My Birth Story!!

Well all i can say is.....never f*#ken
again!!!!!LOL
I had the gel inserted about 12:30pm and i
started getting pain straight away but i
didnt start actual labour till about 5pm.
By 7:30pm i couldnt stand the pain so they
put me in the labour and delivery area and
tried using the gas but it was making me
gag and ended up throwing up.
Around 9pm my doctor came in to break my
waters and to check how many centimetres i
was. My waters ended up popping on there
own as she was checking....i was 7cm.
The next hour was the most horrific of my
life. Contractions were back to back i
begged for pethadine which they did give
me but it ended up being too late so it
didnt work. Towards the end the erge to
push was unbearable.
Guessing around 9:40pm the midwife checked
me again and i was 10cm finally i could
start pushing. The doctor was called then
the midwives noticed that her heart rate
was dropping after every contraction, they
gave me oxygen to help her. After a short
time of pushing the doctor had to use the
vaccum extractor to help me get her out.
When i pushed her head out they found that
the cord was wrapped around her neck! Then
with one more push she was out!! 
This next bit is still abit blurry so i'll
do my best. They put her on my chest but
she was having trouble taking her first
breath so they took her to a trolley were
they gave her some oxygen. She finally
started to cry.
So there you go.... Grace Evelyn Ball was
born on the 18th December, 10:08pm and
weighed 6lb 3oz. I was in labour for only
5 hrs!!!!
Well shes hungry again so i will have to
post pics later!!
shar!!

Yay for a fast labor!!  And like
everyone said, you'll forget about the
pain. I know...I never thought I'd be in
that much pain, but I can't wait to do it
again in a few more years!
Congrats again!

Congratulations!! I can't wait to see pics
^^ and I don't think you forget, more that
you just don't care lol. My first labor
was only about 3 and a half hours long,
but it was the MOST painful 3 hours in the
history of labor. With my next baby I just
got the epidural haha. Good job!!
