Congratulations to all, sorry, I didn't check in for more than 3weeks. Here is a picture of our little princess as a newborn and a picture of her two weeks later 💕.
My birth story is pretty short. I was induced two days before my due date and baby Linelle has arrived the following morning. Induction started around 9-ish in the morning, contractions kicked in late afternoon, get stronger over night. The midwife broke my water at 3.45am and baby arrived happy and healthy at 4.50am with 7.13lb.
I simply devoted to her and to my other 4children and just could not part with our precious time so I didn't come on the board for long.
I hope you are all doing well ladies!
Will pop back in later to read all the stories I've missed.
Hi sorry iv not been on to do our birth story sooner , weve had a hetic 4 weeks .
So after being on the path way as little man had reduced movements and growth scans showed he was messuring small they decided to induce us at 37 weeks . On monday the 9th oct we had to go in , had the pessery and as the day , night went on contractions were comin on strong but not enough to go to the labour ward , so the next morning was examined and decided i didnt need another but theyd do a sweep and as soon as they had room on delivery i would be taken to have our waters burst , again contractions were there enough to take my breath away had the show but thats it , wed came still hadnt gone to delivery but was told again i was on the list and would be taken as soon as they had space , i was woken first thing thurs mornin as we was bein taken to delivery by that point the contractions had eased off so of we went . I had to ring hubby to wake him an tell him come in . By 10.30 my waters had been popped and i was on the drip . I wasnt allowed to move of the bed as little man was bein monitored .
After a few hrs my body decided it needed to push , they checked but i was fully dialated but my body wouldnt have it . It was like one giant contraction with no break . Babys heart rate kept droppin every push , do i was given something to slow the contractions down .next thing i no im on my side there messin about up there , another midwife was brought in , hubby saw a hand signal an over heard about the cord be caught around him , so there up there again pushin baby back to remove the cord , the contractions wen then brought on strong again . I was so exhausted at this point an was only on gas and air . I couldnt have anything else as the anethatist was in theater. I eventally gave birth to our gorgeous baby boy at 4.56pm on the thursday , stood up the back of the bed. Apparently i pushed threw my cervics which i didnt no was possible .
When he was born he swolled mucus so we had to force feed him to make him sick , we was allowed home the next day tho . Health visitor came day after was told he was jaundice he needed blood test every day , one the monday his test results were that high he needed to be admitted into hospital for light treatment , we was told he was 4 markers of a transfusion . He was allowed home the night after but needed blood tests everyday for the next week so it had been hosp and docs appointments for little man , and now theres a possibility hes got slight reflux, but luckly it isnt enough to affect his weight , he was weighed today and is now weighing 10 ld.
We was told he messured small , xander was born 7lds 7 oz , 3 weeks early . Hes absolutly gorgeous , were all so in love with our little man , and hes spoilt rotten off his big sisters .
Sorry its so long . Congratulations to all of you and thankyou for reading xx
