Congrats to Ali on the birth of Barnaby and flygirl on the amazing delivery of Richard!!! What a story!
My Sophie was born on Monday 1st March at 5.50pm after a long process!!!!
I went into hopsital 5pm Sunday and had the cervidal tape put in - stayed overnight - and by morning my closed cervix was now 1.5cm dialiated. Waters were broken at 7.30am and contractions started straight away - 4 every ten minutes but they had hardly intensity. But they were enough to keep my on my feet. They checked my cervix at noon and nothing had changed!!!! So the drip went it and they upped it bit by bit to 24ml. Contractions increased slightly bit by bit in intensity. At 4pm they checked my cervix and it was only 3cm!!! I was distraught and exhausted. I could not believe it. So they gave me a big increase with the drip and the contractions came so hard and fast they had to turn the drip off! I started pushing at 5pm and bubs was born at 5.50pm, with no stiches!!!! No pain relief! Oh, I had forgotten how much that bloody hurts!!!! But I have recovered so quickly!!
Bubs was fine - she had four blood sugar checks in the first 12 hours and all was good - a great relief!
She is only tiny 2.9kg born and 48cm long. (my son was a lot bigger) Sophie is ravenous - feeding every 2-3 hours. She is a week old today!!!
Lis - good luck!!! Sounds like you will be induced like me. The cervidal tape did not hurt one little bit for me - so don't worry about that! How are you feeling???
Yeay M2W glad you are ok
That sounds pretty much spot on with my labour with dd1. The only ray of light I have at the moment is knowing that it is coming to an end very very soon how bad is that??
I have had 2 days of really bad pressure pain, no contractions, no real show bit of mucous here and there but whenever I stand it is a forceable pain and I seriously do not know how I have not broken my waters yet. Im half expecting the doc to say tomorrow that they can feel the head, it is so uncomfortable On top of that I have a stupid head cold, sinus crap, green runny nose, sore throat and am about at the end, and just exhausted
Still docs tomorrow and finally find out when this is going to end .
I hopefully will be with you in the baby buddies very soon
Ali i love the name its beautiful, and i am glad you both are doing well
Fly i am so glad your hubby was there with u that would have been hard
I hope everything is going good with u Jelly , i will be watching your space
M2W congrats mate , glad everything is ok for your little one
Lis Lis Lis let us know what happens with the Drs , i do hope the end is near so u can meet your little one, you have been so patient , i would be going INSANE LOL
My little girl is feeding so well and sleeping ggreat, i just cant believe how lucky i am
Good news all round.
Already 2cm dilated so at least the pain has been doing something and am booked in for 3pm tomorrow
But have been having major pain for 2 hours now the doc really did a good internal and didnt mess around I have managed to have a mini sleep and am still having the pains. They still dont feel like contractions to me but they are coming and going so who knows, whatever they are they have 24hours to do it on their own and then it will be forced on them.
Still dh reminded me that last time I had 6 hours of pain and was still only 3cm so to be 2 cm already is a huge achievement...bless him he was paying attention.
Hopefully I will be away for a couple of days but i'll keep you posted
