Hi girls

Sorry for the late notice but i have had a pretty rough week. My beautiful baby girl Ava Maree was born last wednesday the 12th Jan at 12.24am. She weighed a tiny 10lbs 7oz!!!!!! My waters broke at 2am on the tuesday morning and were mecconium stained quite thick, so i was told to come straight up to delivery. I was then induced as my contractions hadn't started naturally. My labour really didn't progress munch from there. It took till 4pm for them to declare established labour and i was still only 2cm dilated. By 6.30pm i was 3cm and in quite an amout of pain. We discussed an epidural not to help with pain but to try and relax my body to dilate more on its own, so that was given. By 11pm i had only gone to 4cm and had too much induction drip for them to continue it so i was told C/section was the safest way for bub to come into the world. Half way through the c/section they put me under general anesthetic as feeling was starting to return. SOOO after all that ava was born and checked then wheeled straight out to DH which i was happy about. I have had a tough time since as well as my milk is still not in due to the c/section and amount of blood loss i had. But every midwife had a different opinion in hospital and i was told just to keep at it (she also has a tongue tie which isn't helping). On friday 3 days after she was born she had not stopped screaming for days as she was so hungry they put her on formula and i am expressing till my milk comes in. She is still quite unsettled from it i think, although she had been a gem today. I have only just managed to get back online so sorry for the delay.
