dunno. only getting updates occasionally, and usually very short ones. she would be exhausted by now! i cant believe it has gone so long! my longest was 5 hours from established, and that was posterior!

Sally-Your son is just gorgeous, what a precious little tresure. He was so small, it made me have a tear, What a incredibly hard journey that must have been for you and your Partner/Hubby.

Is it ok to read your hospital story

P.S. sorry it took so long to write back

I was in labour with my DD for 38 hours. I was induced with her aswell at 41 wks 3 days.
She was born 4130-9lbs 3oz a assisted delievery.

Sally- Yes i was scared, as any mother is when they are in labour/being induced.
I went in for induction on Sunday morning and Had him Tuesday evening, it was a long tiring process and i ended up pushing him out when i was only 5cms dialated as i was going to pass out, i had no sleep in those two days and i was completely exhausted.

He was born with some brusing to his face and body, he also had the cord around his neck 3 times.

He was the exact same weight as his sister down to the gram!

Sweet dreams
Sarah

thats amazing... same birth weight. I hope my next baby is at least double Brendans weight, of 1545gms.

I was techniquely in labour for 2 weeks. When my membranes ruptured I was already dialating lol. But if you go from the 4cm that the hospy goes by then I was in labour for around 2 days *shrugs* The whole two weeks felt like an eternity!! Brendan had the cord around his neck too... it was horrible.

Yeah, i'm off to bed too.

Ali, I really wanted to be up for the announcement thread too! I hope she has it really soon, so you can be off to bed too!!

Goodnight all

lol... it's morning now
