Had My Baby!

At 4.55pm on 21st august I had a baby boy
called william darren george hatch. I
started having contractions at 1am and
went into hospital at 4am. When I was in
hospital I was already 3cm dialted. I was
on gas and air after that. At 10am I was
6cm dialated and then I was on pethidine
an hour later. The midwife tried to break
my waters but couldnt even find the
membranes and stopped as she was worried
she was going to poke the head. It turns
out I didnt have much waters to break lol.
I was given another pethidine at 3am and
not long after that I felt the urge to
push and I cant remember much of the last
bit. I remember the midwife telling me to
push and me thinking that it was a bit too
soon and her saying the head was already
out lol. William was born at 4.55 am and
was placed straight onto me and my
placenta was delivered fairly quickly. I
had a slight graze so I was given one
stitch which was very good considering
william was 8lbs 2 1/2!! He was a big
baby! William is doing great, always
sleeping. My sister is changing him at
the moment :d ill post pictures later on,
well thats if were allowed to now...

Congrats! I'm glad your labor went
smoothly. I can't wait to see pictures of
your little man! (assuming they're still

I was discharged just over a day after I
had .Aly. I probably would have posted
earlier than I did, except I have quite a
bit of stitching downstairs (still a bit
tender) and couldn't hardly stand to sit
down. ;) good on .Rose for being able to
snap back so quickly after labor! It's no
small feat to push a tiny human out
through your bits!

Aw congratulations sweetie! Thats so
sweet a baby boy. Pethidine is so cool.
My mum had that with my sister. I've had
dia-morphine for pain relief before and it
makes you feel like your on another
planet!
Melissa- I was let out 12 hours after baby
was born. Pethidine is a pain relief
injection usually given into the thigh but
it wears off after a few hours.

Yes the gas and air wasnt working much at
that point I didnt care less about the
pethidine. It didnt really work for a
while and I still relied on the gas and
air but near the end I was begging for
more pethidine and it wasnt long after
that when I started to push
