Our near Toilet Baby

Hi All

Thought I should get around to actually writing the story of the birth of my partner Sean and I first baby Jayde Ashley.

Born on 24th January at 11.47pm Naturally weighing 7lb 5oz (3.3kgs)

It started after having period cramps on the Friday night. I was feeling a little outta the wether and said to a friend I was getting pains on the Friday night that were coming and going in waves - so we decided to time them they were 30 mins apart but then they stopped.

Waking up on Saturday I was in a bit of pain but nothing I couldnt fix with panadine and I lost my plug at about 2am after sitting up watching old movies (as I called the hospital to ask what I could take) By Sunday I believe is when labor started it was lunch time and I said to Sean that I felt strange and had this weird sensation like I needed to go to the toilet - I was unaware at the time that this was Jayde saying she was ready to come out.

At 9.30 at night I said to Sean I am going to bed please come in and check on me as I am feeling weird - He suggested we went to the hospital as both of us wanted to hear the heart beat - so we did. I walked all the way to maternity and said to them I was having pain but it wasnt all that bad.

They put the foetal moniter on and her heart rate would drop with every pain - so they got ob and he said do an internal - well her head was sitting right there - so they rush me into delievry room and after an epesiotimy - as her heart rate dropped she was out within about 17mins of pushing

My little girl was born - she wasnt breathing and had to be resussed but with a little bit of work she started to cry - so Daddy got first hug and then mummy as they were fixing me up

She was born premi and didnt need special care :)

So if I wasnt so tight I would have had her on the toilet at home :)

You did so well :D

Congratulations :D

Well done and congrats! She's just beautiful :)

aww, i love reading birth stories, thanks for sharing!
and congratulations :)

Thanks Heaps Ladies

She is growing and coming along nicely

Congratulations!! Great story - lucky you made it to the hosp in time!

She was a good weight for a premmie!

Congratulations on the arrival of beautiful little girl - she is gorgeous.

Wow Cole that is so cool, I didn't realise how close you came to delivering at home, hon! Thank goodness for your tight twat! :ROFL:

haha yes Ali it is a good thing or otherwise I would have been fishing her outta our toilet

I was told that birth weight she would have been about 8lbs

Wow, what a great job you did! Luckily DH got you to the hossy when he did, he must have known! :)
How premmi was your princess? It's fantastic she didn't need to go ot the SCN, what a little fighter.

She was 3 weeks (so it was pratically full term)

Such a little fighter - I was suprised she didnt need to go as her Apcard scores were pretty low

Congratulations and thanks for sharing!

Wow congrats on the safe arrival of your early bird, she did wonderfully to have gone through recuss and not go to the SCN :D

DD wouldn't fit either, and I ended up with two tears before the episiotomy :o but she had a big head :lol:
