, chest and hands and also his moms hand and top but then about 5 minutes after i felt like i wanted to go to the toilet to do a number 2 so for some odd reason i decided to push little did i know it was the babys head and one arm appearing, the midwife didnt even have time to put on her gloves but she managed it. The midwife told me to push one more time and out he came at 1.13pm weighing 8lbs 3oz. I didnt even know if he cried when he came out because i was in shock, felt weak and felt high so i didnt even hold him when he came out to be honest i looked and felt like a zombie i couldnt even talk because my mouth was so dry and it felt like a cheese grater. I was so weak i couldnt hold him to breast feed him so angelos mom bottle fed him for me. They gave me an injection to help the placenta come out and a couple of minutes or so after i staggered to the shower room with angelo helping me along to get cleaned up i must admit it took me ages to get cleaned up coz i was so weak and every move i made was so painful. I staggered back to my room and started to breast feed jhontae because he didnt take a liking to the bottle. After half an hour i was wheeled up to ward M2 to rest and thats my story of how my lil miracle arrived.

Hey people i am a 1st time mom. I know some of you might think i am too young but at the end of the day there are people out there who dont have the ability to have children. I also dont believe in abortion because there are risks from having a termination, so ive decided to keep it and love it and cherish and be a good mom.

Ok well the membrane sweep didnt help at all coz im gettin contractions but they dont hurt so in approximatly 9hrs im going into hospital to be induced and i cant wait to finally meet my lil son.

(Friday 25th January 2008)

Good news ladies i went to my 41 week antenatal appointment at the hospital and guess what the midwife did a membrane sweep and the midwife said she could feel the head and that im 3cm dilated so if i dont have the baby by now and saturday night i will have to go into hospital on sunday at 9am im so excited.

(Thursday 24th January 2008)

Well ladies im 8 days overdue and still waiting for this lil one to appear, i think he likes it inside my belly thats why hes not making the effort to come out, well ive got a hospital appointment tomorrow so hopefully they will tell me when im going to get induced.

(Thursday 17th January 2008)

Is this baby taking the mick, hes taking forever to come out but i guess he will come out when hes good and ready, coz ive been walking around alot and it hasnt helped 1 bit.

I went for my 40 week appointment with the midwife today because i havent seen my midwife in over 5 weeks and as usual they tested my urine, checked my blood pressure, measured my stomach, listened to the babys heartbeat and felt the baby and guess what the head is engaged 3 cm i think she said i cant remember. True say ive gone past my due date the midwife said she could do a membrane sweep but i dont want them to do it because i heard it hurts.

(Wednesday 16th January 2008)

Ive finally reached my due date and still no sign of this little one, hes taking forever to appear i just hope he comes before the 21st because i want him to be a capricorn like my loving mother

I just wish she was here so that she could see her 2nd granchild well the 1st one from me anyways, but i guess shes here in spirit (I love you mom R.I.P)

(Tuesday 15th January 2008)

1 day left until my due date and still no sign of this lil one i pray to god he comes out this week coz its not about waiting till next week friday to be induced i cant take running to the toilet every minute to discover that nothing wants to come out.

(Monday 14th January 2008)

Ive got two days left until my due date and theres still no sign of this lil one making an appearance, he needs to come out theres so much people who are looking forward to meeting him, come on son mommy and daddy are waiting.

(Wednesday 26th December 2007)

My xmas was alright i suppose i didnt really want to drink but i did have half a glass of wine mixed with tropical juice. The food on the other hand was delicious i stuffed my belly full till i couldnt move from around the table lol. Approximately 6 days until 2008 i cant wait 21 days left until i see this little one. The only bad thing about being pregnant around this time is you cant go sale shoppin coz you dont know what size your going to be after giving birth plus its too tiring to walk up and down in every shop looking for clothes. Plus places are packed with people and i dont think anyone would like to get elbowed in their stomach but im going to try and see if i can get anymore clothes for this one and probably a pair of shoes to treat myself.

(Thursday 15th November 2007)

My pregnancy has been really stressful i had to go into hospital on sunday and i only just came out on wednesday because apparently my waters have broken and theres a risk i could go into premature labour plus theyre gonna have to monitor me more because true say my waters have broken theres a risk i could an infection and if i do get one then they will have to deliver my baby early.
I can finally say that i have had enough of these doctors and midwives prodding me with needles.
And feeding me pills and checking my blood pressure i cant take it no more i just want to be left alone.

(Thursday 25th October 2007)

As i was getting out of bed this morning i started to feel these really weird abdominal pains in my right side i couldnt even move to put my clothes on when my other half phoned the ambulance so he had to dress me. The pains were really intense and they would come and go every 3 minutes but it wasnt contractions as i got to hospital they strapped me up to a machine that monitored the feotal heart rate and also if i was experiencing any contractions but i wasnt felling any contraction. I was in hospiatl for a couple hours and i was told if it happens again i must come in. But the thing is it really scared me.

(Monday 22nd October 2007)

I havent received a phone call so everything is fine i havent got gestational diabetes

(Friday 19th October 2007)

Went to have my gtt test done today it was horrible i was hungry and tired and they took 4 tubes of blood from me then made me drink this horrible yellow drink and wait two hrs in the boring waiting room i just closed my eyes and slept then i had yet another tube of blood taken from me. The midwife said that she will phone me on monday with my results if things arent ok.

(Thursday 18th October 2007)

Just come back from my midwife appointment and they have found glucose in my urine a second time so they have booked me in to have a gtt a test for diabetes thats just great coz now im not allowed to eat or drink any fluids except water after 10 oclock and i love my food how am i gonna cope.

(Thursday 30th August 2007)

I have just come back from the hospital to have my 20 week scan and apparently i will be having a little soilder. My instincts were totally wrong but my baby is fine and doing well.

(Monday 20th August 2007)

Sorry ive taken long but apparently my due date has now changed to the 16th of january but to be quite honest i want my little angel to born on the 20th of january because thats the same date as my moms

Ive also got a strong feeling that its going to be a little girl and my next scan is on the 30th of this month, i cant wait then they can tell me what my baby is going to be

(Thursday 26th July 2007)

This has been the happpiest day of my pregnancy because i finally got to have my scan, at 1st i couldnt see the baby on the screen but then i saw my lil angel for the 1st time. I was so overwhelmed even angelo was happy, i think now i feel like a mom. But there is still one problem that i need to overcome, and that is to tell my big sister that im pregnant but im scared. I really think its about time i do coz shes the only 1 left out my immediate family. Thats because my inconsiderate father or should i say the man that helped conceived me stabbed my mom to death so now i havent got no parents. I dont want to associate myself with him for as long as i live and my aunite wont let me see my little sister she told her if she speaks to either me or my other sister then shes gonna go in 2 care which she cant do but my little sister believes it. Shes only young and shes frightened.

(Monday 23rd July 2007)

Well it was my birthday 4 days ago and i had to take it easy no dancing the way i usually dance and no drinking but at the end of the day i still enjoyed it the only thing that spoiled it was i had to go a funeral the next day. My 1st scan is also comming up in 4 days time and i cant wait yessssssssss.

(Friday 7th July 2007)

I phoned up the hospital today to book my scan and they gave me a date which i can have my scan which is going to be 26th July im soo excited i cant wait by then il be 14 weeks 6 days and i know thats far away from a 12 week scan but at least i now know that im having one.

(Thursday 12th July 2007)

Ok im 13 weeks tommorow and i have not yet had a scan its depressing i have to phone up the hospital tommorow just to book my own scan great.

(Wednesday 4th July 2007)

Well im 12 weeks today so therefore all the morning should be disappearing although i didnt suffer with it because my morning sickness was mild. Anyways im supposed to be getting my 12 week scan but unfortunately im gonna have to wait because the hospital have not received my referal. I was looking forward to actually seeing wat my baby looks like but now my hopes and dreams have been crushed.
