I'm In Labour!!!
Posted: 11-24-05 12:14pm

I just wanted to share that i'm finally in labour. My waters broke 10:30pm last night and i've been having contractions every 3-5mins since...Not really painful yet but I have a long way to go.

Wish me luck!

She's Finally Here
Posted: 11-27-05 10:44am

Well guys they eventually induced me as my labour stopped and they wanted to get her out because I broke my waters. Seven hours of hard contractions 4 in 10 mins and they did an internally to find I had mad no progress at all. I finally get an epidurally and contractions cease all together. I'm so dissappointedd at this time. The fetal monitor shows that her heart rate is drpping to 60 at times they finnally give me 2 hours to start contractions again or they would need to give me a c section. 45mins later I tell the mid wife that I feel pressure below. She doesn't believe me. Finallt=y get her to do another intenall and i'm fully dilated. They help me sit up and tell n=me that I may still need a c section if i' can't push her out in the next hour. The mid wives start getting things ready and I complain that i'm involuntarily pushing. The midwife turns around just in time to catch the baby.

She is 6.9 pounds. 51cm long 33cm head scores of 9 and 9.

Sorry about the spelling as i'm typing one handed while breast feeding my little one.

Thanks for all your support.
