Hi ladies - I went into labour naturally late Sunday night, yay! So pleased with myself!
But bubs head was still very high and not in a good position, and I wasn't dilating past 6cm even though I looked and sounded a lot further along. The decision was made to transfer and I am happy with that - we tried everything! All the different positions the midwives could think of, rebozo sifting for ages, in and out the pool etc.
The staff at King Edward were fabulous, and I had the best Ob. Apparently I was being prepped to go for a C-sect (my worst fear) but I was trying all positions to push this big guy out and thankfully the Dr decided to give forceps a go first. 2 giant pushes later and bubby slid out!
1.2l blood loss for me so staying in hossy for a little bit. I'm happy with how everything went, even though we didn't get our home birth.
