James-Hamish-Benjamin`s birthstory
Hiya all,
I had my little boy on 22nd by c-section i was in labour for 3 painful days so heres how it started!
It was Monday the 20th at 9:30 in the morning i was in treige waiting room after being 9 days over due and me and my hubby we sitting nattering on to another girl and her friend (mine was mostly rubbish as i chatter when nervouse) then we were both called and placed in 2 different rooms opposit each other as i walked in the room 3 women were in labour and being taken out for delivery jesus i still remember the screams !
I was given a vaginal pessery at 5pm and told to walk around after lying down for 45mins so i did as i was told and i felt twinges in one side of my bump and at 9 pm i was saying goodbye to hubby and giving him a check list just in case i needed him,
but the following morning i was engaged and was contracting every 5 minutes they just wernt doing anything so i was moved into delivery room where i met my 2 midwifes Cleo and sarah and they were brilliant so i was made to walk again ( i must have paced the coridors more times then ive had hot dinners lol)
when i came bk my contractions were every 2 mins then every1 minute but still wernt working so i had a pictocin drip put in and through the whole proceedure i was in tears and saying `im so frightend` over and over again but within minutes it was done and i realised wot a hypocondreact i really am ( im very afraid of needles)
After a few hours my contractions were fast and long and i was in agony so midnight that night i was on gas and air and within a few hours i was told i was over stimulating so had a jab of pethadine but it didnt help and they took me off my drip to slow the contractions down but it didnt work and now my baby was back to back and stuck let me tell you ouch!!!
8am rolled around the next morning and the midwifes swaped over again and they examend me and i cried please help me i need a c-section i was in soo much pain they started to prep me and i was given all this instructions and questions and paper to sight and i was in tears!
well i got into theter and was given another drip and then the spinal block supprisingly it didnt hurt !!
i was laid down and i could feel the spinal working and in came my hubby dressed up in green (looked like the incredible hulk if you ask me) and at 8:44 am he was here ! and all i could here was he is huge i got a quick glimps and told he weighs 10 pound 7 and is gawgus then my baby and partner went to the recovery room to give him a full M.O.T while they stiched me up and then i was in the recovery room while the tried to sort my blood pressure after a while i was able to have my boy placed on my breast so i could have skin to skin contact with him and i loved it we were then placed on the delivery ward and i was given my own room with on suite shower and toilet and b.day and a mini fridge and a electric bed i felt like a queen!
I stayed for 2 nights at the hospital and on frieday i was released to go home at 8pm i was soo excited we are now on Sunday at 22:10pm and here i am letting you all no James Hamish Benjamen McAleer has arrived im just adding some pics up now for you all.
