Baby Jay Is Home. Posted: 02-05-05 05:32am
Im home :)
baby jay born 02.02.05 at 01:24am.
Weighing 5 pounds 12 ounces.
4 weeks early, 1 week premature.
Slightly jaundice.
She was born 22 hours after my waters
broke.
I dont know when my contractions started,
because what I thought were my
contractions, the doctors said wernt, so I
thought thwy were just cramps instead.
But they turned out to be my
contractions.
I went back into hosiptal at 8pm on
tuesday, with contractions, not regular,
coming 5 mins then 12 mins then 2 mins
etc apart, so the doctors didnt know I
was in labour. And being my first, I
didnt know what to expect with labour.
And they didnt check to see how dialated I
was.
I had about 6 really really really painful
contractions, before I threw the belt
things off from round my stomach and
waddled to the toilet thinking I was gonna
poop myself. Turns out that jay was
coming down the birth canal.
I nearly delivered her myself in the
toilet.
The doctors came running in after I rang
the call buzzer, and she was crowning.
So they asked me if I could walk too the
labour ward...
I was like eh?? I have the top of a
babys head sticking outta me, and u want
me to walk???
So they wheeled my bed in, and took me to
labour ward.
By the time I got too labour ward, my
contractions had pushed most her head out.
I was asked to push once, and pushed
her head out, they told me not to push,
just as I was having another contraction,
and the contraction pushed her the rest of
the way out.
I was in active labour for no more than 3
hours, or at least thats what im
thinking, because my contractions wernt
really painful until the last hour.
And the doctors cant tell me, because they
kept telling me I wasent in labour, and
they never checked too see if I had
dialated at all.
I had no pain relief in labour, since I
didnt know I was in labour. But I had
the gas when they gave me my one stitch.
I will post pictures of me and jay when
garry sends them from his comp to mine,
coz I not got a free usb port to d/l them
onto my comp.
Sorry my story is a lil confusing, but u
can imagine how confused I was, being told
I wasnt in labour, then giving birth.

Aww, i'm sorry it was so confusing. They
shouldn't have let you go to the bathroom.
I don't understand why they weren't
paying more attention to what was going on
with you and jay. I could have helped
you much more than those docs. Lol.
Well, congratulations
max!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How is the baby?
How are you doing now? Ttys.

Oh thank you :)
yeh, im quite upset with what happened,
because I dont know how long I was in
labour, so I dont know how fast the next
one ( when I get preg again) is going to
pop out.
Jay is doing really well, I had been
breast feeding her, but now my boobs are
waaaaayyyyyy to big, and she cant latch on
propally (my boobs like twice the size of
her head) so im expressing the milk and
feeding her it that way.
Im having a home birth next time, if there
is no complications of course.
I decided it will be better, because then
I will be one 2 one with the midwife, and
will be able to know exactly whats going
on when I ask.
She is the most beautiful baby ever..
But then I guess all mothers think that
about their babys :)
i should have pictures up later tonight,
or if not, tomorrow.

oh, I know how you feel! My water broke
at 8:30pm, I had my first contraction at
8:50, I was at the hospital a little after
10:00pm, and I had her at 10:50pm. I had
the same little thing with the toilet
thing happen, then they brought me to my
bed and checked to see how far I was
dialated (this was 15 minutes after I got
there) I was 10cm and ready to go! The
nurse went screaming out because the
doctor wasn't even there. She came, and
so did kylie. It was an awesome birth
though.

Congrats. Don't feel bad. My mom liked
to had me in the toilet to. Your daughter
and me could have toilet babies. Hahaha.
I hope I didn't make mad about that little
joke. Sorry if I did.
