Ok so i went in on the 3rd with plans to be induced but when i was examined i was already 3-4cm so they couldn't induce me so i had to wait until the morning to get my waters broken because things were moving too slowly. On the 4th at about 1pm i had my waters broken, which was gross i must say and then me and .Dom went for a walk to help things along nothing much happened for a while but at 4pm i was in agony and my midwife discovered i'd dilated 5 cm in an hour! At that moment my blood pressur dropped dramatically so i had to get on the bed, and that's the last thing i remember. What i'm telling you now i have no recollection of it's just what i've been told. When my blood pressure dropped and i got onto the bed i started fitting really badly, my body had gone into severe shock because of the speed of the labour. My midwife wanted to give me pain relief to try and trick my body into thinking it was alright because she doubted very much that i'd be able to have her naturally because i was fiting every five minutes, but i was still refusing to have pain relief so they had to call my mum and get her to come up to give her consent to me having pamergen. I had about 12 more fits in the remainder of my labour and was transferred to the high risk room. Now i do rememebr this bit, i can remember looking down and seeing her head which was a bit of a freaky sight seeing as the last thing i remembered was standing in a delivery room! .Mika .Charlotte entered the world at 6.01pm on the 4th july weighing 7lbs 8oz and 53cm long.
I had alot of trouble bonding with her because for the first night i was hooked up to a drip and a catheter so couldn't really move and she was on the opposite side to my drip so everytime i tried to lean over to get her when she was crying it pulled on my drip so i felt like a failure. I stayed in hospital untill the 6th and i finally realised i loved her on the 7th.
Breastfeeding is going so amazingly well, she wakes up every 4 hours for a feed and all the initial pain has gone, i love looking into her eyes while she's feeding.
Oh and my sister's weddign was amazing i'll post pics in a bit.
